New HD onscreen guide

I don't want it. I don't need it. I prefer the guide as it is now.

 

I don't need flashy bells and whistles. I don't need pretty pictures. I just need to know what programs are

showing for a given time slot. I set my entire days viewing schedule up in one shot.

 

What I DO need is the annoying habit of the scheduler to switch to the next programmed program

30 seconds early! When I want to start viewing a program at 3:30 and am current;y viewing a program at

3:00 I want to see the entire 30 minutes of the 3:00 show, NOT 29 minutes and 30 seconds!

 

I do not "buy" the answer that I received some time back that this was so those with DVR's wouldn't miss the

beginning of a program. Well, the programming guide allows for one to START Ba program 1 or 2 minutes early.

The functionality is already THERE. So why am I saddled with this 30 second "early tuning"?

 

Spend your time fixing things instead of creating flashy, new features of questionable use!

make sure sure to email your feedback to DirecTV.  as they won't likely see it here.  but what you don't like, is actually a heavily requested feature by most folks.
