I got it, havent really played with it. How do you screen shot your tv and put it on the computer?
Anyone get it yet? One of my boxes got it yesterday.

So what do you think? My girlfriend likes the shows start over feature but only a few stations used it as far as I can see.
One thing I really hate is the new on demand set up, I have showtime on demand and sometimes the movies with "busty" in the le grab my attention so I check it out but now when I stop it, it stays in the on demand in progress and I cant erase it. i have 2 small girls who also watch Showtime on demand for the kids movies and they will see the other movie I was curious to check out, My girlfriend dose not care but still.
Also the whole thing seems to move slower and shows I recorded don't seem to fast forward or rewind as fast and I didn't see the skip to the end option on stuff I recorded.

I got that off google but it looks like they just got a digital cam and took a pic of the tv.
Yeah it's about time - they had that last UI for about 15 years.
i got it on my new cisco cable box.... in hate that box. got it about 2 months ago. i want the old one back.
It seems to have trouble discerning premiere shows from reruns, at least from the recording settings that carried over from the last software.
They tried to copy the fast forward method that skips back a little when you stop it like U-verse does, but it doesn't work as well. They also took out the fastest ff setting and the skip to end option.

Wait. Am I suppose to be getting a new box?
Nope it just updates the box you have.Wait. Am I suppose to be getting a new box?
Oh! Well mine hasn't been updated yet.
Both of mine updated. Haven't really played with it yet.
I will be honest, it just looks like a new skin. I don't see much beyond what has already been mentioned with regards to functionality. Though someone mentioned "start over" and this has been a part of TWC service for a pretty long time. The fast forward thing (where it backs up a second when you hit play) will be quite welcome. I have been jealous of this feature on my cousin's DirecTV for a few years now. I don't, however, think that anything I have seen is any reason to cheer about. Big Deal.
Mines not updated either ...
Oh wait, I have Grande, nevermind ...
It's slow loading the channels for me.
It's slower. There is a delay when you first pull up any menu or guide that allows for the "fade" effect that is more of a nuisance than a novelty.
Scrolling through channels / pages is slower.
In the Guide, you can't go back beyond the last show that finished airing.
The 4x RW/FF functions have been removed.
The new "skip-back" feature when FFing is more of a curse then a blessing (how hard is it to stop when you want to stop?), and is downright annoying when trying to RW.
Lots of shows which are being re-aired show up as New.
Shows automatically start recording when you press REC, so you have to delve into show settings to change times or other recording options.
Recording Series has been completely separated from recording shows, and the aforementioned problem also applies. If you start REC a series, you have to go in and tell the box specifically to only do New episodes only, otherwise it defaults to All runs.
And on top of that, it still does that crap where it lags/skips when its trying to playback and record at the same time.
Some upgrade, Time Warner. I know people usually don't like change, so I've tried to give it some time, but this new software sucks.
One word for you ...

Grande
Cable.
I just want a whole new box. But I'll wait to see if my box's issues resolve with the update.
thats what i was thinking.
alot of people still use TWC!
One word for you . . .One word for you ...
Grande
House.
As in, I live in one so grande doesn't service there.
I work for Grande Tech Support, VOD on the way lol..Mines not updated either ...
Oh wait, I have Grande, nevermind ...
I got the new update yesterday, and it screwed with my screen size settings. Also, it took away my PAC. The tech over the phone insisted that I "changed" something....After proving her wrong they are sending a tech out.. I bet anything its a network side issue... Crime Warner
I use it because I really love Roadrunner. I have the elite or whatever and it's ridiculously fast. Plus I can scream at them and talk them into giving me discounts.thats what i was thinking.

- Scrolling seems slower and not as smooth.
- FF only has a 3x option, not 4x, and speeding through stuff sucks now.
- Pause and Play seem to recognize commercials and segment starts rather than the EXACT part I paused at, really annoying.
- I lost a few channels to the Variety Service, I guess I got them for free before the update?
- Overall, it seems more complicated than convenient.
But hey, it looks nice!
Wow, it's slower? That's insane! The old interface was so incredibly slow and painful when I'd use TWC at my parents house. I couldn't imagine an upgrade leading to it being even slower. What a crappy joke for y'all.
On a side note, my u-verse upgraded to the 3HD streams within the past few days... that's a plus
They billed me for at least a year after I gave them the boot and I didn't owe them money. The only thing that I like about them was you could restart the program but DVR kinda takes care of that.thats what i was thinking.
