Annoying behaviour of multi episode scheduling

AxelSt · 2007-04-02, 14:57

Hi,

just a minor suggestion for improvement: When I schedule a program from the EPG timebars, the next screen shows me all upcoming episodes with the same title (very good!). On one page, there is only space for three upcoming episodes, so there is the possibility to flip to the next page(s) of this upcoming episode list (very good!). However, when you flip through these pages and mark one of the upcoming episodes for recording, it will do that but immidiately revert to the first page. So when you want to program each of the three episodes on the third page, for instance, it means a whole lot of flipping and clicking

It would be much more user-friendly, if the view would not always revert to the first page of the upcoming episodes. Am I making sense?

You are right! That is annoying behaviour.

I have to agree....it is one of my biggest "beef's" with MP!

I wish that whole page would be redisigned!
I would prefer to see more listings on the page and always have it jump up to the next recording available after making a selection.

"...I think I have recorders thumb!"

Too much work to set-up multiple recordings of the same show.

--------------------------------------------------

May I suggest that the recording page be re-worked for layout?
Perhaps others can make suggestions for layout improvement???
