The new format for xfinity cable

I was extremely irritated last night when all of a sudden the format for the xfinity app on my smart tv completely changed!!  And not for the better!  Today I’m even more irritated to find I have to scroll through every channel on the guide, there is no longer a “favorites guide list.”  And when you want to return to the top of screen for the menu bar, you have to scroll through ALL of the channels you just passed!!!!  When I go to look at recently watched channels, the name of the channel isn’t listed, just the show that’s airing!  I’ve always loved Comcast over Verizon, but this might send me back.  An absolutely horrible update to the app!

You also can’t see all your recordings for a show in one view. The recordings section shows things by date in all separate tiles so you have no idea how many episodes of a show are there and the oldest one to start with without scrolling across every single tile. Every change is counterintuitive to what would make things user friendly. There are no enhancements worth any of this.

The update is a step backwards. I no longer can easily toggle between recently viewed channels, there is less information in the listings themselves and they rake more space.

it seems I likely that the people who "designed’ the update actually use it

Agreed! This new format really sucks!!! We pay so much for this service and it feels like we’re going back to the dinosaur age!! Get your act together Comcast/Xfinity!! 😡😡

I use the streaming app to program my DVR. Not only can I not access my favorite channels, you can only program out seven days where it used to be 13 days. You cannot see your scheduled programs. When you do look in the guide, for example, on movies, it doesn’t say if it’s a repeat or even what year it is
this new streaming app is totally unusable to me. What a waste. I see I’m not alone. Now the question is, will Comcast do anything

Put it back the way it was. It was a great tool for me

Ok so we all post our frustrations here, but I have yet to see that Xfinity is even knowledging out complaints and are they helping or resolving?  Ok this is a great place to vent, but what in the world is Xfinity doing?  Anything?  And how come you can’t google resolutions, and why is this not all over the news?

This update needs to be reversed. Plain and Simple.

I for one hate the new format. I’m not interested to scrolling through hundreds of channels just to locate the 10 to 15 I watch. Do us all a favor and bring back the old format.
