The following post is from Comcast's Ted Hodgins, Sr. Director, Video Product Development - Navigation, in Media & Entertainment, "New Guide for Scientific Atlanta Cable Boxes" blog and Ted explains that Houston is targeted to get AnyRoom DVR with On-Screen Guide 2.0 by the end of August.

@Brandon, Houston is an area where we will be offering On-Screen Guide 2.0 this year, (targeted by the end of August). Thanks for your patience.

New cable boxes and a professional installation are required.

The new On-Screen Guide 2.0 is delivered to our newest cable boxes via a different and newer protocol and technology (called OCAP or tru2way).

The Cisco or Scientific-Atlanta branded cable box that you may have today is not assigned to the tru2way mode and can't be easily flipped or changed into that mode and preserve the current DVR recordings, favorites and other user configurable settings which would be an unfavorable customer experience.

The following excerpt is from Comcast's Ted Hodgins, Sr. Director, Video Product Development - Navigation, in Media & Entertainment, "New Guide for Scientific Atlanta Cable Boxes" blog and says that SA/Cisco customers in Connecticut can expect to get the S26 Guide (the update to the current S25 Guide) this week. For information on what is in the new guide, click the link or review the previous posts in this thread.

Our Scientific-Atlanta/Cisco customers in Connecticut can expect this guide update this week. Our customers in Shreveport, LA and eastern Texas have the new guide improvments already.
