If I recall correctly I was thinking that DirecTV was planning on pushing out a new User Interface (HD interface) this year (from the spring meeting??). Anyone heard anything new on this? I would think we would be seeing this in the near future.

I would not expect it in the "near future" but I would expect it.

Could you explain, please, for a nontech-savy guy like me?

GUI = Graphical User Interface.

What he means is a new guide/setup/options screen to take full advantage of the HD box. Right now it's in SD and isn't optimized for HD. I would also like to see this happen sooner rather than later. 6 lines in the guide is a little small, especially on these larger TV screens. It's a wishlist item, as well.

Good clarification tcusta00

Stuart - I do not remember if this one was in the Dictionary but I think that it should be included.

That leaves it pretty wide open egh? Not anytime soon but sometime in the future for sure.

My best recollection is that this is a 2009 initiative.

Since DirecTV bought ReplayTV, maybe it'll look like this:

I just wish the GUI was HD if you have an HD television.

It was originally supposed to be this year, but a Webcast from earlier this year states that a NEW GUI will be coming in 2009.

Hopefully, it will be EARLY to MID 2009.

That would be very nice if we could change the colors of the interface also an HD version would be cool.

Yeah I'm still waiting to hear of any cable co actually rolling that guide out on tru2way compatible boxes. It sure looked pretty and had all the features you could want but at this point it's as much vapor ware as DirecTVs new interface =)
