Ericsson is partnering with AT&T do merge the two platforms. This one is not Mediaroom. This one is totally built from the ground up. Its designed to work with SatelliteTV, Cable and IPTV.
What are the chances they will follow the KISS principle?
People want simple and speed.
They don't want clutter and confusion!
I wonder if Media First would have an option for a simple guide if someone didn't like the fancy graphics?
Well AT&T bought Directv. Look at Uverse and its guide and you can expect the directv guide to look more like that in the future. Why? Well someone at AT&T obviously likes the look and functions already and you can expect that the buying company will spread its culture and look vs Directv which eventually will be a name only the hard core people will remember of something in a footnote.
i find the 3 hour guide to be a long shot. the text would either be cut off on anything except a movie or would be so small you couldnt read it. you also have to keep in mind just because a TV is 1080 doesnt mean it has alot of screen real estate. you have to consider the tiny TV's as well.
Which is exactly why they should give the user a choice like Dish does in their receivers.
When using a larger screen with a reasonably smaller font three hours of guide can be very functional.
