Re: The One, The Only...iGuide Ads Thread
said by RJ  :I used to see six rows of channels at a time, now I only see five.  I like to scroll through movies one at a time to read their descriptions. This is one additional button press for no good reason. It has no functionality besides annoying the crap out me. If thats your reason for hating it then I have to laugh....just because you have to push a button one more time?
I can understand and respect hating it on the principal of the matter...but just because of an extra button press?

| I can understand and respect hating it on the principal of the matter...but just because of an extra button press? No, one extra click isn't a huge effort. I just use the page down button when I reach the last show. The point I'm making is that I lost functionality in exchange for a big fat ad. That's the principle I'm hating it on. |

And as you can see in my screen shot, they can easily add that 6th row of guide information back if they only resize the ad a little bit. Come on now, I can do it for them in Photoshop. Resizing images is a piece of cake. Comcast programmers are just being lazy that's all.
Edit: Here, I really quickly edited that screen shot in Photoshop to PROVE that it is possible to still retain 6 lines of information and have that stupid ad. I only copied the last line of the guide in that screen shot because it was the easiest to do right now. |
