The year for movies are back. As of today 7/2. The year is now before the description of the movie. You won't even need to press info to see it in the guide.

The original air date is also where it used to be.

BTW I got the update on 7/1.
Yep, same here. I just turned on the TV, and the year for movies are back. :D]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,22646554 Thu, 02 Jul 2009 18:03:08 EDT Re: years GONE from movie channels' information http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,22645723 btaylor1 : the *** still appears, but otherwise confirmed here in dallas too. thx at&t for bringing back dates!]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,22645723 Thu, 02 Jul 2009 15:17:02 EDT Re: years GONE from movie channels' information http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,22644335 theglaeb : The year for movies are back.

issue remains: no years information (and garbled ** etc.) in live movies' information
I don't have the update for THDVR yet in the Cleveland area so it still shows the year information. We'll see what happens after the update, but it does look like everyone who received the update is having problems with some guide information]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,22643820 Thu, 02 Jul 2009 09:11:10 EDT Re: years GONE from movie channels' information http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,22643564 btaylor1 : dunno. in any event, i never expected resetting set top boxes to fix anything. i think at&t's gurus have to correct the problem instead and i wish someone inside would own up to the problem and advise they're working on a fix]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,22643564 Thu, 02 Jul 2009 07:35:19 EDT Re: years GONE from movie channels' information http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,22643552 schja01 : Was the "year" info ever available on the U-Verse online (web) Guide? If it was, it isn't any more and rebooting your set top boxes until the cows come home isn't going to fix that.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,22643552 Thu, 02 Jul 2009 07:29:44 EDT Re: years GONE from movie channels' information http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,22643306 Graystoke : Same problem here after the update. No year of release listed for movies. Daily and weekly programs do have date first aired listed. I haven't done a reboot of STB yet. Will try that tomorrow.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,22643306 Thu, 02 Jul 2009 03:16:00 EDT Re: years GONE from movie channels' information http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,22637626 KPSlider : I noticed this also with the latest update. I kinda do the same thing. It's like a triva kind of thing.

Tried a power cycle (left it unplugged for a minute last night, when I was having a separate issue), and the year info still wasn't present. I'm guessing it's a temporary glitch related to the Phase 2 rollout, hopefully will be resolved soon!]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,22635780 Tue, 30 Jun 2009 16:47:37 EDT Re: years GONE from movie channels' information http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,22635635 pc319 : It doesn't always work with a reset (power cycling the STB), you have to actually unplug it for about 10-15 seconds.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,22635635 Tue, 30 Jun 2009 16:22:59 EDT Re: years GONE from movie channels' information http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,22631536 btaylor1 : thanks for the suggestion. on a bedroom set top box, i mashed the power button until it power cycled (with multi-colors flashing on unit). after the picture eventually came back, the year information was still "not" there

another friend in dallas, like a poster above from california, has reported the same issue so if there is any harder kind of re-set, i'm not going to bother for now. i'll hope and pray this is just some sort of software glitch and at&t's gurus will get it corrected before it gets too irritating!]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,22631536 Mon, 29 Jun 2009 22:48:46 EDT Re: years GONE from movie channels' information http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,22628086 pc319 : Try a hard reboot of the STB's, it always seems to fix the guide information for me because it re-downloads it.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,22628086 Mon, 29 Jun 2009 12:12:39 EDT Re: years GONE from movie channels' information http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,22626838 efong : The Web remote also does not show the year info in the description.

Very annoying and hope they update their database.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,22626838 Mon, 29 Jun 2009 06:02:37 EDT Re: years GONE from movie channels' information http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,22626713 DSLHeadaches : I'm having the same difficulty, its especially irratating when trying to record movies that have multiple re-makes, especially since the actors aren't listed either.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,22626713 Mon, 29 Jun 2009 03:31:37 EDT years GONE from movie channels' information http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,22624005 btaylor1 : within the last two or three days, i have noticed to my chagrin that when watching live movie versions on hbo, cinemax, showtime etc., i can no longer see each movie's year of release when i click to read information about the movie. (the video on demand versions DO still have movies' dates of release in information.) the movie channels' information pages have also started showing cryptic characters like ** or +. perhaps this has to do with some software being updated, but i really hope the YEARS when movies were released can be restored asap (and the current omission is not some kind of deliberate programming decision). when i consider watching a movie, one thing i want to know is the year it came out. this not only helps me know whether i'm more or less likely to be interested in the movie, i also enjoy thinking about things that were going on in my (or my family's) life (lives) during the year when the movie came. is anyone else seeing this undesirable change? can anything be done to fix it?]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,22624005 Sun, 28 Jun 2009 13:52:55 EDT
