I can’t believe why people are so fascinated by this new GUI which adds nothing to its content, no substance with just more glitters. Instead of spending money on these B.S. glitters DTV should start spending more on substance like providing decent mainstream HD channels to their disappointed subscribers.
Where are the BBC-HD, Cooking-HD, DIY-HD, E!-HD, HLN-HD, ID-HD, LMN-HD, NatGeo_Wild-HD, TCM-HD, FMC-HD, etc. It seems to me DTV is just using U.S. subscribers to subsidize their Latin America operation, which to me it’s just another corporate B.S.
Last I heard DTV stock has taken a big hit with most analysts downgraded them (well-deserved), meaning earnings are about to get hit hard and it's about time.

I'm in Chicago, where do I find the list that says when we are getting it. I'm using a CE right now. Should I revert to the NR?

why would discussion this? we don't know when more HD are being added, and we know the is HD GUI is coming out day-by-day
If you are using a CE currently it wont override that. You would have to revert back to the national release (04D1) and then wait a day or so for it to update
I'm in Savannah and didn't get it today either (2 HR24s and 1 H24). Hoping they push it tonight.
do a reboot (red button on front of receiver or in the menus it says restart receiver)
as soon as the lights come back on the receiver (nothing may be on the TV yet) press

in that order
It will say "just a few more minutes" then go to a "searching for software" screen. It may take 5 minutes to grab the old SD software but it will grab it, download, then reboot.
If your city already got the new software it should reload the HD GUI tonight then

It showed up in south central Wisconsin last night, interrupting a movie I was watching that had been paused for an hour, and I lost all of that.
I am shocked at how much faster it is. My HR21-100 has always been slow and I thought it always would be.
That's the only real benefit that I've noticed. Yes, the new UI is cleaner, but I haven't noticed that it offers anything that I didn't have before.
I can't tell what time it is by looking at the guide screen. They moved the clock well up into the upper right corner and my TV's overscan obscures so much of it that I can't see the time. This is a real pain because I've always used that clock to see how far into the half-hour it is, with regards to the programs shown in the guide.

Can you make the Overscan adjustment in your TV, some can, others not, mine can.
No, I cannot change it without going deep into the technical service menus and hoping that I adjust it correctly, without screwing up any other parameters. I have a 3-gun rear projection CRT and I would have to hope that I would not screw up my alignment.
This is aggravating for there is no reason for them to have moved that clock so far up into the corner. There are several inches of open space below it.
