Actually it was either the night before or sometime during the day yesterday. When I got home last night I had the new HD GUI on my HR24 and two H25s. Sorry for the confusion on that
Strange that none of you are having this issue. To make sure it wasn't my display, I hooked the HR24 up to a Samsung T260HD monitor off my PC... same problem. Bottom line, I have ruled out the boxes and the displays, so the only thing that changed between two days ago and now is the firmware. I am getting another HR24 tomorrow (I was already getting it before this issue), hopefully I can boot it without upgrading the firmware. If it does, is there a way to prevent firmware from being auto-updated?

There is no way to Not get the firmware once D* releases it Nationally and it has hit everyone.

I cut and pasted from an earlier post. It helped me
First read this so you understand how to get your receiver to download the new firmware: http://www.satelliteguys.us/directv-cutting-edge-ce-discussion-forum/149732-directv-cutting-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.
It may have been d/ling addl. software, seeing you did the initial download, I would,say Yes, this is normal.
Particularly if this is the first time for the New Gui on that recvr.
I believe many areas will not receive it until next year but someone here may know something different. Good luck on getting it soon.

I noticed this morning new " stuff " showing up on the info guide. So after you force the download neat stuff can show up a day or two later.
Has anyotne seen the icons when you push info, ones a tomato, popcorn bag and something that looks like a green snow flake, these are all followed by a percentage number. I have some clue what I think they are.
Does anyone know for sure ?

yeah, one is Rotten Tomatoes (tomato, green snowflake looking thing) ratings the other is Flixster ratings.
Any one know when cape coral or fort myers Florida gets the guide because the 6 and the 14 were the days florida were going to get it. We are south of Tampa and Orlando and north of fort laurderdale which was getting it on the 6th and Orlando got it this week thanks for any help.
