I've got a couple suggestions to make live tv show selection a little easier to get more details.
I appreciate the addition of channel numbers when looking at a show in discover. I'm probably not the only one who hasn't memorized which channels are which by number though. Could we add the channel logo or an abbreviated channel name to this screen?
Another thought is in this same screen, can we find a way to put the start time of the episode or movie? It wouldn't be needed once it's recorded, but i don't have a way to see if the movie I'm checking out in discover has just started or is 5 minutes from ending, and like many people, I'd rather not watch the ending before I've seen the beginning.
Thanks, and I greatly appreciate the work you guys have put into this new ui.

Good thinking. How about we show a progress bar under the episode image?Bobstr wrote: Sat Apr 26, 2025 11:53 am Another thought is in this same screen, can we find a way to put the start time of the episode or movie?

Progress bar sounds interesting.
My first thoughts on seeing the time it started sounds more informative to me personally, but anything that allows the user to determine how much of the show they've missed when selecting the show in discover so they can decide if they want to go to the show live or look for something else would be fantastic.
Thanks for the response guys!

I like the progress bar. Nice, simple, unobtrusive.
Thanks!
