What does that have to do with new guide?
Are you guys saying you received new guide and it has no data?
Or old guide no data and making something out of nothing? |

My boxes rebooted at 5:45 AM today. |
|

It is the same guide. None of the boxes had data this morning, needed to reboot them all and it came back. Just as the email said might be necessary. |

we're not making something out of nothing. it obviously means something that as we get news of a new guide rollout, our data in the old guide is gone. |

Re: [iO] New Guide Rollout or just simple Maintenance?More than likely it has to do with the new guide..Someone said that the new guide will be rolled out over the course of the month so it probably is for it.. |

I had no guide data today as well, but that was at 4 AM. It's not unusual for me to have no guide info at that time of the day (at least it was when I had the SA box) so I didn't really think it was related to the guide update.
It was the old guide and old interface.
I'll give it a reboot when I get home. |

I had no guide data at 10:30 this morning... i know that the boxes have issues with the guide early in the morning. But never seen it that late... |

It stands to reason they would apply the same upgrades to the guide as they did with the DVR menu to bring it to the 21st century.
The guide needs the same revamp. The On Demand menu works ok already. |

Re: [iO] New Guide RolloutIt's been annoying how ever since they added the new iO Search function, anytime I use it or even when the box sits for a couple of hours on the same channel...the guide data is gone. Annoying as hell, but since the new guide is coming I guess I'll deal with it. |

If I understand your statement, I never had that happen to me. |

Re: [iO] New Guide Rollout or just simple Maintenance?So far so good for staggered roll out starting tomorrow morning. Please do not ask me when your area will be updated. |

I came home and I had guide data with the old guide. Just for kicks I rebooted the Samsung box and it seems to be in some kind of reboot loop. It says 6520, then OCAP followed by 7:00 on the front of the box. When "7:00" is diplayed a Samsung boot loader screen is up. It gets about 1/3 through the progress bar when "boot" comes back up on the LCD screen and it restarts and goes through the same process again.
Oh well. I'm sure it'll eventually reboot. Must be having some kind of signal issue where it can't download the guide data. I probably should have another truck roll (that's how I ended up with the Samsung box to begin with) but I'm patient. |

Go around in a loop multiple times and eventually boot. |

Just went to check on the box and it was at "turn on." I turned it on, the "iO boot loader" came up and proceeded to download the software as the iO logo slowly filled up. Once it was done, the TV came up and it was the old guide with data. Like root  stated, there was an unrelated extended guide data outage this morning. I probably should've looked here before going to do the reboot when I got home. If nothing else, I have a fresh download of the old (or "current") software. LOL. |

At 3:30 AM we got the new guide here in the Morris County system. Utterly shocked that we were first for a change. You should just change the topic to just New Guide Rollout at this rate. |

Same old guide here on the Raritan system. |

Changed the title. All of my boxes (Samsung) were at the "turn on" mode. I booted one up and it was the same UI. Guess we have to wait another day. |

It's being rolled out in steps. Your area will get it soon enough. |

If you saw the letter it is on a "per box" basis, not even system. One box in your house could have the new guide while another has the old one. Supposedly they are targeting the Scientific Atlanta boxes first. |

The regular SA8300, the SA4200 and SA4250HDs in my house all got it.
I wish it was full screen HD on the HD boxes though. Plus the double button press was with the iO button and then select to get to the guide. Now you have to hit select twice on the new guide to change to the channel highlighted.
Those are the only downsides to this, everything else works as the Explore Optimum video showed us. Very fast on all the SA box flavors listed above. |

Depends where you are. The rollout will be complete by Oct 26th. |
