New on demand Format
The new on demand format is awful! The boxes look like att is trying to be like the facebook 'likes' which suck anyway. Those big boxes you are using don't tell us a thing and certainly do not make navigating the on demand list easier, they make it harder. When I finally do get to a list the font is way to small, the layout gives me a headache and we need to go through far more steps to get where we want to go. Also, when we finally get to a list of shows we now have the title of the episode rather than date it aired. Who knows the show's titles in the right order? NO ONE!!
Who comes up with these ideas must be on drugs and don't you people trial new ideas with a variety of your population? It seems like you may have had 15 year olds trial it and forget asking adults for their opinion.

I've used it enough now that I actually like it. Maybe it's just me, but it seems to have gotten quicker the more I use it, and I use it A LOT.

mibrnsurg, this change does not speed up the program.
Still slower than molasses in January. The old format was considerably faster, this new one is likely to cause a lot of customers to change over to Dish TV or other service. Also, the movies in premium on demand haven't changed much in two years.
Got to go check on pricing for Dish!!!!

Apparently, you are not familiar with how On Demand works with Dish.

Have you done a reboot to clean all the junk out of the memory? That could help, Thursday I got a 2250 replacing my original 1216. The 2250 is very fast as I notice it has 48000 KB of memory, the 1216 only had 8-9000 KB of memory.
I don't have any problem w/On Demand or Search. On Demand you can turn it back into a list version. After the first right arrow, look in the lower left border for 3 small icons, the bottom will turn it back into a list version. 😉

Why was this post moved here?!?! I'm not complaining about the new On-Demand, I need help getting it to work on my XBox. @Taylarie moved it here "for better exposure", but now my post gets buried in a pile of complaints.
I can load the interface, but all of the videos say "This video is currently unavailable or has been removed from U-verse On Demand. Please try again later." These videos work on my other receiver. I've rebooted my XBox and reset my system from the options menu. Any suggestions?

Might try a unplug/plug in 30 second reboot of the RG to try and get On Demand on the Xbox. 😉

Sounds like that user on DSLReports rebooted the DVR (and not the RG) as he stated he did from the Options menu. 😉
