There are quite a lot of changes, improvement UI wise, but also has a lot of room for improvements. The transition of information from one channel to another seemed faster than I used to face. But also the menu items, the carousel like selection leaves it's thumbnails lagging in it's previous menu item. This looks sad actually.

But overall nice and a warm update.
1. USB recording (finally) is here. Monthly price to be able use it and with a minimum of 4GB USB stick.
2. Dolby Digital Plus audio now routed through HDMI. And it is pretty awesome, relatively louder and crispier than SD(?) sound.
Pretty convincing in the surround mode too, just not sure if this sound is 5.1 output.

3. There is an option to turn on the subtitles [See pic.] But unsure of it's applicability. Can be found under Menu>Setup>Lang. Preferences>Subtitle>(On/Off) Not sure whether this was already there in the older box, but I tried it on channels which serves Subtitles but all those are embedded ones. Maybe in future we could see an use of it. Just hoping.

4. Font of your options have certainly reduced in size, and looks attractive.


There are few annoying things here and there, like when you are watching a channel with Dolby, and you change and come back...the sound restores to the normal one. Which is kind of a bummer.

I did try my hand at setting up my usb stick, and trying to record. But it kept telling me "Starting failed. No recording rights" :'(

Also in the installation setup menu I read the expiration period is just 7 days. Which means you cannot keep any recording beyond 7 days??

Other features related to recording are pretty neat too, scheduled recording, setting a reminder to record etc.

It just started downloading out of the blue; screen had the message displaying the progress.

I guess you may have to be keep your TV set on at the right time.

Their Facebook page has been bombed with messages related to the update, I guess a lot of them were watching TV at 12 :p

Mr.Bhat said the data pack HD Zen was lost, if it reappears that is your cue to turn on the box and expect a download. :)

guys don't expect much of this update my personal feeling ... there is a lag in channel change .... the STB got slow .... takes more time to start first 30 second screen then another 20 second photograph boot ... is there a processor in STB if yes D2H need to upgrade the processor as the STB is dead slow to react .... recording has no use to me ... the only thing which has got better is the font size they have slightly increased the font size i do not have to strain my eyes to read .... rest it's all bakwas ... if given a chance i would uninstall it

sunnysep1 - yes...you are right STB is definitely got slower, and reason is Weak processor. but the sad thing is They didn't even changed this processor in their new STB 2222. This is the big big mistake of d2h so no reason for upgrade the stb...and will have to wait so longer for another new STB hoping good processor :thinking::bang::beat:

The initial boot now takes longer than the previous software. But this is because it is also loading the EPG. As the only thing in this update seems a Lil faster is the information.

Though the lag between changing channels seems to be an old problem. Don't know if the processor is sloppy.


BTW, is your account info displayed?
