I tuned to channel 621 to see if the Rangers were blacked out on MSG, as they are also on on VS. 604.
Instead of the dreaded 727, I received the following message:

Game Search in Progress
Penguins @ Rangers is blacked out on this channel. We are searching for this program on other channels.

A few seconds later another box popped up saying the game had been found on channel 604 and I was asked if I wished to tune there, being given the option to select a "Go to New Channel" box.

Upon selecting that, I was retuned to 604, with an "Enjoy the program" message, while being redirected.

Cool!

Yeah, it really is...and has worked fine in most cases where it's kicked in for me.

I had to do a "reset" today, and noticed the feature for the first time.

Were there any other software enhancements?

upgrade lately?
