I also downloaded 1036 to my HR44 this morning and noticed that in the menus I can get out of "what's on now" faster and start down to "settings". There had been considerable lag before.
Was it still in the stream this morning? I don't see it but have awful problems with 1001 and would love to try 1036

It was here between about 2 to 4 AM PST.

So force d/l'ed 0x1036 to my HR54.

As others have said, UI appears faster and more responsive so far.

And for once this update didn't knockout the station logos and VOD like the other versions of firmware updates to the new UI usually do.

It’s usually in the stream from 3-7am est and Go here Redh Firmware Watcher DirecTV Firmware Watcher to see if it’s in the stream during those times
Yeah, but for some reason it didn't show up in the stream until about 2:00 AM PST, at least according to the FW Watcher.

Then reverted to the old UI version 0x0D8F around 4:00 AM PST, for only about a 2 hr. window.

Strange ...

I had the 1003 until last Friday, I thought it was causing an issue, and went back to the old, but it wasn’t the cause of the issue, and i got that resolved. I really like the newest version for the HR54-700, and was not laggy at all, and seemed easier to read than previous versions. They still have the old version up right now, hopefully Friday night they put the newest again.

If you check 3am-7am EST you might get to catch 1036

Waited 48 hrs after doing a CLEARMYBOX and still never got the logos back on 1001. I just went back to the old software by forcing it. See if the channel logos come back. Going to try and get 1006 or 1036 tomorrow morning if it shows up.

Same here but it appears times and or days are changing for the CE release window as 1003 was up till 7 AM ET. 1036 is not tagged as CE but more of an unknown release since it's outside of the CE window. Who knows, but it works fine, nothing new from 1003 that I can see. There is risk in downloading unknown stuff but that's up to the individual. I can say 1001 was a disaster so I welcomed 1003 with open arms, just now waiting for the North America rollout version and will stick with that for a while until something is improved if that version is working without issues. If something comes out like a better GUI I am there but I don't want to go backwards with new issues.
