I'd like to see the mini-guide, mini icon menu, and info bars 'slide' up from the bottom of the screen. Like when using an IPhone application, everything 'slides' into place.

I have everything you listed but "Watch in HD" can not seem to find that.
Turn to the ESPN standard definition channel. Is there a Watch In HD button on the lower left on the program info bar? Then press OK/Select on your remote.
Ok, I have the HD button on several of the SD channels. Not all yet. Which is nice saves time hunting for the HD channel number.
After seeing the boxes doing the d/l the last 2 nights and nothing different, it was looking like a waste for me. I don't have a DVR model.

Is the guide centered correctly? On A25 it's slightly to the left a bit. If I zoom in to 4:3 wide mode and bring up a menu, about an inch of video peeks through the right side. The video alignment doesn't fix the overlay either. That adjustment only aligns text, which screws things up graphically and also disables the scaled video.

I'm curious if the overlay system was worked on a bit, as it had a few problems. Also when picking a VOD title, the Comcast logo would invert and the guide graphics would glitch. Also when returning from a VOD "Preview" the VOD menu's would be distorted.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Pittsburgh-Guide-Update-1110-23334285 Thu, 12 Nov 2009 22:49:11 EDT Re: Pittsburgh: Guide Update 11/10 http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Pittsburgh-Guide-Update-1110-23333605 http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Pittsburgh-Guide-Update-1110-23333605 Thu, 12 Nov 2009 20:24:17 EDT Re: Pittsburgh: Guide Update 11/10 http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Pittsburgh-Guide-Update-1110-23333484 --

I don't know about you, but I've had the update for a almost two days now and I have to say, my DVR is actually usable again. It had previously grown to be so sluggish that the push a button and wait was definitely the norm on almost every push. Maybe it will degrade over time, but the old Moto is actually responsive again. Thank goodness.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Pittsburgh-Guide-Update-1110-23333317 Thu, 12 Nov 2009 19:43:00 EDT Re: Pittsburgh: Guide Update 11/10 http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Pittsburgh-Guide-Update-1110-23332638 said by The Q:

Today is the remapping of all channels to an internal Comcast source ID. This may or may not be limited to Corliss Street with a few restarts/updates downline. It is unlikely your guide version will change today. If all goes well, a FUTURE guide update will be released.

A28 guide deployment is scheduled to start on 11/10 and will continue through 11/12. There is so much equipment to be updated that it is being spread over 3 days based on model. The source IDs will all be updated on 11/10 which is why everyone will lose parental controls, etc, on affected channels. New iTV applications are launching 11/12 and I think the myDVR online DVR manager is supposed to be available 11/13.
This is SCHEDULED, not PROMISED dates of activity. The source ID changes on 11/10 can be delayed for any number of reasons pushing other scheduled activities back.

Think of the Source ID as part of a table of contents in a book.

In a book the chapter number is the channel number.
In a book the chapter title is the channel label (ie, HBO-E).
In a book the page number listed for the chapter is the source ID

Go to that page in the book ie) source ID, and it lists everything you need to know to tune the channel. Frequency, video PID, audio PID, qam modulation type, forward error correction, and much more.

Some of these changes are needed to take advantage of A28's new features. So this is step 1. A28 will come shortly thereafter. ]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Pittsburgh-Guide-Update-1110-23294119 Wed, 04 Nov 2009 23:36:04 EDT Re: Pittsburgh: Guide Update 11/10 http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Pittsburgh-Guide-Update-1110-23293166 http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Pittsburgh-Guide-Update-1110-23293166 Wed, 04 Nov 2009 20:35:35 EDT Re: Pittsburgh: Guide Update 11/10 http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Pittsburgh-Guide-Update-1110-23293083 --

I don't think it's "all" settings that are being reset.

There is some more info here.

»www.comcast.com/guide/

excerpted from the site for those who don't make the jump ...

Comcast is updating the Digital Cable On-Screen Program Guide in many of our markets.
This update will improve performance and pave the way for new features, but may impact the saved settings of your On-Screen Programming Guide. A message will be sent to your cable set-top box’s message center with the date of this update.

After the update has been completed, you may need to reset some of your personal settings, including:

Parental Control Locks by Channel
Scheduled DVR Recordings
Program Reminders
Favorite Lists

Important Notes:
The actual date of the system updates will vary depending on your location.
If you do not use the four features listed above, you do not have to take any action.
If you do use these features on any of the channels listed below, please reset your personal settings after the update in your market has been completed. Only the channels listed below will be impacted; settings on other channels will not be affected.
