It isn't the HD guide that is causing the loss of the Playlist. Directv has locked the Playlist down from being displayed in the ip remote control apps. I have three remote apps (Android), and in the Market app description the app developers have noted that the apps will no longer be able to display the playlist. Directv did this on purpose, the purpose of which is beyond me.
IP control with android phone
Since the new HD guide update I have lost my playlist on my EVO 4g phone phone using the IP control feature. Everything else works fine. With the old guide I got the complete list of recorded programs shown on the phone. Anyone else have this problem and can it be fixed? The new guide also poses a problem with the guide not being showing on the SD TV's hooked up to them which I understand is due to no more dual SD and HD output. Just another big inconvenience.

A man looked up to the sky and asked, "God why me?"
A big finger came out of the clouds and pointed at him. "Because you urinate me off"
They are playing with you. Just putting in digs.

They have removed the playlist function from IP Control.
I noticed this as well, not sure why they would yank it. I didn't use it that much but it was nice once and a while. Hopefully they turn it back on.
It was removed "for legal reasons" and won't be returning. That's what those of us who tested it were told.Sim-X said:I noticed this as well, not sure why they would yank it. I didn't use it that much but it was nice once and a while. Hopefully they turn it back on.
Several of my Android Directv apps would display my Playlist. I could then choose from that. This was available until a month or so ago. I did like that feature. Now it just calls up the Playlist on the tv. I knew this lockdown was coming, but I was still disappointed when it was implemented."RunnerFL" said:It was removed "for legal reasons" and won't be returning.

Not sure what the legal reasons could be. It isn't like the programs could be viewed on the phone.
