New Guide UI now rolling out (plus HDR support!)

[HoTat2]

Strange; ...

Had a service call today on an issue and during the call the tech. ran an IV retest on my Genie which for some reaaon really fouled up the new UI (0x1001). Most of the characters and graphics disappeared and reboots didn't restore them.

Had to revert back to the old guide 0x0D8F.

Tech. was a nice guy who even replaced my entire dish ODU that was beginning to rust, but still wasn't affecting reception. But don't understand how that IV retest he did screwed up the new UI like that ...

Oh well ... have to try to re-download it again later ...

I forget, do they send the new UI down in the early Saturday morning hours after the CE window closes or do I have to wait under early morning Monday now?

[JoshC]

I wish bold text...

You and me both, I'm legally blind, and I could see the old pretty well

So I've noticed ...

The logos really jump out at you now ...

Agreed, I like it

 

[ejb1980]

I like it in that you can actually read many of them now. I don't like that they are very distracting. I swear the font is different, too. And the channel number is a little smaller and name is a little bigger.

 

[JoshC]

The text does seem a little bigger, I just find that a nice bold white would be much better

Should they have updated it just like this guide?

So they’ve already released an update to 1003? Will this be something that just automatically downloads?

 

[Derek21023]

I'll be watching for 1003 tonight to download. I'd like to try it out.
