Sports in Beyond TV 4

I don’t usually blog, but I had a great experience with our new version of Beyond TV, version 4 that I had to tell someone about. Let me tell you a little about myself. I’m a 29 year old graphic designer who loves to watch sports. By the way I also love the new BTV 4 look (I did design it). I live a busy life but I always try to make time to watch an Astros or Rockets game on TV. Yesterday I went into our lounge here at work to try out Beyond TV 4. There was this new “Browse by Categoryâ€? feature that I found very useful. Instead of aimlessly scrolling through the program guide, now I have a more precise way of finding my favorite sports show in one place. This feature helps out enormously when I’m trying to set my TV schedule for the week. I really enjoy shows like “Inside the NBAâ€? and version 4’s new browsing by sports category makes it so much easier to find similar shows. I’m really looking forward to using this feature a lot in the future (still need to upgrade my system at home!). In fact, I’m going to use it now to look up shows on fencing — something I’ve always wanted to learn more about. Blog you later.

Although the browse function is better in version 4 ( I just upgraded from 3.x which I have been using for a year and a half ) it is still lacking some functionality. When searching for a specific sport, the results are still tough to weed through because the results do not specify which teams, only the name that comes back from the EPG: “Football”, not “Oakland Vs. Denver”.
