New List format is awful

The new List function is horrible. Under the old format, I could select recorded shows with one button. The new function is counter-intuitive and just awful.

Changes to DTV Programming Features

I hope Mr. John Abzidir reads my new post today, 7/6/26. Another lie when it comes to explanations about changes in DTV programming features (Cast & Crew and Ways to Watch). No one asked for this change.
