Guide suggestions

I am loving Channels and the DVR - great job guys! I have a few comments and suggestions - I’ll start here with some for the guide.

  • first, what seems like a bug. Sometimes when I create a recording (in the future) from the guide, the program doesn’t turn gold. I’d say this happens maybe 30% of the time. It seems to turn gold, usually, if I leave the guide and come back to it.

  • I scrolled way out to the right on the guide, almost 2 weeks or so, while I was finding my shows I wanted to record. When I was done, I wanted to go back to the current time, but there didn’t seem to be a way to do this other than just scrolling back left - which took a whole lot of swiping. Perhaps the guide should go back to the current time when you leave the guide and bring it back up…or maybe have a gesture or something to get it all the way back to the current time? (if there’s a secret way to do this now, do tell!)

  • related to the above - when scrolled out to the right in the guide, there doesn’t seem to be a way to get back to the filters on the left (All/HD/SD/etc), without scrolling all the way back to the beginning.

  • I would love the “Search” feature to be able to search program descriptions, in addition to titles. For example, if I searched for “Aziz”, I’d love it if it matched tonight’s Saturday Night Live.

#1 is in fact a known bug.

One more guide suggestion - if I’m watching a channel live, and I click Menu to view the guide, IMHO the guide should display with the channel I was just watching highlighted. Now, it seems to be scrolled in that general area, but it’s usually a (seemingly) random channel highlighted, so it takes some swiping and clicking to get back to where I was.
