I've noticed with the latest update that the hard drive in my box spins down. The box is totally silent a short time after I turn it off and you can hear the hard drive start up when I turn the box on.

It used to do this all the time, one of the past updates did something that had the hard drive running almost constantly.

Thanks Jack, looks like I'm going to have to go with Stretch with the new HD menu.

There is no change with the DVR management, it's exactly the same on my box.

My box rebooted earlier, sometime around noon. I had a recording going and five minutes is missing.

Quote from: gparris;59793I  still use the # button to zoom, normal and stretch on the fly to get un-viewable parts of the screen, that is all I have to mention regarding that, but the upgrade is worth it-I don't watch any SD programming anymore.

The # button doesn't change the screen size for me, it used to.

After the update I'm unable to successfully schedule a new series recording. It's showing the program in the Series Manager but it's not scheduling any recordings.

Quote from: Jack 1000;59791No comments for any of the new 16x9 HD guide or new search/VOD screens even if they currently have been released to Wisconsin.  I do not have a qualifying box.

I have a Cisco 8640HDC box, the PIP is now closer to the corners of the screen, it used to be closer to the center of the screen. I see no difference with the search screens. The VOD screen is messed up, it's not in HD, so it's cut off on the sides. Maybe I need to change a setting somewhere.

I have it figured out but I'm hoping someone can help with a box setting. Under Picture Size, there are three options, Normal, Stretch and Zoom, I had it set to Normal and it was causing the problem I mentioned. Does that setting only apply to SD programming? It didn't seem to change the HD picture.

The HD guide is nice, but when watching SD programming the sides of the information banner and description are cut off and unreadable.

TWC subs are expected to receive a software update on the boxes sometime between mid next week and before the end of the month.  The update could happen Monday night into Tuesday morning between 12-5am.  FOR BEST RESULTS, USERS SHOULD NOT BE RECORDING OR WATCHING TV DURING THIS TIME.  

I hope they can give a little more accurate timeframe, I have recordings scheduled.

Quote from: Jack 1000;59696It seems that the only concern is the loss of Football.

That's the only thing that I'm irritated about.

TWC stopped the free Starz preview.

Quote from: Jack 1000;59635Maybe something's happening.  What does it say on your guide for channel 4?  Not HD 1004, which is gone from the guide, just SD channel 4?

There's nothing on the guide.

Quote from: Jack 1000;59633I also think that TWC replacing WTMJ-4 with GSN was underhanded.  

I'm not getting GSN where WTMJ-4 used to be, it's just a black screen.

I tried watching it on Telemundo, muting the tv and listening to WTMJ-AM 620. There was a ten sceond delay between the HD feed and the radio broadcast, it was unwatchable.

I DVR'd it from the NFL Network and watched it that way.

No increase here

If they pull the station, do you think we'll still have access to NBC shows On Demand?

It's not just you Jack, it's really slow for me also.
