Orlando, FL - BHN - Page 517

post #15481 of 16501
A STB update screen popped up right before it rebooted.

Hopefully, I am getting the update right now.

Update: Got it after 8 mins.

Color is hard on the eyes and Fox Sports Logos are still not updated.

Will see how it goes.

Looks like I got updated as well.

Now at:

ODN Version: 5.2.0_9 2012/07/12 09:41
post #15483 of 16501
No notice today. It will probably come on Friday but will check tomorrow (Thursday) anyway. I am expecting the national versions of those TWC SportsNets with Pac 12 regional HD channels, Sundance HD or possibly HD Shopping Channels being possibilities. It would be nice if we got a bigger update to clean up what's left on the carriage deals and Gary has hinted at an exciting quarter but did say it might not even be HD channels.

On that other Direct TV forum, I saw this list of how much HD they have gotten this year and despite their recent spike in HD, we get almost 3 new HD channels for every one they get.

I also got the update.
post #15485 of 16501
If this new update is evidenced by the black motif guide, then mine occurred early last Sunday. Can't say that I've noticed any improved (vs different) features or performance yet.

My Cisco 8742HDC, while already relatively fast, feels faster after the update.

This is mainly a bug fix / performance enhance release with a new GUI color scheme. One new feature is semi-hidden. Like press Guide twice to get to the Guide Filters (All, HD only, On Demand, Favorites)

Woke up and noticed the new gui and I like it....It is more refined and it works smoother and looks great...

Now we just need a more modern BHN remote control,even though I use a Harmony it would be nice they updated that for everyone.smile.gif
post #15490 of 16501
Looks like my modem IP address changed as well to a completely different dot quad than before. Maybe part of their move away from the Road Runner brand.
post #15491 of 16501
My Cisco Explorer 8640HDC now has simultaneous HDMI and component out. I can finally hookup my Vulkano to component out and keep my TV HDMI connection. All of this happened after the guide upgrade.
post #15492 of 16501
I take back my statement that I don't like it smile.gif. I do wish it wasn't so dark though. Those of you that have DVR's is there any improvements speed/recording wise or any glitches? I am thinking of getting one again so i figured I better ask beforehand.
post #15493 of 16501
iceturkee: I forgot that one. Everyone still would pick BHN in this thread.

mgsports: Got ya.

Everyone: The guide is faster in terms of loading OD stuff. I would change the color though not ust for the eyes but for how some of the logos look and get rid of the double screen.
post #15494 of 16501
It looks like 1139 Sports Pass OD (Formerly BTN HD OD) is SD-Only.

I'll be removing it from the chart when we get our next notice Thursday or Friday.

they have HD programs mixed in there so I would say don't remove it just yet. I know TWC here has SD and HD programs in the sports pass on demand which only has:

Outdoor Channel On Demand (do you have this in Orlando?)
BTN On Demand SD/HD mixed together
PAC12 Network is MIA????

Kevin,

I know they mix them in but did not see any. It's also listed as Sports Pass OD instead of Sports Pass HD OD. I might keep it as disputed. Also, I believe we have Outdoor Channel OD elsewhere around On Demand and they might just move it there.

The only OD area in the SD section with HD mixed in is Spike TV. I know TWC has all the HD mixed in now thoughj.

As for the additions, here is hoping for a big end of the year update.

For us, they could add the TWC SportsNets Nationals (Bakersfield is getting them locally via their Channel Lineup on Website), The 6 Pac 12 regional HD's, Sundance HD, Shopping HD and maybe even a new channel like RFD-TV HD, Halogen HD or Nuvo TV HD. They have the ablity to do a pretty good sized update even without a new Starz deal.

I'll post the notice as soon as I get it Thursday or Friday.

Thanks Kevin,
I'll see if my 8642 is performing faster. I'll also record tomorrow night's NFL game and at around the 90 minute point I'll check to see if I can easily fast forward the ongoing recording from the beginning. Sometimes the FF works OK in this situation, but most of the time it's a total pain. (re: post #14828)
post #15499 of 16501
I got the updated guide this AM. For some reason, it changed my setting to "ZOOM", I could not see the top, bottom and half the sides were missing:eek: Checked the settings, it still said normal, but cycled thru them and back to normal. Ok now normal view. Not used to the black background. New message when I did a cold boot something like "Your Tv will be on line shortly...:
post #15500 of 16501
So already, DVR didn't record Survivor due to an unresolved conflict. There was only one other recording at the time, so what the?
post #15501 of 16501
For some reason ESPNHD, ESPN2HD and MLBHD are showing as Not available. NFL Network just fine. Actually MLB is gone from SD as well.

Nevermind the channels are there it's just the guide saying Not Avaliable.
post #15503 of 16501
Same with TBS HD here. Channel is there but guide says Not Available.
post #15504 of 16501
As expected, no notice this morning.

We will get it Tomorrow (Friday).
