trying to download this but it doesn't move after 1%, though the numbers on the left corner change from 2/1/1/53 to 2/1/1/20 back and forth helppp

I've got the same problem. Wont get past 1%. They might not have gotten the update out tonight properly.

I chose not to download 022C because I haven't seen a compelling reason to do so. 022B so far has been rock solid (first release in a long time to be so), and the list of 022C "enhancements" was slim.

I can think of only one enhancement that'd be helpful: When reviewing the list of recorded items, there's currently no way to tell whether an item has already been viewed, if that item is also highlighted in yellow. So, I have to cursor off the item to see whether I've viewed it, then cursor back onto it to act on it. Those extra steps that could be eliminated if there was some other way besides white vs. gray text to indicate whether the item has already be viewed.

I asked for a review to see if it was worth while. I've read about nothing but bugs so far.

That's what the CE program is all about. Try the software, find the bugs, so D* can fix them. On occassion, you may get to try a new feature earlier than the everyday user. Good examples have been On Demand and MediaShare. When they first start new features, there are lots of bugs to pass up to the developers.

 

[darrencp22]

Yeah I know However, I was trying to get an idea on what the enhancements were beyond the release notes. Nobody seems to have anything to say about them.

Point taken, Mr. Master. . .

I did agree to test out new stuff when I signed on, so I apologize for bypassing the new CE. I should relax and take comfort that if I have to revert back to the national release, the latest NR is solid.
