Maybe it's just my installation, but when I went to a vertical listing of a selected channel's EPG, I could only scroll down about a one day's worth of upcoming programs instead of the full week in the horizontal mode. Have I been teleported to a Bizarro world or do people actually use the latter view for programming?
I also prefer the old way of Enter, Enter, Esc for programming as I could immediately see after pressing the first Enter if there was more instances of the same program on the right side and then go to verify that I am not accidentally recording a rerun and mark all new episodes for the whole week. Although in the latter case, the fact that in my country the age restriction information is added inside brackets after the program's name is real annoying when some episodes have different ratings. So being able to ignore the bracketed information would be a great addition.
If only the MP2 client could have used the MP1's TVservice, then I could have tested the EPG GUI with new client on another PC and keep my DVR-PC intact instead of messing with it and spending a full day on getting it back to a working condition after it turned out that on the fly verification during imaging was somehow not enough that PC... For everyones benefit I waited over a month before writing this post just to let me cool off and not to let my frustration over the incident affect too much on my opinions to the problems with the new EPG GUI.
