IllIlIlllIll posted : my favorite part of the new guide is the ability to "favorite" specific channels and "list" (default list is an option also) only those channels in the guide, this is a feature i have been wanting for ages.
now its much easier to see whats on the 52 premium movie channels with one button press, since thats all i watch anyway.
now id be a real happy camper if the remaining premium movie channels that are in SD are changed to HD, that would add more value to the price paid for them.

When watching the optimum program guide video...

With the option "Record Series" does that mean "Record New Episodes at any time on this channel"?

Or will it record all episodes regardless if it aired before or not (new and repeat episodes).

That's up to you. Both options are available.

anon posted : The iPod app the new one. Looks like a better UI than the FIOS img guide 1.9.1 the guide is dark colors so it is easier to see. y people complained when fios came out with 1.9 with the light colors. I like the iPod version better than the beta photos. But they are going to update them all I guess since they say IP and not optimum tv. So we will just have to wait and see.

If you want to see how the colors look on your TV now go to channel 907

You better hope that they are not true.

Your post is just plain moronic. You say the pictures of the new guide are awful...then you say deal with it? I am dealing with it...by actually accepting and liking it. YOU deal with it.

And I better hope they are not true? What the hell is that even supposed to mean? The great thing about America is that there are options. Go to DirectTV or Dish or something if you want to be such a stubborn brat about a guide. So far you are the only person to post that has not had positive things to say about it.

Dolan:

"The Onyx guide is a significant change in the customer experience. I would liken it to some of the Internet video providers that are out there like Netflix, etcetera, but it's actually much superior to that and you can get a preview of it on the tablets that we have -- on the apps that we have on the tablets now, give you an idea of what that guide and that menu system is like. And you will see that it's quite superior."

SUPERIOR. Let's all say that again SUPERIOR. A preview of it on the APPS that we have on the TABLETS now.

Does his really look anything like the tablets now? Is it SUPERIOR in any way shape or form? To our current apps or Netflix or any other INTERNET based guide?

So if it is what that other guy says. Dolan is a bold face snake oil salesman. His word is garbage. His has ZERO credibility in the cable world. Dolan is void of any reality of what is the future. FIOS would still be blowing us away with their guide. Why even put it out there? This is supposed to be the IPHONE killer. Everyone is supposed to be envious of us now. I think not.

might not be the greatest..but at least its an improvement for most..maybe not for others. im sure cablevision realizes they can't please everyone

Correct, but your screen cap is not from any tablet app which was my point.
Cabletecht screen caps do resemble the app like dolan said not yours.

His screen caps look nothing like any cablevision app.

They look just like my "Optimum for iPad" app minus the Most Watched icons. They look nothing like the "Optimum for Laptop" which is where you may be getting confused.

why should we hope they aren't true? I think maybe you should be the one hoping they are not true...since you don't like them.

If you have service with cablevision and use cablevisions set tops, then get used to it.

Wilt Hildenbrand - Senior Adviser, Engineering & Technology

Or a laptop.

Or a laptop, you can see it there using the Optimum app.

Of course we should all be seeing it soon so might as well wait till we see it and then debate it.

Apple app blows that away. Which Dolan himself said it would look very much like.

The layout is garbage. Look at the "past" section, totally unnecessary & unpleasing to the eye. Let alone take up precious screen space. The colors are horrible, & the live viewing channel picture is ascetically in the wrong spot. Kills the flow to the eye.

Just plain garbage. What we have now maybe archaic , but at least it's clean and simple.
