Are the full release notes available anywhere? Anyone have running list of the supposed 200 fixes? Thanks! |

| I've been trying to get that list for months, it seems to be locked up like it's some top secret formula. I don't know why the fixes are kept a secret. Wouldn't they want us to know what was fixed?
This is what I know (fixes, not new features):
VOD scrolling & latency
clock time fix
no more info bar popping up on SD boxes
cast info back
4 digit last channel recall now works
green line issue
Now should I list the things it broke?
weather widgets don't wrap around anymore
clock display goes out for 2 seconds when you turn off the box
volume bar comes up when turning on the box
Oh and yes, SD quality gone |

I do not have 1.6 yet, so I cannot verify. |

So no release notes huh? Maybe if I contact Verizon directly they would give it up? And the SD PQ issue has it's own post devoted to the whole issue. |

Maybe just not a big enough degradation for me to notice right now. Since we got FiOS the local SD's have always looked bad due to the lower bandwith being allotted to them.
I believe the max band with the SD's locals can use is 4mpbs. |

Maybe just not a big enough degradation for me to notice right now. The music channel video is sent out at a really coarse pixel count (320 x 240 or something close?). I did know exactly what it was but have forgotten since. When I had the freebie Viewsonic HDTV connected directly to the coax, hitting the info button on the remote would show the video format information.
With 1.5, I've only noticed poor SD quality on some channels (WGN is definitely one of them). I remember that it had a coarser pixel count than other channels, e.g. local or most national SD's.
I think we're supposed to get 1.6 overnight here in VHO8 so I will definitely check general SD quality out tomorrow.

Actually, I am involved in the Media Center video streaming Beta trial and there was a block on my account. It should have been removed for the update, but wasn't, so I did not receive the update, and haven't yet. Not a big deal, nothing in 1.6 that I was screaming for!!! |

And when you open up a folder, you can simply move right, ie. you don't have to press Enter to open up a folder underneath, eg. HBO/Series/Sopranos. |

I did a direct screen cap of a Music Choice and Urge channel.
Music Choice was 704X480 while Urge was 352X480.
That would explain why Urge looks worse then Music Choice.

At least you can READ the text on the Urge channel. |
