But if you click on a 6PM (or other future) time slot show, then you can read the program description. It just makes channel surfing a bit less informative while watching the currently playing show.

It's a minor issue. I just haven't found out how to get the channel description.

It's the same way on the web, my phone, etc. So I don't think it's an issue with my FireStick or TV App. It just seems to be the way they designed it, or I haven't figured out the proper menu clicks yet!

Try to show you. Judge Judy playing in the background, and on Ellen, Demi Lovato is one guest. My access is through ROKU and ABB for internet.

Hint.

For those that have two homes and Direct TV.

The receivers are "dumb". The receivers don't know where they are.

Yes, but you can't read the show description, as an example, scroll right one show to the news at 5 and press select, you can read the show notes. But there is no way to read the show notes on the Ellen show without starting it to play which stops the judge Judy from playing.

It's like they should allow the menu button to bring up the show description without starting to play the show.

Thanks for trying, but my guess is that others don't care about this to go off topic here.

My wife is on her way to Comcast in Concord/Xfinity as I type this.
We are cutting "half" the cord and keeping internet which is very fast.
She has some kind of plan to pick up some gizmo at Best Buy where we can get TV...I'll keep others posted on what she comes up with.

Here's a streaming TV guide my wife found. It has many, not all, YouTubeTV programming. It will give you a brief description, or at least the title of the episode / program.

Now back to the tipping point.
