I woke up this morning and on my receiver the locals were labled differently. Instead of HT8 it is now showing WTNH. Did everyone get this change or is my receiver being retarded? I like the change its the one thing I didnt like about the receiver.

I'm just curious but does your receiver perform software upgrades automatically? That might be why the labels changed. My Sony HD receiver does this and I can even use the Menu to see when the next upgrade is scheduled to run.

I noticed the upgrade for the first time when I saw that some new station logos were added to the Display. A small thing but I still thought it was very cool.

D* constantly works with the receiver manufacturers to improve the hardware and implements these changes via software upgrades. They usually schedule them late at night to reduce the chances of interfering with customer viewing. To check your HNS box for recent upgrades, look in the MENU, SYSTEM SETUP, UPGRADE screen. (your path may differ depending on receiver model) The latest upgrade will be listed by date. Also lists future scheduled updates when available, as noted in a previous post.

The locals on 119 have the station call letters listed instead of the city and the corresponding channel number. Everything on 101 is still the same....ie NY4, etc....
