Anyone know if 1.9 is out around the Philly area yet? I live in Bucks County PA and want to get the upgrade to start using the option to add a 1tb drive for extra space

I called Verizon this morning and was transferred to Tech Support after being told by the features rep that is should be available in my area already. Tech Support said they would try to push it - said if it works, than it's ready. If it doesn't work, than it's not ready yet. IT DIDN'T WORK! I too need the extra DVR capacity.

I am in the Hatboro/Horsham area. I got an email telling me it was now available...but then after a week it never updated. I called tech Support and they refused to try pushing it. They told me it was "indefinitely held back after discovering more issues". I've been waiting for it for over a year.
Unfortunately things did not go as planned and they were unrelated to 1.9. I figure once the strike is over we should see the resumption of 1.9 roll-outs.noketchup wrote:I am in the Hatboro/Horsham area.

I am in the Phill Burgs here also. I just called support and was told that it was pushed out a while ago and I should already have it, if not they could deactivate and reactivate my box to download it, but that would lose all my settings including the 40+ shows I have in my Series Manager. That has to be {word filter avoidance} how can you not force a reload of software on a box just like a nighttime update that normally happens?
Your area does not have 1.9 so sit tight. nt34 wrote:I am in the Phill Burgs here also.

Put it back in the box to keep it clean. It will be used. I know it is frustrating, but...
There is hope for us in the burbs. From my chat last night on 9/2. Let's keep our fingers crossed!

Question: is there a way that I can install software version 1.9 onto my set top box.
<They asked for my address>ME: Norristown, PA 19401Silvin: Thank you, one moment please while I pull up your information.Silvin: Thanks I have your info. I'm sorry the 1.9 software update is done by region and cannot be downloaded manually. Once the software is released in your your area, your set top boxes will be automatically updated .ME: is there a tentative release date?Silvin: One moment please.ME: If I get a new set top box, will that have the new software? Is there a charge to update the box or can I just swap it out?Silvin: No, the software upgrade is only done by region. So even a new set top box will have the same software in your area.ME: I see.ME: will the publish be before the holiday season?Silvin: It looks like the 1.9 software will be available in your area around the last week of this month.ME: That is great newsME: thank you very much for your assistance this evening
It is way more than just a guide...http://forums.verizon.com/t5/IMG-1-9/Many-new-features-in-1-9/td-p/324963I have two 7232 DVR's with eSATA and one HD STB. 1.9 allows them all to tie together with more features and an overall (way) better experience. I have a wonderful 3 TB's of space. 🙂mitch053 wrote:It's just a guide for an stb.

Cherry Hill, NJ got the 1.9 update at 4 AM this morning.
Turned on Action News at 5:15 this morning to see how much rain we are going to have and had it in Paoli, PA.
Quakertown Bucks county got it too
I live in Chester county about 30 mins south of Philly and I got 1.9 last night also
Coming from DirecTV and Dish respectively I am really liking the new software, doesn't seem so primitive. I notice when in the Guide if I hit the skip button the screen moves ahead 3 hours (it used to jump 24) and if I hit the Ffwd button it jumps 24 hours, liking the change, with Dish I could enter a number and then hit the right arrow and it would jump ahead that many hours.The only thing that is getting old is every single time I turn on the 7232 it asks what kind of TV I have to set the guide. Can't figure out how to make it stop. I have 3 other 7100s and they never asked. All are hooked up HDMI.
