not for everyone!! see comments section here: http://bit.ly/tgDYJ or see my results here: http://twitgoo.com/4fdl2

some are only getting a partial recovery while others (like me!!) are getting NOTHING!!
Now that's what I call a PINK slip!! (sorry couldn't help myself) I hope this whole thing gets resovled soon
I just got it Monday night on my DVR, but got it on my plain Cable box a few weeks ago.

The biggest improvement is Caller ID on TV. This is wonderful. works great!! (plain and DVR)

Also a big add is Closed Captioning (my wife is hard of hearing) and we now can get captioning on our old set that does not have a built-in recorder. How they do this with a softwae upgrade, i don't know but they do. (only noticed it on DVR box)

TMC-On Demand is now FREE!! (don't know why - but not asking questions) (plain and DVR)

You can now set the program guide to show all of the favorite channels 1st, then all the non-favorites. This is EXCELLENT!!! Makes so much more sense

Now the noticable problems: (all DVR Only)
with the old system, you could search for a word from a title or a description and get a list of prgotrams AND could record and subscribe from this search. for Example: record everything with "Star Trek" in the title would result in subscriptions to all Star Trek series on any channel and any star trek movies; or record anything with "Bill Cosby" in the description which will get all Bill Cosby movies and TV shows.

This feature is no longer available!!

Multi-Channel subscriptions.(where you can record all episodes of "Friends" repeats regardless of what channel they are shown on)
You have to now program each channel separately!

this leads to another problem: When u end up with multiple copies of a program (each with a different channel) the list can't distinguish between the 2 and when you move prioirty order of 1, it moves the priority of whatever was entered first!!

I do agree with the earlier post-er that the picture seems a bit clearer than before (using a 15 year old Magnavox on my DVR) and a 5 year old RCA on my plain Cable Box

Just in time to order their CRAPPY new Pizza Mia pies!!
I had a Microvision!! I had several cartridges. My favorite was Bowling. It was pretty cool for its time.
Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.
"I own an iPhone 3G and I'm looking for a decent speaker / alarm clock for it. I am going to listen music in a mid-sized room, so I want nice quality speakers with solid bass. I also want to use it as an alarm clock, so it would be great if there is such a feature. The price can be low-mid to mid-high range. I was looking at the Klipsch iGroove SXT; it's powerful, slick and the reviews are good, but it doesn't have an alarm clock feature. It's no deal breaker if I can set it up from the iPhone, but I'm not sure. Thanks!"
