Fetch TV rolls out new features and an updated interface
Fetch TV has rolled out a suite of new features for its users, including the addition of channel favourites and an Integrated Universal Search which allows consumers to search across the entire Fetch platform for content.
CEO Scott Lorson said the latest update is part of an ongoing transformation for the platform.
The tv guide is now rendered useless , there’s too much noise, less info per page and slower to load, this is a backwards step and makes navigation more tedious and less intuitive, can’t continue, no choice but to cancel subscription and throw the box in the bin.
I agree with Andrew, the new menu system is really bad. Not sure any Usability testing has been done here. Clunky and slow. I’d love to roll back or leave the subscription.
I’ve just discovered the new Fetch interface tonight, so probably should give it a chance, but there’s no “Kids” tab. Previously when the grandchildren come over I could select the Kids tab and get all the relevant programs. Not sure what I do now, I certainly don’t want to make them favourites to clutter up my list. To a lesser extent, the other tabs including the “Included” will also be missed because it allowed quick access to other channels only rarely viewed, but I guess I should give it a chance to see how much more or less difficult it is to select channels. I like the bigger font on the TV Guide, but not sure if it’s worth the loss of information previously viewed on one screen, that is the show coming up in 2+ hrs
