0X02B7... going now...

 

[duffer14]

downloading in the UP!!!

 

[jcrandall]

Something new on the download, the progress bar changes color starting at 96%, like it is measuring the actual install, or the checking process or something.

It cycled through the second color at 96%, then again at 97%.

Then 98-100 only took a few seconds.

 

[srenker]

Holy bar graphs, Batman! Anybody else getting a light bar graph running over the darker one at 96% and 97%?

 

[jcrandall]

Look up

Same time posted, but I had to take the picture for ya'll

Downloading, noticed the new bar graph as well.

 

[srenker]

Guide download got to 27% on the bar graph, halted, and then switched to live TV.

Downloading 02B7 now.
wanted to see if Bama was going to try to get back into this game before DL'ing

Still noticing that once you hit the dash button and it starts to do it's shut down process, it seems to be taking a LOT longer to do the shut down portion than it use to.

Anyone else noticing this, wonder if it's relevent or not .

I just passed the 27 mark, no change, no problems ...

Mine used to hesitate near there and then start going again. Satellite setup has been whining about signal strength on 103(s), but I never miss any channels, so I think I'm just seeing the fringe of a neighboring spotbeam. I wonder if that confuses the guide acquisition though.

The (s) is the spot beam for your locals.
I have 3 strong transponders all in the 90's, others are much lower and yes they are other areas that you are not serviced by.
You will probably have 2 or 3 transpondoers that are strong on the Spotbeam and thats it.
