Rumor Alert: New HDGUI Coming to CE

[Jimbo]

An HD Gui, would that be listed in the New features, it's NOT a feature.... I suppose it would be listed under Improved though !

You could call it a new feature, or an improvement.

Most likely, however, is that they won't mention it at all to not drive huge participation from the gate, a practice they have used several times. Also possible is a keyword hidden feature, much like the youtube testing, though this may not be possible for something as large as the user interface.

I wondered about that too.....

Too many people come and get the CE ONLY for the NEW stuff ...

Matt, you talking about a long download or a long time to FIND the software ?

 

[jcrandall]

My H24 is up with 04C0 and no sign of new interface.

Four months to October.

 

[jcrandall]

No change on HR24 either. Perhaps in a few weeks

 

[JerseyMatt]

Wonk wonk, no joy..

Jimbo I was talking about the actual download. I've never had it take more than a few seconds to actually find the new SW, but it took over 10 minutes to do the actual download/install this time, which is longer than it usually takes for a given update.

I've got to where I wait at least 10 minutes past the hour before trying to dl... last night I was a little over an hour late starting the dl.

 

[Jimbo]

I have been waiting till 5 after the hour, but may start waiting a little longer... it could be that they are not implementing it into the stream right away.

How do you do a manual software update on the DirecTv receivers? I have 4 HR24/100 and 1 regular HD receiver.

Cool. Will be nice looking at the hd guide on my 106" screen.

To clarify jimbos response, reset Ur receiver, either red button, or via the menu, and when the screen reads hello....... Hit 0 2 4 6 8, and make sure to finish before you see the almost there...

However if you read the sticky how too reguarding ce releases you would know this

I have tried several times to get my HR24-100 do force a software and no luck. As soon as I reset the receiver I see the Hello screen and I start hitting 0 2 4 6 8 and it does not go to the download. The hello screen comes and goes to quick. Is the 0x4a7 the latest software?

you need to start the 0 2 4 6 8 sequence right when the blue light on the receiver face come back, not once a screen pops up
