The new UI is nice from the looks of the screenshots. I tried to force an update yesterday and didn't get this update yet. I'm most intrigued by the Guide screenshot above which appears to show Grand Budapest Hotel on HBO in 4K on the normal HBO channel (501). Maybe that's a marketing thing only. Interested to see thoughts of others here.

You did also see the date of Thu 3/15, right? That is next year, 2018.

Mine DoD did that as well (HR54-500) after d/l'ing the latest CE "0x0FEB."

But it started working the next day ... May need to try a "clearmybox2" if the DoD outage persist ...

Looks clean and modern. These are just stills though. Do things slide or move smoothly like when selecting / paging through the entertainment extras app?

Hopefully they fix the bug I read about regarding recording on one vs all channels.

I’m not going to force it ahead of time. I’ll let the bugs get worked out and I’ll get it whenever I get it.

God help us.

The new interface is very broken. The app is a workaround for a fix so I don't know what you're talking about with the app...

I like the current interface, so didn't think it needed messed with. The mobile app on the other hand needs work. Will see how it goes

I like the new guide overall but one change I don't like is when you click other showings it now only shows the upcoming showings for that exact episode. Before it showed upcoming showings for all episodes.
