Using the "last watched" used to be one step. This morning Verizon changed it to a 2 step action. Hate it. How do I go back to the old, one step action.
I just found out that you can disable this and go back to the old version.Go to Settings - System - TV - Last Watched Rail - Disable
I agree, it's terrible! I want to go back to the old way.
There is a setting to go back to the previous implementation:
Settings | System | Television | Last Watched rail | Enable/Disable
Hate hate hate the new last channel button. The point is to quickly go back to the last channel, like when you're watching 2 football games. Now I click it, wait a few seconds, then a list comes up of previous channels I was watching. I already know what i was watching, that's why I want to go back. Extra clicks every time. What a pain.
CRob,
Thank you so much for the solution to this most annoying problem. So glad you were able to help.
Did you read the solution right above your post?
Every since I got Verizon FiOS when I pressed the last button on the remote it would simply change the channel to the previous channel I was watching.
Today when I tried to press it a menu popped up with recent channels I've watched and I had to select the channel I wanted to switch to. This adds unnecessary steps of pressing multiple buttons to go to the last channel.
How do I make it so the last button simply switches to the previous channel and not bring up a recent channels menu?
Why take the button used most often other than Mute and mess with it?
It's like if you were to press the power button and a menu popping up on your screen asking you to select which device you want to turn on.
Why not give us the option on the new or old last button.
You can actually get the Last button to function the way it used to by turning off the rail in the settings:
Menu > Settings > System > Television > Last Watch Rail
Thanks, I couldn't find that setting.
worked for me, Thanks.
Totally agree... Why change this button? It's a pain
Hi -
I have been waiting for this feature. My last cable provider had the option, when you hit last, to see up to the last 8 stations you viewed. I really missed that.
It's great, say, for Saturday college football. I think it's great to see a list of multiple stations you watched. With this new feature I will be able to switch between multiple games. So, if I want to switch between 4-5 games I will be able to do that without having to search through the guide constantly. So for me personally, I love this new feature. My opinion. Great feature...
PS: And it's great that if you don't want the rail at times you have the option to disable it. Best of both.
Have a great day,
Jimm
Not only record but even in channel surfing as well. I called Verizon about this and they had no answer. It does not make any sense. If something works, leave it alone!
Good eye!
( Menu > Settings > System > Television > Last Watch Rail )
Really helpful! This was quite annoying -- and unneeded.
Thanks again!!
THE NEW LAST PROGRAM WATCHED OPTION DOES NOT WORK
GO BACK TO THE OLD WAY
Agreed!!
*Update*
You can actually disable the new feature by heading to
Menu > Settings > System > Television > Last Watch Rail > Disable
New last channel is horrible, have to push more buttons to get to last channel ! Dumbest thing Verizon has done. PLEASE uninstall, never mind you'll hurt someones feelings ! Need quick last channel for sports etc !!!
Thanks JR11 !! Had to push more buttons for last channel, don't understand why they did that, oh well! You fixed it for me ! Thanks again...
Worked for me...
Thank you!!
Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! I absolutely hate the new Last Button format. Thank you for providing the way to go back to the old format.
Wow, thanks for this info. What **bleep** thought that 'feature' was a good idea to impose without any warning or option? there's a reason for the 'last' button. Let it do its job!
If you read earlier in this thread, some say other providers have this.And they like this option.
So luckily they gave this option a disable feature.
Thank u so much!! It works perfectly
Thank you so much. It worked perfectly. I still can't figure out why they would ever do something like this
Thank you for the instructions on how to disable the 'new' Last Watched Rail feature. It was a TERRIBLE two step operation. I was able to bring sanity back to watching TV by following you instructions to disable it. Whoever came up with the idea to make that the default with last night's solftware upgrade, should be fired.
