I got mine today and looked and i have the apps and they are working fine it appears.
I was surprised as we had a major lighting storm right as it was going online and lost signal for more than 30 minutes, it was flooding hard.
once it backed off things finished i got the guide up and didn't even think about apps. Just read this thread and looked and found them all there
but is this normal. All my icons on shows are the same thing. No thumbnail. I recorded a show to see if it added it after it was over and it's still the same thing. Am I missing something here ?
