I wonder if the guide is fixed on the HR24 and will not break on this one?

[Iceberg]

I hope it is. I dont like having to reboot it every other day due to that guide issue (this is on the R22)

[Jimbo]

What trouble is happening with the HR24's guide ?

Never mind, I remember, just haven't had it happen is all ...

[jwil1968]

I have a question, probably a dumb one, but here goes. How can I get the HR24-500 HD GUI back? I had it, and somehow I got reverted back to the old Blue GUI don't know what happened. Any help would be appreciated.

You just need to reload the CE tonight during the download window following the instructions in the FAQ.


Edit: I guess I was beaten to the punch.

So, would I be correct to say NO MORE updates for the H20-100s?

Probably not, I haven't paid alot of attention to the non DVR CE's, but don't remember seeing on in quite awhile.
