Did the download last night. No real difference from the last download.Seems a little more stable changing channels. But thats all I can see.

I downloaded but havent tested. It got busy last night with the HR20-700 and spent the day today out with the family. Ah priorities.

Not much difference from last week's CE. The active weather has been fixed. You can now add additional cities and see the actual temperatures for the 5 day forecast.

The audio pause you hear going in and out of the guide menu on non-hd channels is still a problem.

There should be the one click access to guide... like on the HD DVR
a setting in the menu...

Are you listening Directv... Hello ?

I agree. One of the main reasons I avoid this unit in my arsenal. Hopefully they release this feature along with the White GUI sometime to CE this summer. Now that I will gleefully test.

Well I thought it was more stable,, But I was wrong. Still real jumpy changing channels.Always seems to skip a channel when surfing. So I'd have to say this download is No different then the last in my opinion.

Maybe but before I did any of these CE It changed channels a little slower but in never skipped a channel.I think they are tring to hard for channel surfing to be faster. But as I said no different then the last CE a couple of weeks ago.
