Guide Display in Windows

Channels DVR Server Feature Requests
#1

I'm running Windows 10 and when I look at the guide display, I can see about 3.5 hours of shows for each channel. I don't know if it is the same for others, but I have bad eyesight and need things somewhat large on the screen.

My problem is that there is no way to easily look at Prime Time on the screen. The screen doesn't scroll and the choice for starting time is either 6:00 or 9:00.

I'm often looking for things in Prime Time and find this very difficult.

Possible solutions:

  1. Add a menu item to the drop down time menu, just under "Now", called "Prime Time".
  2. Add an "8:00 PM" menu item to the drop down list.
  3. Add horizontal scrolling to the display, as is done on the Fire Stick.

There must be something off with your browser. While the choice of times are in 3 hour increments, the guide displays 6.5 hours of data. To view the additional data, you just need to scroll the guide itself to the right.

I looked into this further. I use FireFox.

  1. I can select 6:00 PM
  2. Scroll down past a hundred channels to the bottom of the page.
  3. Grab the scroll bar and slide it to the right, exposing later shows, but there is no way to know what hour I have scrolled to.
  4. Then I can scroll up to the top and see what hours align with where I have scrolled to.
  5. Scroll down to the channel I'm interested in.

There is nothing near the top of the screen to click on to scroll right. If there is a keyboard command to scroll right, I don't know what it is.

you probably have your os or browser zoomed in since you cant see. its scaling to your big visuals, that's the os, the webpage is behaving normally. set it to 100% to see more.

I have my browser set so that I am able to read the screen. It would make no sense for me to have the text too small for me to read it.

I did some more research. does a right scroll in Firefox. I can use this, but selecting "Prime Time" would be much easier than selecting "6:00 PM" and then scrolling.

#7

well obviously, that's why you cant see all the stuff on the screen like we do. thats how it works.

If your mouse has a scroll wheel, many models allow you to rock your wheel side-to-side, so you can horizontally scroll.

Also, if you are zooming in your browser, you may want to look into the accessibility options in Windows that offer you additional abilities.

Yea, clicking 'Shift' while scrolling the mouse wheel should move the grid horizontally.

Here's what I use in Firefox for the grid guide.
<Home> key moves to top of page
<End> key moves to bottom of page
<Ctrl-Right Arrow> scrolls to right
<Ctrl-Left Arrow> scrolls to left

Forgot to mention, if you enable Use autoscrolling in Firefox settings, click the middle mouse button (on mine it's the scroll wheel) will let you scroll with the mouse.

That is really cool you have such great vision! 20/20?

Does not work on my system. However, Shift/Wheel works, as does wheel press, slide right. It would just be easier with a "Prime Time" drop down selection.
