no, actually on the eastern region; the Scientific Atlanta areas are upgrading their UI's to one that is very similar to the Motorola UI. Now that my area has upgraded I actually don't know how to bring up the diagnotsics on the new "s25" interface. :)

@PrevueGuide the SARA guide software has already been removed and the iGuide software rolled out for the majority of the network, and if it hasnt been done yet in his area it will be. the answer to your question is probably no

[PrevueGuide]

Thank you for this. Do you still have this guide firmware? As many places have upgraded to a newer version :/

I am pretty interested in the cable box reboot sequences 'cause of all the funny codes the LED displays like that "-nu-" symbol at 0:15 or the "HAL2" symbol the 8000 goes through.
