Dish Survey on New Guide

[pmjones]

Dish sent out a survey on a new guide layout they are testing. If you are curious, the survey will show the new one. I was not crazy about the potential change. If it ain't broke. . .

Haven't even got the new guide yet.

But my understanding is the goal is to make it look like dish anywhere.

Uhhh… That would be going the wrong way. They should make the Dish Anywhere guide look like the Hopper guide. The guide shouldn't be made more simplistic and stupider.

I agree 100%. It's like Apple making the macOS system settings look like IOS on the iPhone and iPad, another stupid move. Dish Anywhere is not a good user interface, the Hopper guide is much better.

I can't see them updating the VIP guide at all.

Email... I didn't fill it out because I don't use the guide 99.9% of the time.

The Dish receiver/dvr guide is one of the best and easiest to use. Sadly Dish feels the need to change it to the anywhere guide that does not have all the options and layout that the reviver/dvr guide has. Why change a good thing?

If Dish really wanted make the Hopper guide better they would also get the guide data from the web and not just from the sat feed that does not provide much local ota guide data beyond the 6 major networks. The Airtv for Sling is able to get most of the ota network guide data because it gets it from the web. The Airtv tuners use the same tuners as the Dish tuners so it works on the Hoppers as well and cheaper the Dish tuners.
