UI Scale or Font Size?

[Shaun M]

Hi :)

Are you able to make it so we can dial down the font a bit inside the Live TV app or scale the whole screen a bit smaller?

Trying to read some TV channels is hard, like the channel is "Cat Sports 3 FHD" But all I can see on the app is "Cat Spor...." because it's too long and the font is too big?

Thanks!

Buzz E5

Its mostly just in the “Guide” section, when I press the OK button that guide there looks fine but the text in the guide for channels is huge 

As you can see all I can see is Fox Sport…

On Android 13 boxes (like the X5 SS which I just checked) there is an option under Device preferences->Display options for "Text Scaling".  It has some fixed values to choose from (85%, 100%, 115% and 130%).   However this option does not exist on previous version (Android 7, 9 or 11) boxes as far as I know.

It does help a little, but you still get a limited number of characters.  Keep in mind that this is an OS option and this setting affects EVERYTHING on the box, not just the guide. 

I would have liked to keep mine at 115% (getting older)    But with that I would have liked to change the Guide view to be something like 5-6 rows (instead of 8 ), and instead of seeing 4 (30 minutes slots) to seeing only 2-3, to give each column a little more room.  Making configurable would have been nice.

Not going to speak for Buzz, but I think new features for BuzzTV 5 are not really a very high priority.  Dynamic scaling for these things can be very tricky, so it can open a whole new can of worms.  New boxes are coming now with BuzzTV 6 and I am sure the priority is on stabilizing that and adding new features to BuzzTV 6.    I may actually make a request for this scaling feature for the guide for BuzzTV 6, so maybe one day it'll be added, but I am sure it is not a huge priority any time soon.
