New Theme + Improvements to the Navigator.

[The Insider]

A new improved layout is coming if you have not already got it. Its much better easier on the eyes and not nearly as plain. Also a few new features, ill play with them and see how well they work.

[JonOrlando]

Yeah, got the new layout last night at 2am. Was watching a great movie and bam...box was off for about 15 minutes.

I like the new look, however, I really havent seen much more than that. What are they?

details?

And what is the rollout schedule by area/box-type?

[JonOrlando]

details?

The guide now has a different color scheme...dark blue backgroun listing the programs, on the left listing the channels is in an almost black background and the words and times are in a bold white...the details of the show is listed in light blue...and the cursor is a highlighted yellow.

The "list" feature has the same color scheme.

The only additions that I've noticed, which may have already been there, on the recorded programs, you have arrows advising what you can do, when you are selecting play, delete, etc.

I've also notices a slight improvement in response time changing channels and when fast forwarding/reversing the shows.

Is there a way to force the update? Mine doesn't seem to update anymore. =/

[JonOrlando]

Not sure if that can be done. Maybe call BHN and ask when you are scheduled for the update?

Regardless, I would make sure you inform them that your box seems not to be updating and its causing some issues.

[Saxamoophone]

Yeah, I think I'll just take it back to one of the BHN Centers and swap it out. I have had the new Navigator for over a year (back when it was in the VERY early and nasty stages), but when everyone else got the Navigator roll out, mine stoped updating ( I noticed a slight GUI difference, and features missing on mine).

I'm just wondering if there's a super secret admin option to flush the OS and download a new one from the servers =p

And what is the rollout schedule by area/box-type?

I'm in Brevard, and got the new user interface--probably Weds night 2-18, or early Thurs.

I find the text much easier to read, but somehow, picture seems (subjective) not as clear. Color is fine, but seems to have lost a bit of sharpness/clarity.

Is there a list of all the changes somewhere?

[JonOrlando]

I'm not sure, however, I read from
Bright House Networks Launches New On-Screen Guide that Helps Customers Navigate Cable Programming Easier, More Efficiently

, that a feature called Quick Clips is coming. I don't think we have that now. The article is based on another bright house market.
