Important notes regarding this version
This has been a very aggressive CE cycle. And with that, there was a sgnificatnly increased level of risk involved with previous versions. While the risk has been greatly minimized at this point, there still is a small risk.
There is LITTLE risk that your box will become a brick... and if you are having too many issues, role back to the national release version.
So please you must absolutely understand these risks, before forcing this download

Merged and left Jimbo's post as the first as he posted first
Thanks dfergie, I've never been able to post a Sticky thread before

0x01E4 coming tomorrow? Maybe Friday and Saturday. Doug Brotts site was accurate last weekend on 0x01E2 (Which was an internal test marked in Red on his site). I would post his site but it is blocked by SatelliteGuys.US.
What's funny is if JTN is using this as his alternate source for CE announcments. Doug is a moderator at dbstalk!
Doug has no issues with me personally. He doesn't agree completely with all the others at DBSTalk. That is why he has his own sites. And he doesn't have any bias.
