New HD GUI

[Tom Bombadil]

About half of my clock rolls off the top of my screen. It is fine left to right.

My set has about a 3%-4% overscan, which has never really been an issue. I think of it as being a 49" inch image displayed within a 47" window. For the most part, there is almost never anything of any importance on that thin outer edge.

Everything else on the UI fits easily onto the screen. The "live" image playing in the upper left corner has about 3/4" of "black space" above it.

so as a comparison, on my 96" and 106" the live window has about 2 in above.

Still no Pandora, any suggestions?

Patience, takes time to pop in.

Did you do the IAMANEDGECUTTER ?

I don't think Pandora is a part of the national release. I'm going back to the CE tomorrow so I can get back the version of the fast forward bar that doesn't cover up all of the bottom of the screen. I thought the national release would be alot newer than this.

I did that. All I got was the Misc. options selection back.

Just noticed that I can see more of the clock at some times and less at others. This is because this set employs a feature named "Image Shift" which slightly moves the image around, to prevent CRT screen burn in. I've never noticed it having an affect before, in the nearly 7 years that I've owned it. But I can see it now, for how much of the digital clock is shown on the screen varies. I've seen as much as 2/3rds of the clock on screen, which is enough to tell what time it is. But then other times it is more like 1/3rd, too little to discern the time.

The anti-burn in does seem to work. I estimate the set has about 11,000 hours on it, having watched a lot of 4:3 and 2.35:1 in native modes and with all of the channels that use on-screen logos and tickers, and there is not the slightest evidence of burn-in.

I am shocked at how much faster it is. My HR21-100 has always been slow and I thought it always would be.

Bingo. The main reason I've been trying to get this thing for weeks. Rather than sit up and wait for the Friday/Saturday night downloads, firmware watcher said it's in the streams early A.M. when I'm up anyway. 057B is downloading and my receiver is booting up now. DC got pushed off another 2 weeks so couldn't take it any longer. We'll see how it goes.

I'm in Savannah and didn't get it today either (2 HR24s and 1 H24). Hoping they push it tonight.

Ok, as of this morning, still no new GUI. Maybe it'll show up next week...

Got the new guide yesterday it looks great and it seems faster as well..

 

[Mr Tony]

I like the speed of the guide. Makes the R22 very speedy

Here's the latest list from some other site. It's a downloadable Excel file.

I doubt its private so I U/L it here. No need for anyone to have to go to another site.

Savannah looks like it got bumped to the 17th.

Yeah, just saw the new spreadsheet. I've waited this long, I can wait another 4 days or so.

I'm liking the new GUI, just got home so it updated it over the time I was away.
