wrap around list of recordings

Hello - I've got close to 200 recording on my DVR.

 

When I first open the list ( so the list is in date order, most recent at the top)

It would be nice if I could press page-up and it would roll over to the oldest

recordings.

 

This would be a nice addition to the list management; scrolling all the way to the end

when you have this many recordings is cumbersome.

It's been requested over the more than 6 1/2 years I've had Uverse and been here. 

 

ATT may be hesitant to make the change if it's anything like Tivo does.  ATT was sued by Tivo over Scheduled Recordings in the past and is gunshy in making those kind of changes. 😉

If Tivo have a patent and this feature is their "intellectual property",

there is something wrong with the patent system.

 

Just because they did it first, its such a generic thing, seems absurd it could be patented at all.

Unfortunately your beef then might be with the US Patent Office but that is the way it works.  ask Samsung, RIM (Blackberry), Apple et al

 

Yes, I have wanted wrap around menus too.  You do know that you can use channel up.down as page up/down in the list of recordings / Guide and so on?  It helps.

Since date (the default view) and alphabetical are already there,

why not just have a third option , date, oldest first.

 

Not quite as good a wrap around but much better than what we have now.

 

Surely, the whole idea of displaying a list in reverse date order can't be

some one else's "property"?
