I just wanted to add my voice to the chorus complaining about the small, distressed-looking font of the program guide on the X1 box. I upgraded to the X1 box two days ago and while I love many of the X1 features, the font problem is really unpleasant.
Earlier tonight, the X1 box died after only 2 days of use so I went back to the old non-X1 box that I hadn't returned yet. The old program guide is so much easier to read, so I'm going to stick with this old box, even though it means giving up all of X1's bells and whistles.
UPDATE: While at the Xfinity store today, I asked them to display the X1 program guide on one of their TVs. It looked terrific -- so much better than it had looked on mine. I have a flat screen HD TV, so I'm not sure what the problem is. But obviously, many other people are having it as well. I have no problems with text legibility on any of the streaming boxes I use (Roku, etc).
