I have an HR23 and it was running the 0x57b software and I have been patiently waiting for the 0x59e software. I check my machine each morning.
Holy Moley I got new software today, version 0x59 f .
I have surfed around on it and there are some obvious changes from the 57b software.
1. The progress bar is now NOT covering so much of the screen.
2. The Remote seems to be working better.
3. The HDTV section is now included in the Display section of the menu.
To me this is one reason NOT to force a download. They are constantly working on it and you will probably get a better, more bug free, version if you wait until they want you to have it.
