could you please share the SS and reviews!I too got Software update last night with Download ID 45.
Ya Sure...I'm currently checking it....
Review:
Pros.
1) Text size got big and thus easily readable from distance.
2) EPG loads very fast ( Biggest Positive point)
3) Better eye catching UI with Magenta colored bar.
4) Recording via USB feature enabled.
5) Dolby via HDMI
6) SD pic. quality somewhat better ( just little difference i felt)
Cons.
1) Hangs a lot while changing channel or changing through UI. (Actually this is not the Fault of Software but it's of Poor Processor)
2) Boot time increased from 30 sec. to almost 60 sec. (Doubled boot time)
3) Still no "Date and day" showing in EPG menu (Silly mistake)
Overall It's a very good software update improving many bugs over older version. The hanging issue will remain same in every next possible updates because of sloppy processor, so all we can blame on is only and only "Processor".

D2h HD 2011 with DW ID 45 s/w update : MY REVIEW
Prons :
1) Booting time : is about more than 30sec(40-50sec) which is acceptable I guess with the existing(slow) Processor clock frequency and file,images loaded in new SW FILE package with the improved UI features.
2) Start up booting message : again same as DW ID 40 and not upto the mark.Putting it same could have been accepted more.
3) Overall UI looks excellent with transparent Background color : positives
- Attractive Menu bar options with transparent Background
- Attractive EPG option with transparent Background and text,BG colors.
4) EPG : Promising UI with fast performance : positives
- UI looks quite attractive with provided color combinations and transparent look.
- It loads faster now while considering the much needed 'offer-new add box' given at right side of EPG.
- Bigger EPG-channel information TEXT : appealing to all age personalities.
5) Channel Hangs and channel skipping while changing FW-RW : Fixed.No issue.
- Still NOT observed.So FIXed I guess from earlier version.
- However it takes bit more time (than earlier) to toggle between channels from one to another : Acceptable with Slow Processor speed.
6) External USB recording enabled with DDP enabled via HDMI.
Cons:
1) No Favorite channel list 'Channel COUNT' updated from 20 to 25. Like 1.25,26-50,51-75,76-99 with read,yellow,green & blue buttons.
2) As said No day-date provided in EPG with time.
3) Active service is still as same.Format needs to be changed or only Games,Puzzles & Helpdesk options should be there.
4) Active-Helpdesk: Package list is still not updated.
* Need to check on recording features-options as stated earlier.earlier. Plz get back if someone checked this.
i.e. - any update about usability of recording feature? ( with changing remote type option) If this is there ONLY then can say it really worth otherwise dump again.
a) Any shortcut keys provided as "red,green,yellow,Blue" for "Start Recording,F/F,R/F & Stop recording" respectively??
b) Any shortcut button provided like e.g. 'Help' to move to 'Recording list' directly??
REVIEW : Overall Looks Stable and acceptable : Rating 3.5 out of 5
----Now D2h should directly ADD HD channels around 7-8 and ROI Regional SD channels asap once all S/W 45 updates are done in next 2-3 days.----
