Thanks for the reply
I'll get back here when I get it installed and give my review.

Thanks again....

I still haven't gotten it yet.

I guess it would be OK as long as D* upgraded all of my OLD (hr20/21) receivers to equipment that functions properly with the new release. It seems that the response times have become linger and longer. It currently takes 5-7 seconds to bring up the guide.

I got it now. And I don't like the bar at the bottom when I fast forward. The shadow takes up too much space.

the latest CE software resolved that. looks real clean and sharp now.

I have a 1080i CRT in my spare room and a Hitachi 1080i plasma (HDMI) in my theater that's a few years old. At the time, I figured that since broadcast was 720p or 1080i, I'd save a few hundred bux and go with the 1080i instead of 1080P. I will upgrade when it's feasible, but, until then...

On 3 HD sets in the house, a 57" CRT 720P, a 27" LCD 720P and a 27" LCD 1080P. All is good. I voted "like" thinking of the 57" set but given the opportunity I would have voted the same way for all the sets.

The guide was also fine before.

I just started D* a week ago, hadn't had it for over 4 years and the new GUI is a vast improvement over the last I remember. Still a notch below Dish but very close. Couple of things I'd like to see are more favorite list options and for the "Channels I get" it would make more sense to only list the channels we actually subscribe to than to list anything we could possibly subscribe to. It's really not much different than the All Channels list.
