New Last Watched/Viewed Feature

[lola15234]

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 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

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

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? 

[shadybk]

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.

[OohMamma]

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

[shadybk]

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!!
