Re: [X1] Xfinity X1 now available to New Customers in Philly! Cool! So the background picture with the road... Does that change too or is it defined by Comcast? |

| The background picture cycles through a good 8-10 photos. Desert, oceans, flowers, etc - think of the Apple TV screensaver when listening to music (if you have one) - very similar.
I'm telling you - they pulled A LOT of features from the book of Apple.

| if so apple will probably sue comcast for infringing on their patents and we will never see the x1 and be stuck with the archaic iguide forever. |

That's the first thing that came to my mind as well lol. I like though how it tells you the current weather and latest news as well. I am so impressed with this box, it still needs some tweakin but man, does it blow the previous boxes out of the water! |

1 edit | New Build Pushed Noticed new code data on the About tab (when comparing to my picture from a week or so ago in this thread):
Release Version - now .OP8
XRE Server now X.01.13 (Build 4114)
STB Version now PX001AN_XC_1.1.1.1.1_PROD_BC_SPCsd
So, it's good to know they're constantly working on the platform itself. |

That's the build i'm on as well but how do you know it's new? |

Wow yeah man, on the old platform I think they updated it what every 2 - 3 YEARS!
There really should be huge incentive to get this out there. Not only for Comcast but they could licence it to other operators. Intel has licencing rights to it so I'm not sure what they are going to do with it. Build cable boxes with it installed? Or maybe it will run on their rumored IPTV service? The one where you supply the pipe, but even if you move, just take your intel box - and IPTV service and its with you wherever you go.
Hmm... |

ah ok right on. I wish there was a blog page we could go to or something with like a dated changelog, that would be cool. |

Re: New Build Pushed This new build has "slightly" helped out the performance of the RNG150 HD boxes.
Still laggy and hangs - but not as awful as it was. I'm just glad it's only on my bedroom set.
If I didn't have the DVR - it may be hard to keep it.

| Developers Are Busy! Noticed my boxes rebooting this morning - looks like more updates on the XRE side of things...
Release Version - now .OP9
XRE Server now X.01.14 (Build 4122)
I'm beginning to think these are the background/server side changes - while the "STB Version" refers to anything materially on the box itself - but, not 100% sure yet.

| Yeah Matt I noticed the reboot as well. My DVR actually froze up as a result. When I powered on my DVR box, The Weather Channel icon came up frozen on my screen. A quick unplug-replug took care of the issue. The non-DVR boxes were unaffected. |

3 edits | Mr-
That actually happened to me last night. Had to reboot the box - but when I did - it actually took about 20 minutes to restart (not exaggerating).
Not sure what was going on...
**EDIT**
Well, it made me think to check the About tab after last night's entirely too long reboot - and yep - a whole new STB firmware (1.1.2), along with a Feb 7th timestamp. So in essence, it was downloading a whole new platform last night when I had to restart. This is only on the DVR. HD boxes are still on older version. |

| Rollout Read in the Comcast forums this was a planned national code update - my HD boxes rec'd it as well at some point during the day yesterday.
Looks like a little coordination needs tweaked for these software updates.

| Just woke up and happened to look over at the STB to see what time it was only to see dL57 instead of a time. Thought maybe it's time I get some glasses but then I saw dL58 then dL59 realizing they must have been downloading another update to the set top box. Sure enough a few minutes later the box rebooted after dL99. Went to the about screen and not seeing anything different that was already posted:
Release version: xappl-XREX.0P9
XRE Server Version: X.01.14 (Build 4122)
XRE Protocol Version: 2.8.0
Receiver: Native version 1.1.2
STB Version: PX001AN_XC_1.1.2.1.1_PROD_BC_SPCsd

I read on the Comcast forum that the last build was causing some issues with sound and logos. But, it had been escalated.
They probably worked hard to get a new build out, which by the timestamp, seems to confirm that.
The 1.1.2.1.1 is a new build.
**Confirmed got it overnight here too. Damn, a code update every week! Verizon should take advice on this....hahahha** |
