Special One-Night CE for 9/15 -- No Weekend CE's

[jcrandall]

DirecTV is planning a special one-night CE Release for TONIGHT, from MIDNIGHT to 2:30am ET.

That's right, Thursday night (Friday Midnight) 9/15.

H21/H23/H24
HR21/HR22/R22/HR23/HR24

No release notes of yet, but hopefully this brings the HD-GUI to more models.

Sometimes it is good to live on the West Coast

I hope to try out the new HD-GUI on my HR22. I have been out of town for the last few CE releases.

You should be fine. The don't do anything to the DVR operation.

You think I should alert Engadget and put a link on the homepage?

I will be sleeping by then unfortunately... 5 am comes way to early around here.

Lol Scott. I will be sleeping as well most likely. A lot of the CE's been late too, like 15-25 mins. 12:25 is too late. I bet they are changing it up to prevent the leaked news about CE from causing as wide of an impact.

This version works well for me. No major issues.... Just no YouTube, less VOD and no media share.

DBStalk has the HR20 listed for the CE tonight.

DBStalk has the HR20 listed for the CE tonight.

Sorry about that, the H20 is not included. HR20 should be.

From what I've heard H20 does not have hardware that can handle the new UI.

Should I stay up late?? I got the new HD GUI when it was released 2 weeks ago will there be another improvements or just for other models?? I have the 24-200. I know the Apps still don't work for me and it says downloaded movies check back in a hour. And less VOD and no YouTube but everything else is okay.

Thanks,
Chris

Is the HR24-500 included this time?

 

[NutFlush920]

Count me in!

 

[espressoman]

Looks like I'll be staying up late and pulling a "Costanza" at work tomorrow (sleeping under my desk).

 

[NutFlush920]

Any word on what version number to watch for to make sure I'm downloading the correct CE build?

 

[dfergie]

Won't know the version till it's down loading ...

 

[NutFlush920]

I'm still in. Even on a work night. I'd assume Friday and Saturday will be canceled now
