L750, 11-29-11
- Features
- AK/HI EPG Updates¹
- Sling HLS¹
- EPG updates¹
- On Demand updates¹
- All Sub favorite list changed to My Channels, All Chan no longer sticks as the default list (source)²
Dish explains: L750 minimizes access to the “All Channels” EPG list. “All Channels” has been removed from the Favorites Lists menu and can now only be selected by toggling through the Favorites Lists while in the EPG. If a customer selects “All Channels” and exits the EPG, the EPG will default to “My Channels” the next time it is accessed. This is being done in an effort to reduce customer confusion caused by being able to view channels to which they are not subscribed.
