Awesome so there going to be up tonight!

All set, enjoy tonight. Hopefully this cleans up some of the bugs last week, setting a favorite list or resolutions is hard when the check boxes show up empty.

needs to stop locking up, i hope.. simple press of the blue button to browse takes 10 seconds, also FF'ing.

first timer here. i am looking forward to my first CE update. You can't win if you don't play! LETS DO THIS!~

Still the old one here

Give it awhile, I just tried my HR20 - 700, 4D9 still up ...

Taking a VERY long time to find the new software, hopefully it kicks in in a few.

Found the new one on the hr21 058d but still looking on the hr24s

Ok got em all in the new software had to reset and let it find the hr24 again. Ut it found it the 2nd time

Getting 058D now on the HR24-500

Getting 058D now on the HR22-100...

058D on my HR20 - 700 ...

Yeah Don,
IIRC you've had trouble getting the new software of late, partially from having to work ...

I think I'm gonna miss Leno tonight , unless this software finishes up in a hurry ....

Yeah it is taking awhile, I hope It comes up by 9:45 for SG1 ;) also not getting audio on the HR24 thru optical (not even a red light)...

Well my hr21 is working its awesome graphics looks more modern

I think I'm gonna miss Leno tonight , unless this software finishes up in a hurry ....

I think it's gonna make it in time for Leno at least here !

Finally getting step 2 of 2 with green bar moving on the HR20 ...

I feel better now, being back in the new HD Gui !

Well, you can set your Resolutions again.

am in process of download on my HR24 hope it works this time, not sure what to expect

woooo hooo success on my HR24-100 like the look cleaner and smoother looking... far better than the old blue and white, will dork with the features and see how they flow...

isn't there supposed to be channel logos?

isn't there supposed to be channel logos?

usually will take 24-48 hours in most cases.

isn't there supposed to be channel logos?Only in Channel Banner. And if this is your first DL of the HDGUI, it could take a day for them to show up.

I grabed the new ce lastnight around 11:30 pm on my h24-700, the new gui is awsome! Even the wife was impressed with the new look and she doesnt care about this stuff. Lol

Really don't get the big hang up over Channel Banners, don't you know what channel your looking at and what program your watching ?

No real hang up just am fan of the whole new guy interface thing.... And thus far have to stay am happy with new interface, find it far less clunky than previous version...

New guy here, I found this thread and updated my H24-200 last night to the 058D software. I figured I'd try this out on the receiver I don't use as much in case I messed something up. Well, everything looks great and I love the new interface and it's so much faster.

Now, is there any reason why I shouldn't update my HR22-100 tonight? This dvr has been so slow lately. Maybe this will help out a bit.

Keep an eye on the threads, but if there are no problems get it tonight, my HR20 is much faster even when I miss a CE or two...

I got the guide back this morning along with the channel logos. On both hr24s and the hr21

No channel banner logos yet...and no my directv suggestions....yet...HR22-100

If you start getting 771's? Shut OFF the new Power Saver feature.

No channel banner logos yet...and no my directv suggestions....yet...HR22-100Is this your First HDGUI install? If so, wait another 24-Hours. If this is NOT your First Install of a HDGUI, do a Dash Reset.

No its not...I actually skipped maybe one or two of the CE's?...not sure the one I was on?...I think it was 57?...but did the 58c...every since then like I said no channel banner logos or my directv suggestions...I will do a Dash reset...Thanks

Edit: I did the Dash Rest...I assume I will still have to wait 24-36 hours?...

I still don't have the My Directv and no logos either on my HR-24-200 like people said I guess have wait a day or two see what happens.

Edit: I did the Dash Rest...I assume I will still have to wait 24-36 hours?...They really should start appearing almost right after the Reset. Do you have 'em in QuickTune?

No...not in QuickTune either...

I did the dash too still nothing no logos in quick tune or my directv I did have them before last week CE.

As I did...so wonder what the deal is?...any suggestions?...

I guess have to wait don't know any other ideas now. Not a big thing but the logos were nice I didn't really use My Directv anyway.

Well there is the flushing the Guide data and having it start over.

Well there is the flushing the Guide data and having it start over.

So to flush the guide data you restart the receiver twice with and half and hour?...is that correct?...

Would it make any difference to D/L the update tonight again?...or can that even be done?...

Yep. You can do it quicker. Just make sure the First RBR is completed before you start the Second.

Or you can try your second suggestion, as that should also flush the Guide. At least it use too. I now notice my QuickTune Logos are there right after a new CE is installed. So I'm not so sure anymore.

