Since switching to HDGUI, I can't get the 0-2-4-6-8 to work at the start of the blue light on my H/HR21s. But the blue screen right after a RBR is almost perfect. And that was working well until this last CE. So it would be back to drawing board. But . . .
I'm getting a HR34. When it arrives, I'll be retiring almost all of my H/HR21s. The only one left will be left on NR. So my 0-2-4-6-8 timing nightmare events are hopefully over.
I did my first download of the HDGUI (058d) on Friday night on both of my HR24-200s. Download went smooth, Guide looks great!
I noticed an interesting "issue" yesterday and today with the paused Program screensaver. I can repeat the issue as explained below.
Normally, there is a 3D DirecTV "Ball" or logo that floats around on the screen saver if you are paused on a Sat channel for an extended time. (This is a great feature, especially for my plasma!)
If you tune to one of the Sonic Music channels, after a short period you will get a screen saver with a floating "box" with Song Title, Artist, and Album.
Now, change to a Sat channel and press pause. After a short time, you get the screen saver, but Now it has the information from the Sonic Music channel you were last on.
The only way I have found to get back to the 3D DirecTV "Ball" is to Reset.
If it helps I ran a report, 20111204-9F5

This was my first weekend with a CE also, got it mostly 'cause I wanted to see and play with the HDGUI. The install was fine, and after a couple of lockups and a couple reboots, things looked OK. But a few hours later, no filling of the cache, so I did the double reset and cleared the cache. Things started filling in after that quite nicely.
But it is twitchy, doing a VOD can cause it to lock up. I don't mean quit working, but no response to remote or front panel while it merrily goes on its way. And because of that, the overall twitchiness of the CE and not being all that enamored of the HDGUI, I just shifted back to the NR. I'll just wait my turn in the very, very, very slow rollout of the HDGUI via NR.

Ok

You do WHAT ?
WHY would you want to do that ?
WHY would you direct the member to a DIFFERENT website ?
Andrew, you can post it right where you are with the same info ....
D* will see it here just as well.
No reason to send people to a different site, DIRECTV reads here as well.
Further comments to go to another site to report DIRECTV issues will be removed as spam.

This is not final version F/W; not sure but maybe being BETA F/W they took these items out for now?
Downloaded the CE Saturday and the download went well, did reset the receiver this morning due to the receiver being painfully slow but after resetting it seems to be flying along now and NOT taking 5 secs or more to go to the guide or exit the guide. Did notice that they put on Energy Saver where if you are on the channel for more then a couple hours it asks if you want to have the receiver turn off, simple setting to turn it off, so that message doesn't appear. Like the new look and will be keeping the CE software till the NR is issued. Thanks for posting abut this program and how to dl the software.
Just checked, mine are there.
As for those talking about the Channel Logos and whatnot.
I have Program Banners now(today), but don't know if I have ever seen a Channel Logo anywhere.
When I got 0575 a while back, my HR24 got logos pretty quick, but even after weeks, my H24 never did. I upgraded the H24 to 058C and then to 058D -- no logos. I've never had logos on my H24 with the HD GUI. Lucky I don't use this TV as much so I've just accepted it.
