[CFL] [TV] Guide color changes.... Uhhhh... Houston.....

In short... I hate it... Would like to go back to the old colors. And the view sorting is a PITA... I've already had to undo the sorting because the kids clicked on the wrong thing...

Ugh....

I'll add my complaint here...

When you bring up the guide (do not like theme either) that works, but pressing the button again brings up a screen for 'sort' selection. Why? Make this a setting, otherwise it required 2 button clicks to get back to the station.

This belongs in the suggestion thread.

Colors of new guide difficult for those of us with older eyes. White letters tend to blur quickly. How do I access the suggestion thread?

Well then it isn't that important to you then It isn't a wasteland there it places things in one place so I can track them and do what I need to do instead of hunting them down in hundreds of random threads a month.

The suspense is killing me....can anyone put a Picture of new Guide in this thread?

My location; Tampa......and it has not rolled out in my area as yet.

I have been waiting for an enhanced Manual Record Option (as opposed to the Fixed Increased\decreased minutes)....is that included with this update?

works similar to old guide just added a few features and changed colors, its definitely more modern now.

Also ISPalten,
The hitting guide more than once is pretty standard with companies as a way to sort the guide, most actually prefer it that way as far as I know.

Also, I think this feature not even needed since the HD for BHN is grouped in the 1000's anyways. Its not like dish where the SD and HD channel are side by side where sorting is more important. Whatever makes the masses happy though

it would be nice if TWC got a license to use the iGuide color palette in the guide I think iGuide has 12 or so colors to choose from it would give the guide a more of a iGuide feel and I would possibly give it a chance if they were to do that.

I woke up this morning, turned on my DVR and I now have the new guide from hell too. Central Florida here. Whoever developed this new mess needs to be fired. BH had the opportunity to finally give us an upgrade to the guide, to make it easier to read, without all the wasted space around the guide and the preview video taking 1/4 of the screen, instead they give us the same poorly laid out guide and then change the colors to black background and white/blue font. The BH developers need to take a look at Dish Network's DVR guides and come up with something similar for us. We need the option to view the guide in larger font and more than 5 channels on the screen at once. If they give us the option of a full screen guide it would be great. I hope they roll back this new software. The old guide isn't good, but this new guide is worse.

I think it looks good. It's a bummer that it's not full screen though. What a waste of screen real estate.

Any idea when this will start to roll out to Tampa Bay customers? Seems it everywhere else but here. Don't know if BHN utilizes Customers to Sample changes....after all, we are the ones that use this feature....if they do, great, if they don't....it should be something BHN considers...surely there are a lot of Customers that would be willing to Preview\test...provide feedback before releasing new versions. But maybe that is not possible, that is, no way to load New proposed guide on selected customer Boxes........

Would be nice if was full screen, with the few channels showing I get bored and give up after a few pages.

You can have my upgrade. The old version is easier to read than this new black and grey view. More like a downgrade.

CFL Brighthouse-got the new guide layout a few weeks ago and the dark background/white/blue are nearly unreadable along with more obviously wasted empty spaces.
I searched for guide or "theme" color changes in setup for quite a while before realizing that there was only one-size-fits-all.
The response of my digital box is sluggish now I can count off "one-thousand" after pressing buttons before the unit responds. (haven't restarted it yet, tho')

In these economic times I am not upgrading my TV to higher resolution or change my cabinets to be able to hold a larger one any time soon, so this just pushes me another step closer to searching for an alternative provider that I can see.
(I would only miss central florida news 13) Yes my eyes aren't as sharp, but the difference here is night and day.

I don't hate the new guide, but agree there should be color options for people who would rather have say black text on white or some other colors...can't be that hard to implement.

I have not seen this guide as yet, but reading it only provides 1 color when the previous guide must have had 5 or more color selections......you scratch your head and go, from many to no color selections? Why?

I also would like to see the Guide fill the screen, but, definitely want that preview screen to remain.

When I see the FIOS and Direct TV Guides at friends homes....I wonder why BHN's new guides have not come out better...with more ..... I am in the camp that still felt the original Guide was better....it had better customer user features, one of which was a Manual recording feature which I always used on Sundays when Football pushed all programming late.
