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

[whitewolf8214]

If anyone is keeping track latest CE is 0X1141, no changes from 1140 as far as I can tell, most backend I am guessing.

No changes I noticed either in 1141

There is a whole string of release notes. Looks like a couple of big bugs squashed

It's discussed all over the place, a google search would pull up the info. AT&T doesn't support the site or have any involvement, rather indirect from someone who works for AT&T which keeps the site alive. All one is really getting is information that a CE will be coming down and discussion around it. Idea is you see a problem you report it and the site moderators share with AT&T and or via the end user submitting the report from the menu when you enable that feature. Years ago when DTV management was at the helm I would say it was truly respected and looked upon for feedback. So it was used as testes for spotting issues or bugs to be reported. Not looking to give any trade secrets away as there are none to give but I only responded back with the search code because it's nothing secret that this point.

I do not know that any of them actually Do work for att ....

Looks like 0x1112 is in the stream this morning which is non CE. I actually moved off of 0X1141 (CE) for now for a few issues I was having.

My Guide shows a lot of "To Be Announced" on many channels. Is there something wrong

It can take up to 24 hours to repopulate the guide after a reset.

I'm running 1104 and it's laggy for me. If I hit the previous button to switch to another channel, it can sometimes take a minute or longer before the title info screen pops up. I received 1104 in early August so hopefully I get a new update soon that will fix this.

You could try a Clearmybox.

OR wait and see if we get a CE this weekend, seeing its Friday (in a few hours)

1143 tonight, dont see any changes, still hoping sometime they bring back the logos in the guide, i think they will sometime another

Too bad the guide doesn't actually let you "Watch now" on future programs. That would be an advantage to this interface. They didn't mention that you can't record from a specific channel anymore (series recordings automatically go to "all channels" and you can't change it either). Nor did they mention that the menu is now lots of scrolling to the right and feels like a poorly designed Netflix! They also didn't mention that you go from 4 default sort options to 2 in your Playlist. But, yes, there are channel logos in the guide and a bunch of new categories in the playlist...The new interface isn't horrible, it just isn't as great as they make it out to be!

I agree-it's awful!
if you're watching a show and you push search to search for future episodes it will only search for the same episode that you're already watching..!!

The orange line is gone on recorded shows and you can no longer bookmark your place

What I'd like to know is- I made the unfortunate choice to upgrade last week to an HR 44/500 I knew I'd have to get used to the new interface but seriously??

If I buy an old receiver from Best Buy will they be forced to downgrade me back to an old system I really hate this..
I have an old DVR downstairs with the old format but the search system is screwed up now just like the new one..

Whoever made this new interface should be fired immediately..

Haven't they heard the old adage that if it works don't fix it

to Satelliteguys Kalnory!

The post you quoted is a year old, lots has changed in the guide since then. You can't go to Best Buy and get Directv equipment any more.

Since my quoted post, the newest of the new CE software appears to get rid of the "All channels" situation. I am on 1143 software now, but starting just a few weeks ago, when you set up a new timer to record a series, it clearly displays "this channel only" or something to that effect on the screen, which is a nice change. If that bothers you, it will go away.

However, the orange line is gone. There is a lighter gray line in its place if you look closely. Very stupid. The bookmark feature has been gone on the newer receivers for a long time. It seems like such a basic feature but it went away. The search feature that you're talking about is useless - you're right. Why would I only want to search for only that one episode? It's so frustrating. These things will likely never change back. It has been this way for a while now. Now we have this annoying blue line in the guide, too, for no reason. Some seem to like it, but it is annoying me the longer it is there.
