While others will see this as a dumb reason the lack of the Live Guide is why I am not using Hydra at this very moment. I can deal with bugs and quirks(Hydra issues topic) but I just can't sacrifice a feature that kept me using Tivo for all these years over just jumping to whatever DVR Comcast has had through the years as my main go to box. The fancy new appearance in Hydra is nice and all but at the end of the day I use my Tivo to find and record things to watch and the Live Guide works better for me in doing just that. I will gladly stay with the current UI over any new fancy update to keep it that way.
You know, I decided to make the leap to Hydra thinking I could deal without a Live Guide and its brutal, you made a wise call.
After 3 days with no live guide I have come to the same conclusion.I can't live without it, waiting on hearing back when I (and anyone else so inclined)will be able to uninstall Hydra.
I would disagreeHydra consensus so far is not good.
Your method assumes you know what you are looking for. Looking through a guide is like looking at a restaurant menu to see what is available.I'm surprised this many people use any guide. My house mostly watches recorded programs and uses the search functionality to find and record new shows. Paging through channels, times, etc, sounds inefficient.
