The mini-icons and BIGGER advertisement on the Home Screen is a poor design change — a big step back for many of us.
We go to the Home Screen to select our channels, not to view an even larger commercial.
Worse, we select among our channels on the basis not just of name, but location in the grid. It's muscle memory. With the smaller icons, the channels have been shuffled to different rows, so we have to hunt for the channel we want.
In addition, with smaller icons and our TV across the room, they are harder to see!
No doubt, some people with many, many channels will prefer fitting more in, especially those with bigger TV sets, but that ignores the rest of us who much prefer the old way.
Please restore the old design or, at least, give us the option to change it back!
