OMG what did Dish do... my interface with the hoppers is horrible sh*t!.
I want it back the way it was... how do I put it back?

Look at my post a few minutes ago in the thread "Issues Surrounding CUI Update."
It keeps getting worse. I now think of it as the Garbage User Interface.
Good for you if you don't see the problems others do. Or if you don't care. But the fact is, Dish removed features we liked and used. Dish released something quite a bit slower on the HWS, and WAY slower on the H2000. Dish released something unstable (again, see my post in the other thread- I have photographic proof).
A few bones thrown our way do not compensate.
Agree, I'm scratching my head trying to figure out the positives. I haven't had issues with the timers, but here's my list of negatives:Here is a list of the positive features on the HWS with the CUI.
None
Negative features.
Too many to list.
2 1/2 hour guide instead of 3 to cover PTAT.
Colors should have choices for various options. Both defaults are not easy to focus on.
Watching a movie on the EHD and having to go thru the entiries twice to watch a movie.
Old search features were much easier.
Timers not recording 100% of the time.
Timers disappearing.
New timers not showing as new in the guide and not recording.
etc: etc:
All you have to do is hit the DVR button then hit the skip button and you will be on the schedule tab.Agree, I'm scratching my head trying to figure out the positives. I haven't had issues with the timers, but here's my list of negatives:
- Slow
- 2.5 hour guide instead of 3
- No 4x ff
- No search history that I can see
- More button presses in search to get to the results
- Can't hold down the 30s skip button to advance 3 - 4 minutes at a time, have to press button several times. Previously I could hold down the button for a second or two and the system would advance 3 - 4 minutes at a time, one press
- Not able to get to scheduled recordings easily that I can figure out. I have to press the DVR button then use arrow keys several times to get to the scheduled tab. Previously I could just press the button 3 times. I'm not actually quite sure of the sequence on the stock remote. On Harmony remote, you can program a macro to run several keystrokes, so it was like pushing one button.
Thanks for the tip, I can reprogram my harmony. Solves that one.All you have to do is hit the DVR button then hit the skip button and you will be on the schedule tab.
It was clearly designed for more powerful hardware (the Hopper 3) so this isn't likely to change.... All Dish could do to make it faster is major optimization of code, but I would ask why that isn't (wasn't) done from the start ? Hell, it would make it even faster on the H3.Slow
It takes (1) button press to access the results. As you type, you see it narrowing down the results and it lists the (10) closest matches. Just press the 0-9 key that corresponds to the result you're looking for.More button presses in search to get to the results

I meant after you get to the actual episodes results. It dumps you on the Summary tab, then you have to advance to the Episodes tab, then you have to expand each Season just to get to the list of episode results. If there's a quick to immediately get to all the episode results, please let me know.It takes (1) button press to access the results.
