New HD GUI

[Mr Tony]

but people still do it

 

[Jimbo]

my guide is really fast but out of guide when changing channels still kinda slow

Channel changing speed has a lot to do with your selection for using Native or not in the Menu's.

It can be either way, change it and see if you like it better.

Great, you'll regret doing that ....

Now anytime they have a question or issue, they'll be calling you !

No, I don't regret it. He's been with D* since 06. He has not had issues with his service. The only times he has called D* was to upgrade his system, replace a remote and add or remove channels.

The only questions he has asked me regarding D* were "what channel is the ppv boxing on?"

Dirextv started the rollout of the HD GUI to some customers and have their website updated with it. At that point, talking about it or even calling in a question about it is not a big deal. Directv CSRs should be familiar with it at this point.

What's faster, native on or native off? I'm not sure what mine is set at, but it takes 6 seconds to change a channel now with software version 0x576 on a HR24-500.

I prefer native off

I don't think I have the new HD EPG yet. Our HD recevers are H23/600 and H21.

 

[charper1]

It will look like this if you do; its easy to see the diff..

You'll know, is your menus and guide Blue or Black ?

 

[shkarter1985]

I've checked on my reciever. It's still blue.

This new GUI looks looks and performs great. It is so much better then what we did have.

I also have Xfinity and it doesnt even compare to their new guide. Is is about 10 steps backwards!

Great job DirecTV!

last night I downloaded the new CE on my Living room R22 (which had an older CE on it) and it was weird. Rebooted it and lost all my locals in the guide. Then a minute later one popped up. Had to do a reauth online to get the rest back...

Your saying you haven't got it thru the Staggered rollout or that you can't get it thru the CE ?