Ok...I will try one or the other...or both...lol

I had the guide logos after last nights D/L...so...I don't know either...

Well you not the only that have lost 'em. But I think this non repopulating is bug if they're truly trying to store 'em somewhere instead redownloading them every time there is a software update. With HD being more graphic oriented this could become annoying issue for the average non-techie customer.

Oh wow came across this months ago but never had a chance till last night... The new CE HD is Amazing... Thank you all for all the contributions.. (HR24,HR21,H21) All done without any probs.

I download last night..but the new GUide no have logos lol.maybe download again tonight full?

H24 work on this? R22?

After a successful download on my H24 last night, I tried to force the download tonight in my HR22-100, but couldn't get the download to start. Tried every combination I could think of for pressing 02468. Slowly with long presses, or quickly. Nothing worked. Is there a different procedure for this dvr?

The first sign of the blue screen.

Yeah, I had a real pain with my H/HR21s - Did 4 & 6 RBR.

I have an HR22-100, and I had to do the 02468 as soon as the blue lights on the front of the unit came on. So, its before the unit displays anything on screen.

I've been able to do the forced download in the instructions but the last two nights, while trying to get the new GUI release, I've been unable to get the code to work on my receiver. Weird. Oh well, may try again next weekend :)

DO NOT WAIT on the first blue screen!!! Why O why do we have newbies come in and change what we have been instructing as far has the best how-to's from the get-go?


Do a reset. once the front panel lights go off be ready for them to come back on. Once you see the front panel lights come back on, then begin the sequence. DO NOT WAIT on the blue screens..


Too many cooks are spoiling the soup! Go to the stickied instructions and READ... None of us are 110% perfect subject matter experts regarding this stuff, but simply direct the users where to go and read the info as opposed to posting bad details.

The threads are getting clogged up up with FAQ Q&A again and inconsistent and incorrect info is being passed along, thus all the issues that aren't real issues .

DO NOT WAIT on the first blue screen!!! Why O why do we have newbies come in and change what we have been instructing as far has the best how-to's from the get-go?


Probably because this (below) is the sticky post that instructs how to force the download:


How to Download a CE Release

First, you will need to restart your receiver. There are multiple methods to accomplish this goal, but the preferred method is to use the menus.
To restart your receiver, you can do one of the following:

Using the remote control, select Menu -> Parental, Fav's, & Setup -> System Setup -> Reset, and then choose Restart Receiver. You will also need to press the DASH (-) key to confirm. This is the safest way to do a reset.
If the Menu reset fails, then try a Red Button Reset (RBR). Press the Red Button behind the access card door on the front right-side of the receiver.


After Reseting your receiver, you will start the download:

Once you have restarted your recorder, make sure you can access the receiver. In a few seconds, you will need to type in a special code to start the download process:
When the reset process starts, the LEDs on the front of the receiver will turn off, and the TV will go black.
Once the first blue screen is displayed on the TV, you can start keying in the special code.
Press 0 2 4 6 8. You will need to press the keys slowly and deliberately. An easy way to think of this is zero-one-thousand, two-one-thousand, four-one-thousand, six-one-thousand, eight-one-thousand. Make sure that you ONLY type in the 5 numbers and nothing else.
After a few more seconds, you should see a screen that indicates that the download process has started. If you get a screen that indicates the receiver is booting, and shows step 1 of 2, the download did not start. You may restart the receiver and try the download code again (you can restart by pressing the red reset button under the front-right access card door).
Now, just sit back and relax as the update process will take about 10 minutes to complete. It may appear to "stick" at several points along the download and rebooting afterward. This is normal. Do not reset the receiver unless it is stuck on the same screen/percentage for at least 10 minutes.
Note: Do not restart the system again after the download process is complete.
Remember - this process may take upwards of 15 minutes.


After the download is installed, your receiver will be doing several things after rebooting, including downloading guide data, VOD channels, rebuilding To-Do lists, etc. It is normal for your receiver to appear slugish for a while after installing software. You may also have timers that appear missing, etc. Do not worry, as the receiver rebuilds the data over the next few hours, your timers will come back.

It is considered a best practice to download the software at the end of your viewing day, and not "work-out" the new software until the following morning.

