It is supposed to be available at some point but the roll out is taking a lot longer than CV had expected. When (and possibly if) it is available will depend on where you live, though I suspect they still intend to roll it out to all boxes. |

It is expected to be there this month in the rest of the areas that do not yet have it. My area had it on SA for 3 months, and parts of Nassau County got it 12/12. |

My in-laws in NJ have it on their DVR. I don't have it yet on mine in Westchester.
For now, it depends on where you live. Eventually all will have it. |

Most likely because CV is pushing the NEW Samsung boxes that come with the guide... They are only providing 8300HD boxes to dissatisfied DVR Plus customers (and hesitantly doing so I might add).. The 8300's have the Old Guide on them.... |

The software version for the box is pushed when you boot it up. It all depends on your location. Some people have the new guide on the SA8300, everyone will have it soon. |

SA & Samsung boxes communicate with different back-end systems. They need to be upgraded independently. SA upgrades had a lot of bugs, so roll out was postponed. Bugs were not there with the Samsung, so it was rolled out first. Bugs were patched for SA, and roll-out will continue.
Also, the SD boxes (4200SD) have the old guide, and those are given out to anyone with an SD box. |

Why not the smaller 4250 instead? |
