The new recorded shows list sucks, I can't seem to be able to group by shows anymore. Oh yea and the only notification we got was two days after it was upgraded.

Strike one for Cox...

They've been airing commercials for a couple of months, saying it was supposed to happen in Sept 2010, but we didn't get our update until at least a week into October.

We didn't lose any DVR scheduling, either. It seems to run quicker, I'm impartial on the new design, I'll get used to it.

They notified us twice before and once after and we got a mailer two weeks ago and yesterday on the changes.
Sure it's a big change, rainman, but it's ALOT better.
The DVR functionality is alot more intuitive and it will "smart" capture shows that don't run standard times. instead of capturing an hour and cutting off the end of a show that runs 62 minutes, it will capture the entire show without having to be told to go an extra two minutes. it also has a setting for sporting events that run long.
All of the functionality of the old system is there, they've just added more.

Not sure if it's always been this way, I've never noticed it if it has, but I like how when you're fast forwarding through commercials and the show starts back up, you've usually skipped past the first few seconds. Now the system takes that into consideration and instead of resuming play from the point where you hit the play button, it takes that point and starts resuming a few seconds before. No more having to rewind just to catch the first few seconds after a commercial break.
