I don't know why this wouldn't be accessible from the IPG ...
It is clunky-ish ... but finally something useful and progress in a positive direction.
It does what it's supposed to, I guess, but so far there are a few wishlist items for the new search feature that I have.
1. Make it accessible from the Guide
(still have to fix the guide button and make it go to the guide)
2. Have a full-screen option with collapsible menus
3. Include stuff you have on your DVR in the search
4. Have the option to have a full keyboard instead of the number pad typing
5. Not very speedy
All I can think of now.
Good things though:
1. OnDemand titles included in search
2. Ability to save searches
3. typing in actor(ess) name brings up stuff they are in
4. Recording from search function
5. ability to tune/play directly from the search screen
6. ability to preview VOD from screen and it goes back to whatever channel you had on (no need to tune to 500)
All I can think of now.
I know I give them a lot of junk, but I am so happy to say I am happy with something CV has done. |

This is not bad, not bad at all. If this is an indicator of the direction CV is going in terms of user interface in the future, this is not a bad thing at all.
Obviously it could always be better though. |

It's not accessible from the IPG because the IPG is a product of the SARA software from Cisco/Scientific Atlanta, the box maker. The iO shortcuts is a Cablevision product. |

Shirley, NY | Wow, it only took 10 seconds for the shortcuts menu to pop up. Then another 10 for the search feature. |
