While they can adjust, majority of people outside of these forums don't know how to do that let alone calibrate their tv. DirecTV's products have to be ready for the masses out of the box. That means accounting for what people don't know. While for you it may not make sense but for the 80 year old grandma who just bought her TV from Bestbuy, it does.
Not everyone does that. like above you have to account for everyone. There is a reason why productions have title safe areas.
That's another issue with doing 1:1 mode. Many stations do that.
Dish put a simple method of picture adjustment in their menu for those that have TVs doing overscan (out of the box or set). It's a feature for seeing all of the guide. I don't need it because I use dot for dot to get sharpest picture, but my Hopper3 installer pointed it out as if I were "the 80 year old". Savvy consumers with 1080p or 4k TVs don't need it, but my original question was why do Genies not offer it as implied in an earlier post. On topic, a new interface can use almost all of the real estate if adjustment is easy.
Possibly the link to the database where the FW Watcher gets its info. is down, if not the database itself.
Problems with the Watcher service have happened before ...
Humm ...
Been awfully quiet here ...
So anyone know if there was a new CE download version of the UI last night?
Couldn't tell what with the FW Watcher still down and I don't like d/l'ing firmware in the blind, only to have to bailout if there is no CE in the stream and just the NR tries to come down instead.

Good point ...
I was out last night so I don't know.
If I find that there was new software last night, I'll load it tonight.
0FD9 was the ce last night. Didn't notice any improvement at all . Instead older recording it change to latest recording. On Demand not loading. The guide look the same as last week. I'm not impressed with the new guide so far.
I have been updating to new software 3or4 times lately, however this is the first time I actually got the new UI on this OFD9 update.
You can't download a CE in the morning...
What's wrong with last's night's CE? It is faster than it's ever been and doesn't hang when you change channels like it was for me last week. Having clients will always suck, I wouldn't base a CE on that.
I've been running the CE firmware for the last 2 weeks. I moved to a new home a month ago. I just finished installing an OTA antenna in my attic. I'm getting a very good signal, to my TV so I decided to to reconnect my AM21. I got it all setup and connected the USB cable from the AM21 to my HR44. I can't seem to find any option for using or setting up my AM21 in the CE firmware is this the case. Could I setup the AM21 in the National release and then go back to the CE and still receive my Local OTA's?
