Feature Removed??? - Slow-motion/Frame-by-Frame (XR15 BlueCurve Remote)

[TroyH]

With the new XR15 BlueCurve TV remote there is no ability to play in slow motion. 

As someone who watches a lot of sports, this is very disappointing.  I frequently used this function before "upgrading" to BlueCurve. 

It would be great if this functionality would be available in a future software update.  As was indicated in another thread; pressing pause once, then fast forward once, would be a logical key stroke combo for this feature.

I agree, the slow motion feature is a great feature, and I would like it back.

absolutely ridiculous that a newer remote has less features than the old. I am thinking of switching to Telus.

@JJS11 --  switching to Telus

If you do plan to switch, note that Telus, several times, has offered me "buy-out" money, if I were to switch. Since I have Shaw Internet and Shaw TV, the offer was $20/month for each month remaining on my Shaw two-year Value Plan, which matches the "cancellation" fee that Shaw would charge, if I were to prematurely terminate the Shaw contract.  So, ask Telus if this "buy-out" offer is still valid.

Of course, as a "new" customer of Telus, you will get promotional pricing, for the first year, and maybe more -- I cannot speak for Telus or Shaw or Rogers.
