Re: [iO] New Guide Rollout

Since I have been slamming the new guide right & left, I figure I said a good thing about the new guide.

Don't know if anyone has noticed, mainly because nobody has mentioned it before, but now in description/info of TV programs, it shows exactly which Episode it is.

Example: NCIS S03E18 Translates to Season 3, Episode 18

I think this is freakin FANTASTIC. And it's for just about every show on TV/Cable. Sitcoms, Dramas, Reality programs it doesn't matter. Everything.

Tested it by flipping around the guide. Wanna know which episode/season that particular Storage Wars is from? It's right there in the info guide. Watching an old Law & Order on TNT, and wanna know what season it was from, it's right there.

I like this also. I was not sure if my shows last night were new or repeats and that info in the upper right told me.

I agree about showing the season and episode number. It's a good feature.

If only the guide could show some more info about other things like sports events and movie premieres.

Here's what I mean:

Sports Events: The "Search" feature shows where a game or event (baseball, basketball, etc.) is being played and also if it is live. The guide doesn't have this yet.

Movie Premieres: The new guide (and "Search" feature) shows "NEW" on the top for new episodes and events, but not for movies (as the old guide had done). It would be nice to see if a movie is new to a network or not.

It isn't a big deal, but it would be good if the guide had these features as well.
