Last week I mentioned that Comcast has updated the software on its set top boxes. The recognized changes were:

High Definition programs are now labeled as HD.
The PVR menu has been updated to include a search function.
The main menu now has a HD option.

Now Comcast has released full details on all the updates that are going to be rolled out. This includes a lot of new features for the Comcast electronic program guide (EPG).

Improvements are:

Easy access multi-favorites lists.
New indicators for free on demand shows.
A status bar to show you how long you have been watching a TV show.
Improvements to the PVR menu.
Parental Controls
And more....

1. Now, if Cox communications would finally update thier Commadore64 user interface. I would be glad if they would at least just use something more than the 4-bit color scheme menu, and some sort of anti-aliasing. Oh, how I long for a high-def TiVo.

2. Prior to moving I was a Comcast customer. I wish I could say I missed them but I don't. From dealing with them on the phone to moving around their site, I was never very happy with them.

3. Two time Crap Still Equals CRAP. The Comcast DVR interface is still horrendous and I count the seconds until I replace it with at Series 3 TiVo.
