We had the new Verizon Interactive Media Guide downloaded to our boxes on or about 1/18/08. Ive had a lot of trouble with previously programmed recording schedules working intermittently which I'm told by the Verizon support staff should now be resolved after a hard boot was just performed.
My real problem is with the new Interactive Media Guide Search Results: - The old microsoft guide used to return a 2 wk chronological listing of scheduled episodes, times, and channels for a program keyword search which showed which programs were going to be recorded on my dvr & in either series or single program mode. The single full screen summary result made it very easy to see what the dvr was going to do with each scheduled program episode title, time slot, and channel which greatly aided dual tuner scheduling for best recording results.

The new Verizon Interactive Media Guide Keyword Search does not appear to: a. Return a full 2 weeks schedule.
b. Easily Show Result titles long enough to read episode name.
c. Easily Show Which programs are being recorded on dvr in series mode.
d. Easily Show Which programs are being recorded on dvr in single recording mode.
e. Easily Show which program times are being recorded on dvr.
f. Easily Show which program channel is being recorded on dvr.
This appears to be a huge step backward in the usefulness of the dvr. Does anyone have a way to reformat the New IMG keyword search results to be more DVR friendly like the old guide was? Three calls so far to Verizon FIOS IMG Support Staff and no one can answer other than to say that I'd better get used to the limited dvr functionality of the New IMG Search as it will probably never provide the same useful dvr functionality of the old IMG search feature
