New XRE and STB Builds on HD Boxes!

Well this morning the HD boxes took the update:

New XRE Server Build: 1.39.03 Dated: 3/14/14
New STB Build: PR150BN_1.3.2p2s1 Dated: 3/6/14

Seemed very snappy and responsive last night (at least on the DVR).

I really wish we knew of a date when we can expect to see the "real" Dashboard that they keep showing in trade shows.

Other than that - not sure how much more they can change the current version.

There is some news/info provided on upcoming X1 Platform features/services in this article on the MCN site today:

One Complaint

One thing Comcast REALLY has to stop doing...

All of my boxes rolled back to the older XRE build yesterday. Comcast really has to stop allowing this rollout / rollback nonsense from continuing.

You have a new feature for 10 hours and then it's gone. To a normal customer - they're all going to be like WTF?

I guess having your favorite feature for a day is better than having your box break. While I find Comcast’s technology quite poor, it’s possible this is how they pilot their firmware (try rolling back an app update on your mobile device!)
