CE's for Labor Day Weekend

[JerseyMatt]

"Acquiring additional software"... Hmmmmm.. I like this release!!

 

[Jimbo]

Interesting, the + channels are no longer in the guide this week.

 

[AriesGodofWar]

What is this additional software it is downloading on my HR24-200 AFTER the receiver rebooted?? Very interesting.

 

[JerseyMatt]

Dont know yet.. Mine's still downloading.. Did anyone else's freeze and require a manual reboot?

 

[Jimbo]

Something else interesting, On my HR24, I downloaded the 0x4d9, same on my HR20-700.
You guys are reporting something MUCH different on the 21-23's .... Hmmm.

Not here.
Took awhile to find and get the software going though.

new gui for you

 

[Rey]

We have a new GUI!! Unfortunately it locked up my box and had to reset it.. It just froze after the banner came up..

some more pics would be nice

 

[JerseyMatt]

On it.. Had to wait for it to reboot, because that pic was while it was frozen..

I have noticed that it dropped all of my custom lists, and my locals are not showing up.. I've got it rebooting one more time then I'm going to do a refresh.

Guide (Looks like a the new guide is still being worked on)

Captions/subtitles are much clearer now (font scales properly)

 

[Jimbo]

So they went to avatars in some screens ?
Thats too bad, they make it look cheap that way in my opinion, thankfully it's not every screen.

I wonder why some HR24's got the HD GUI and other models didn't.

 

[raoul5788]

I got 04D9 on my HR20, nothing different! How did you guys get the new GUI and I didn't!

 

[charper1]

My guess is they are not writing updated code for that model any more; just a guess tho.

 

[JerseyMatt]

Yeah they're in all of the menu options except for "My Directv" (which is what they're now calling UMIGHTLIKE).. Yeah it looks cheap, but I can definitely see it because it's more "friendly" to look at. Text menus tend to intimidate the technologically challenged..

 

[charper1]

JerseyMatt; how long did the "Software Download" take or did you "OK" thru it?

 

[dfielder]

So they spent all of this time on an "HD" GUI, and they weren't able to squeeze any more info on guide? Still 1 1/2 hours by 6 channels?

Are there any significant changes other than crisper graphics and a few icons?

 

[Bodo Fenrirsson]

Was is the logic of leaving the HR24-500's out of the new updates?
