Here is a list of features/changes I have not seen listed often.

1. Increase guide to more than a week so you can better handle series. Currently, only 6 days are shown.
1a. (if not already being done) Remove Time Warner copyright from listings and add it programmatically. This would significantly save space (probably about 20% or more).
2. Improve phone options
2a. Busy call forward
2b. No answer call forwarding
2c. Anonymous call blocking
2d. International call blocking
2e. Locate Me
3. Additional scale so an hd program in a SD screen can be scaled to fit the screen correctly. The current zoom overscales.
4. Oldest first on listing of DVR recorded series (but keep youngest on list of recorded shows).
5. Be able to set the cable box to not automatically turn off. I want to be able to go back on the current channel when I turn the TV on.
6. When fast forwarding is turned off be able to fast forward to where you have been before. Also, be able to skip ahead 15 minutes. If you want to continue watching a show, you didn't have time to finish watching, you can't when fast forwarding is turned off. It would be better to allow FF completely, but I understand you have contract obligations. This would be a nice compromise.
7. Pushing B searches for the current show (like it used to, one of the nicest features.)

Hmmm.... All content offered in HD has an SD simulcast, no? And some channels have even converted the SD to a letterboxed version of the widescreen. Is there a particular reason why you want this?

Yeah, I like that, too. I think it's much more intuitive.

This is already possible. You have to change Power Settings in Settings.

I -thought- if you stopped the onDemand and then queued it up later, it would resume where you left off. Is that really not the case for FF-disabled content like Primetime HD? Never knew that. If it is, that sucks.

The Selective Call Blocking feature
Provide three columns
The current one for Phone Number Blocked
Add one for Caller Name (but don't make a required field)
Add one for Date Added (or do so automatically for us = even better)
Ability to click at the head of any column to sort ascending/descending order.
This would be nice since there are only 30 numbers allowed, as you could more easily determine which one(s) to delete once you reach the 30 maximum. Even if more than 30 were allowed, this would still be a helpful feature to me.

Along with a Roku or even an Apple TV app, I'd like to see the AXS TV channel added to the lineup as well as access to the CNN Live online service. Oh and since I'm on the topic of live TV online, I would LOVE if CFNews 13/Bay News 9 would add the ability to watch LIVE online. That would be great when in the office during a major local news event or when out of town.

Actually that's not true. The BHTV app is ONLY available at home. I've tried it and each time I've gotten the following message. "Live TV is only available when you are in your home connected to the BHN provided cable-modem." What I'm talking about is closer to what local news stations do. They provide a link on their website to watch their newscasts live online from anywhere.

Feature addition to call blocking. Block "out of area" calls as that is rapidly
becoming the means to bypass call block by call spammers of all types.

also note that I have never gotten an important call from "out of area"

Sometimes I wish there was a button to push on the phone to call in an air strike on a telemarketer that ignores the law.

Now that would be really handy when the political crap calls start...

That's going to the top of the list because I think 100% of those here would agree with you. Any preference as to the type of airstrike?

Easy Gadget

Allow Easy Gadget to start minimized to the system tray on startup. Right now it starts on the desktop and I have to manually minimize it all the time. I don't understand why this is to hard for them to code into it.

It happens automatically when you dial *77. Notice how fast the calls stop.

*77 does not work for calls showing as "out of area" which is what they are doing now to bypass call bock , hence my previous request for the
ability to block out of area calls.

But my problem is a big bang and fireball happens so quickly....thinking of something out of the box, much slower and painful. Make the strike so horrible in nature that nobody would dare violate the law Perhaps a drone that unleashes hundreds of tiny razorblade bots that litterally slice and dice the offender to pieces over lets say 10 minutes.

You still need the fire afterwards to clean up the mess. Since there wouldn't be anything left, you could exaggerate the number of the evil telemarketers eliminated...

Requesting improvement to the Guide

Perhaps listing channels by number exactly as shown in your local region (please explain this one if this is 1 or 2 on your list).

Would like a speed increase, and more logic behind the HD channel numbering. Channel 58 on SD is channel 1282 on HD. Makes it hard for people finally making the transition to HD.

More logical groups, such as put all sports FAR down the list together instead of spread through-out other programming. Put it in the 300s or something, just 100 channels of the same sports, so they can easily press up/down, etc without needing to jump around. It also benefits in that I won't have to skip chunks of channels to get around the sports blocks.

----- And this is the one that really just needs to done anyway, just for decency sake. Create a separate menu for adult content. I do not want to type in Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, and get Porn on top and bottom. I am not a child, but some of the names are not something I want people to think I am looking up, and I simply don't want to see it and work around it when trying to find an actual decent show to watch. Make the ones who want it press a button combo when searching for titles or something, or just remove the adult content completely from the search. The people using must know the channels that have it, so can go directly and look on the On-Demand or something for it. It doesn't need to be on the normal channel search.
