The new guide format doesn't really bother me that much, though it is harder to read. What has me furious is the changes to the format of my DVR recordings.

There is no longer a list of the episode recordings , sorted by date. There is apparently no way to pick and choose out of say, my 60 Minutes recordings - the particular episode I want to watch. In trying to get past the only one that would play the other night, I ended up deleting the entire 5 episodes I had stored. It is BEYOND frustrating.

I've had Direct tv for over 20 years, but I'm seriously ready to switch to another provider. Ridiculous!

Reason of review: changes to DVR recording guide.

Preferred solution: go back to the former format!.

I agree 100%. I am really sorry I had the Genie system installed.

As far as I can tell it is a major step backwards.

So far the only good thing I can see is more storage. Terrible layout, poor software design and fewer useful features.

I can't even find half of my shows. So frustrating!

I agree. This change must have been an attempt to justify someone's existence because it certainly isn't any sort of improvement.

It has made everything either harder to do or impossible as in the episode listing in recordings. Wonder what the guide for Dish looks like?

AT&T are a bunch of D..K Heads but they have no problem paying Trumps lawyer big bucks.

I hate the new format. TOO DARK AND CAN'T READ IT. I'M GOING TO SWITCH TO INFINITY.

Guest

Agree. I hate the new format. I canโ€™t get anything

Guest

It's horrible thinking about switching to another cable provider

Guest

I completely agree. Why change something that worked fine?

Guest

How many bad reviews do you have to get on the new guide format ? What were you thinking ?

Itโ€™s awful. To prerecord the next episode you actually have to search the program.

Upcoming airings doesnโ€™t even work. What a terrible update.

I hate this. Itโ€™s so hard to even find a show to record.

Itโ€™s ridiculous. And none of the update makes any sense.
