New HD GUI

[kattheaunt]

They sent me an email explaining that it had been downloaded. Guess they don't want people freaking out about how different it is.

I snatched it from the stream this morning at 6:40am eastern time. It definitely looks sharp, I'll thoroughly check it out later when i get a chance.

How do you snatch it from ' the stream'

I received the HD guide on my H25s this morning but not on my HR34. I know it's not scheduled to get it now, but does anyone know a release schedule for the HR34?

I do not think it is quite even at the CE level for the HR34 yet. Maybe since there are more 34 series receivers in the field now they will begin to test it at the CE level.

You need to know when it is being downloaded to specific areas and grab it then. Directv isn't sending it to everyone all at once to avoid any potential issues from being overwhelming. If others are getting it, you can too by rebooting your box and entering 0 2 4 6 8 as soon as the blue front panel lights come on. Do a search on this site for Directv firmware watcher.

I've already got it thru the CE, but have friends that are waiting on it.

They must be going by DMA cause everyone I know in the Charlotte area got it yesterday early morning.

In addition to the slick new GUI, I seem to notice the Directv subtitle font is different and easier to read on some channels.

First read this so you understand how to get your receiver to download the new firmware: http://www.satelliteguys.us/directv...tting-edge-program-terms-faq.html#post1532030

Second, you need to check here: DirecTV Firmware Watcher to see if the correct Firmware is in the stream for your receiver, it should be either 057b or 047b. Over the last week I noticed it's usually in the stream between 3-4am pacific time.

Orlando area? I got it for my boxes as well (except my HR34).

So, they have 210 DMA's to go thru... wish they would just tell us that !

Has anyone in the Tampa FL area recieved the new GUI?

I just forced the download at 6:10 eastern time this morning. So far I really like it. My H23-600 is so much quicker. The PIP is on the left when I bring up my guide, it used to be on the right. That will take a little getting used to but no big deal.

 

[gigahurtz]

You were slated to receive it today (12/15).

I got it on one HR24 last night. It is easier to read, but not really any faster. Still an improvement.