Remember - the software download window is generally Friday & Saturday nights, from 11pm - 2:30am ET. This day/time window is occassionally changed, so always check the notes for the exact window.

that was changed once before I thought to reflect best methods; but there are at least 100 posts saying not to wait. sent PM to admin see about the sticky edit.. but trust the posts saying to NOT WAIT.. that is the most successful method. thanks for pointing out the sticky still says to wait.

Edited 3. in the instructions to reflect the best way...

I would hope your tirade wasn't directed at me. I entered the code from the time the blue lights showed up to the first couple of screens. I got it to work before but for some reason not this time. No big deal I'll do it again another time.

nope, I quote when specifically directed

I have the HR23-700 and uploaded Ox58d both Friday night and Saturday night.

1) The channel icons still do not appear on either upload. I have also rebooted twice.

2) When recording a on-demand show, the reciever is very sluggish when bringing up the guide or moving around the menus when the recording is taking place. The other issue is a major one, the issue is when recording a on-demand show, pressing "list" tries to go to the list screen, tries to load the list and shows what you are watching in the upper left, but this screen gets stuck. There are no keystrokes to get out. I tried ESC, menu, guide, etc, but the screen is stuck (the on-demand is still loading). I can see the ethernet lights on my router working the download. It appears the list screen is waiting for the download to finish. The only way to "unfreeze" the guide is to reset (reboot) the HR23-700. I have tried this twice with the same result.

it works just fine not waiting; I have a HR20 and H21 and can tell you for 110% sure.

it works just fine not waiting; I have a HR20 and H21 and can tell you for 110% sure.Since switching to HDGUI, I can't get the 0-2-4-6-8 to work at the start of the blue light on my H/HR21s. But the blue screen right after a RBR is almost perfect. And that was working well until this last CE. So it would be back to drawing board. But . . .

I'm getting a HR34. When it arrives, I'll be retiring almost all of my H/HR21s. The only one left will be left on NR. So my 0-2-4-6-8 timing nightmare events are hopefully over.

I did my first download of the HDGUI (058d) on Friday night on both of my HR24-200s. Download went smooth, Guide looks great!

I noticed an interesting "issue" yesterday and today with the paused Program screensaver. I can repeat the issue as explained below.

Normally, there is a 3D DirecTV "Ball" or logo that floats around on the screen saver if you are paused on a Sat channel for an extended time. (This is a great feature, especially for my plasma!)

If you tune to one of the Sonic Music channels, after a short period you will get a screen saver with a floating "box" with Song Title, Artist, and Album.

Now, change to a Sat channel and press pause. After a short time, you get the screen saver, but Now it has the information from the Sonic Music channel you were last on.

The only way I have found to get back to the 3D DirecTV "Ball" is to Reset.

If it helps I ran a report, 20111204-9F5

This was my first weekend with a CE also, got it mostly 'cause I wanted to see and play with the HDGUI. The install was fine, and after a couple of lockups and a couple reboots, things looked OK. But a few hours later, no filling of the cache, so I did the double reset and cleared the cache. Things started filling in after that quite nicely.

But it is twitchy, doing a VOD can cause it to lock up. I don't mean quit working, but no response to remote or front panel while it merrily goes on its way. And because of that, the overall twitchiness of the CE and not being all that enamored of the HDGUI, I just shifted back to the NR. I'll just wait my turn in the very, very, very slow rollout of the HDGUI via NR.

Same here...I tried flushing the cache still no banner icons or my directv...

This is not final version F/W; not sure but maybe being BETA F/W they took these items out for now?

HR24 with newest CE has channel logos.

Downloaded the CE Saturday and the download went well, did reset the receiver this morning due to the receiver being painfully slow but after resetting it seems to be flying along now and NOT taking 5 secs or more to go to the guide or exit the guide. Did notice that they put on Energy Saver where if you are on the channel for more then a couple hours it asks if you want to have the receiver turn off, simple setting to turn it off, so that message doesn't appear. Like the new look and will be keeping the CE software till the NR is issued. Thanks for posting abut this program and how to dl the software.

Anyone else having issues with the Apps not coming back?

Anyone else having issues with the Apps not coming back?

Just checked, mine are there. :)

As for those talking about the Channel Logos and whatnot.

I have Program Banners now(today), but don't know if I have ever seen a Channel Logo anywhere.

Mine still haven't shown up on quick tune on either dvr (logos) ...

When I got 0575 a while back, my HR24 got logos pretty quick, but even after weeks, my H24 never did. I upgraded the H24 to 058C and then to 058D -- no logos. I've never had logos on my H24 with the HD GUI. Lucky I don't use this TV as much so I've just accepted it.
