Re: What's up with the show titles when hitting info? said by TimeWaster :
Anyone considering the older people or those watching on 15" TVs in their kitchen or office? If the font is too small how are they going to read it? The cable box may know what aspect ratio but not the size of your TV. You could always hit the INFO button if you want the full title and description.
But they currently show titles of more than 20 letters. From my example, "Diary of the Dead" would only be 17 characters. We all know the GUI is outdated, but they are just messing up things that don't have to be. "Diary Dea"? Seriously? "Diary of the Dead" could easily fit even with the current GUI.
And hitting the info button (twice) may give you the full title, but more times than not, you'll only get half the description. To get the full description most times, you'll have to hit Guide or the iO button, wait the 10+ seconds it take for the page to load, then hit the SEL button to select the guide (why is there a guide button again?), and then hit info to get the full description.
Heaven forbid they give the option to 'page down' on the smaller info screen. |
