It's hard to put 62 items in order of preference. Why don't you eliminate the rank selector, and for each of the five buttons, make the left button mean "I don't care if I get this or not" and the right button mean "I better get this, or I'll set the building on fire."
HR20 Wish List Survey
See the results of the HR20 Wish List Survey (rev 1)
Note: This version of the HR20 Wish List Survey was closed on 16-Feb-2007. Please look for the next generation HR20 Wish List.
Welcome to the HR20 Wish List Survey - The unofficial feature request list
The survey consists of a number of items that have been suggested by folks here at DBStalk.com. You can rate each item from lower to higher with the lowest value being one (1) and the highest value being five (5). The value displayed in the results section is the average of all of the values entered.
The HR20 Wish List Survey is evolving as new ideas are hatched and old ideas are implemented. For this reason, I have adopted the following guidelines for changes to the Survey so that the process is constructive for both the participants and for folks at DirecTV that may review it.
Guidelines
The Survey will typically be updated each Friday morning (PST).
Additions to the list
Prior to 26-Jan-2007, any new item suggested was added to the list.
Beginning 26-Jan-2007, the following guidline will be used instead:
With the exception of a "killer" feature, all new item requests will be automatically added to The Back Burner. Features/Items will make their way off of The Back Burner and onto the main list by popular demand. This will be done by having a "Call for Poll" where there must be a First (the Call) and a Second within a 24 hour time period before a Poll will be created on DBStalk.com. The Poll will simply ask if the feature/item should be moved from The Back Burner onto the main list. The Poll should be a 3-day poll to give sufficient time for voting, and a link to the poll should be placed in this thread for reference. A simple majority (50% or higher) will move the item from The Back Burner onto main list. Items will be added to the HR20 Wish List Survey during the Friday updates.
Removals from the list
Each new item will get at least 15 days on the HR20 Wish List Survey. These items are easy to identify by the
![]()
icon. After 15 days, the following guidelines will be used. An item will be removed from the list as soon as practical if it can be determined that the item is no longer necessary (e.g. DirecTV fixed it or someone discovers a suitable workaround). With the addition of The Back Burner, items are less likely to be removed entirely from the HR20 Wish List Survey if they are low-scoring. However, if in the first 4 weeks, an Item fails to maintain a score of 2.0 or higher, it will be removed completely from the HR20 Wish List Survey. In addition, if an item marked "unlikely to be implemented" fails to maintain a score of 2.5 or higher, it will be removed completedly from the HR20 Wish List Survey. Items will be removed from the HR20 Wish List Survey during the Friday updates.
The Back Burner
Begining 26-Jan-2007, there will be a new type of item on the HR20 Wish List Survey called The Back Burner. This is simply a holding area for any item that consistently scores below a 3.0 for a 4 week time period. While some of these items may be nice to have, there is a poor response from the community to have these items added to the HR20. These items are not removed from the list, but, instead, put on the back burner for future reference. As some of the more important items from the main list become new features of the HR20, The Back Burner items may become more desired. Simply follow the Additions guideline above for getting them back onto the main list. Non-new items on The Back Burner must spend 4 weeks off of the HR20 Wish List Survey before they can be considered again for the main list.
Wording adjustments
The wording of an item may be changed for clarification.

Simply Brilliant! Perhaps D* could use someone like u. A well deserved sticky. Nothing but props for this "HR20 Wishlist Survey" Hopefully the masses will take their time to fill this out and D* will hear our pleas and take action.brott said:
Personally, i'm printing this and will 1st rank from 1-62, then will place a value on each one. It's obvious you took your time to make this survey possible, so I took will take my time to fill out accordingly. TY

One other thing I forgot to mention. I was originally going to have the wishlist entry items randomly show up (that's still probably the "right" way), but with more data, I expect the same items to start showing up higher in the list for everyone (can you say "Dual Buffers"). Since there are so many choices, the wishlist entry items will appear in the same order that they are currently ranked .. This MIGHT NOT be exactly the same as your printout, but it's going to be much closer than if I made them random.
I created the list you used.brott said:
I merely cut and pasted the requests of the forum users. I didn't verify if some things were already possible.And COOL utility! Thanks for going to the hard work and putting the list to use!
ability to backup setting to a pc over ethernet (when port becomes active). Would help with dead boxes
