Don't feel bad - I figured I wouldn't get it until the end of the year. Albuquerque is the last place to get anything.

One of my SD-DVR40's got it Monday night out in Mundelein, so the Chicago DMA is getting it.. Then after telling it to restart it sat for 18 hours on the Tivo updating software screen. Gave it a power on reset and it started to do the install again, finished in about 30 min. So far so good, after the guide finished downloading/indexing the speed is 100% better!
I Know after I found the upgrade - I had problems getting into some menu's - I unplugged it and rebooted -- all seems to be fine now. Had to reset my channel lists etc. but the guide does load faster which is way cool
Is it??? Can it Be???
Weeee!!! My Directivo is currently updating it's software! I noticed that it called out today while we were out and that it was pending a re-start. I put that sucker in standby, pulled the plug (even waited the D* tech support recommended 30 seconds) and fired it back up. When I did it said on the tivo splash screens that it was getting new software from tivo. Shortly after, and new splash screen with the D* logo appeared and it told me that it was "Preparing for a software update" and that it could take up to an hour!
This must be it! :clap :clap :clap

Sorry, in Chicago DMA and one of my two updated on 5/23.
BTW, why did you go through putting it in standby and pulling the plug to restart vs. just going through the menus and telling it to restart?

I really don't have an answer for you on that one...lol. Just seemed like the thing to do.

No problem. I was just wondering if you knew something that being a better way to restart. Thanks
It has nothing to do with DMA, it's totally random but since we're here.....
I'm in the Chicago DMA as well. 2 of my 4 units received the update on 5/18 & 5/20 respectively. But nothing for my other 2 yet.
One of those that has not gotten it is also a DVR40 but I'm sure I've read posts by people who had DVR 40's or 80's and did get the update. It's just luck of the draw I guess. My DVR40 is the one I really want to get it since I added a drive to that one and it's REALLLLLLLLY slow.

Hmmm... Could it be going "model by model"? I have an old Hughes HDVR2. I think it was only the 2nd gen of the hughes D* tivo boxes?
Tried again for the update on my Huges SD DVR40.
My R10 didn't need it, but my Samsun SIR S4080R got it the update Wednesday.
