[rjruby]

Received S523 on my 2 HWSs last night.
Don't know yet what was changed/fixed/broken

When I turned on HWS this morning there was a pop up window that said Netflix is on channel 370. I checked the guide and channel 370 NETFLIX is there and also noticed BLOCKBUSTER@Home is on channel 375. In the Main Menu screen the Blockbuster icon is no longer there.

Got it on one of my Hoppers. Best I can tell is that they removed some of the apps and there are fewer
HD channels now.;>)

We have S520 and Netflix is on 370, has been since S520 came out (I think). Seems quicker to get to Netflix than blue button or menu.

Blockbuster @Home is on 375 with S520.

Don't get bluegras started!

Well, the remote control delay/freeze issue is still not fixed. Worked good all morning till just now. Nothing brings the Hopper out of the freeze up except wait a few minutes till it catches up. It is wired how when the Hopper is in the delay/freeze up mode if you press the Main Menu button twice to see the System Info screen, it says no remotes connected to the Hopper.

It's got a viewers choice option. The more you use certain apps, the more it removes apps that it thinks you don't use. That way it opens up more memory for storage for TV shows.

Do they ever come back? I noticed that the Disney apps are gone.

I heard it was the same way with the HD channels, if you don't watch enough of a particular channel the receiver will only pick up the SD only version.

 

[charlesrshell]

Are you kidding me?

Well, bluegras was asking about the "new perks" in the firmware

I heard that too. I already lost El Rey in HD, and Disney XDHD

Yeah, I lost MoreMax in HD, and TVLand, should have watched them more ;(

I don't consider this a feature certainly not a perk.

There are no words for those that may not understand what's going on. At least words that should be posted on a forum. The closest thing I got is HAHAHA!!!
