The guide is a hot mess. It rearranged the channels. There are 3 options to change the list: Classic, By Category, and A-Z. All of them show the channels alphabetically. Changing the option make NO difference in the list display.

Recent Channels is gone!! If I want to switch between ABC and Vice I have to mash my remote forever. The "suggestions" on the home page don't show what I've watched recently, it's guesses are laughable. I watched a world cup game on Fox, now it recommends Fox News to me every time I open it. Recents is still on the website and my phone app, they just removed it from TV.

Another bug is shows with the same name. "Unsolved Mysteries" with Robert Stack and "Unsolved Mysteries" on the IFC Films Picks channel. IFC's show is a true crime series. I want to record all of the IFC episodes but Sling records all of the original Unsolved that plays 24/7 on it's own channel. The IFC one shows the Robert Stack thumbnail in the DVR, but the show has it's own thumb on IFC. The IFC episode descriptions are Stack descriptions, too. The IFC show is listed under "Extras" under the season list for Stack as well as mixed into the regular seasons. The only way to find the IFC one is to check every single Stack one.

Generally, I love Sling. After a lifetime of being tied to f-ing cable I'm thrilled to have easy streaming anywhere, lots of niche channels, a great price and unlimited DVR. But the Guide is turning into a hemorrhoid. And of course, there's no one to tell about it.
