I see something weird on my 8300HD now.

When I pull up program info for [email protected], [email protected] or [email protected], channel logos appear in the program description.

I think the title and description are the same for those programs so it should have been
title: [email protected]
desc: [email protected]

But instead I see
title: [email protected]
desc: CP24(A&E) <-- and a gold and black A&E network icon instead of the @11

I see similar logos for [email protected] and [email protected], (I think one is a PPV logo)

Not sure what's going on, though I suspect the @ symbol is some sort of escape character in their software, and it seems that the 8300 has at least some channel logos stored locally, ready to display in the right circumstances.

They must be experimenting with logos. @8 I got PPV and @10 I got USA...

My 8642 shows the same thing. I checked further ahead at [email protected] and see "CP [ABC logo] Noon"

Ya, seems like the @ symbol is causing a logo to display.

I also see it on my 8300, but not 4250.

It's good to see though that they are experimenting with this feature. I would enjoy seeing some logos personally...

Very True.

I would like them to use a graphical HD logo in the space beside the Call letters, instead of appending the letters HD to the Call letters. This will help identify HD chanenls easier, and if the tests are successfull for rogers on all the boxes in their network, they can easily roll it out

The STBs are already pretty stressed with what they need to do. If this makes the STBs any slower or takes away from other functionality, frankly, I can do without it.

 

[alebowgm]

thats a fair comment, but how hard is it for the stb to display a logo?

Not sure if they are actually "testing" it or is it just an unintended by-product of using the @ symbol in the description. Seems like the latter to me.
