Same here as of Tuesday 11/15. In Montreal and have the new guide. Anyone notice any new functionality (other than the Genres which was there in the old guide for the last few days).

In Lachine, rebooted, still no grey guide.

Boavista · 2011-11-17, 10:47 AM

so woke up this morning and turned on the tv to watch the morning news, to my delight I see the changed guide, so looks like i got the new update!.. looks pretty nice.. HOWEVER.. im still limited to only 2 HD streams..

I restarted all my box's and its still the same.. looks like i got to call bell and see whats going on..

New Menu in the Upper Beach(es). C.O. is at Main & Kingston. Looks nice. No increase to the number of HD recordings (still 2).

There are two different settings for HD video streams, one is that which comes from the PVR (Remote Receiver Playback Streams i.e.watching recordings or pausing live TV) to your 1200. The other is the live TV. The first line.

Boavista · 2011-11-17, 06:25 PM

yea i know, Its still 2HD/2SD streams for watching live tv..
Anyone who got the update see the change to 3?

ainyul · 2011-11-17, 06:55 PM

although i only got the update recently; i was able to call in a few weeks back and get the 3SD streams; apparently they did it manually for me so u may want to call in...

miss_iptv · 2011-11-17, 07:10 PM

I was 2SD/2HD before upgrade to 2.1 last week... noticed the change in guide and 1SD/3HD profile the next morning. I think the 2SD/2HD profile will still exist pending on your line stats perhaps.

Toronto Danforth and Coxwell: got the genres, got the twitter, got the new guide look, and a slightly different boot screen.

But still SD/HD 2/2, and still not Fibe 2.1: 2.0.26507.4. actually...

Phobia · 2011-11-18, 09:09 AM

Looks like I've got the update and the 1SD/3HD update too.

I noticed the new graphics yesterday, but the streams update didn't happen until this morning.

pshine · 2011-11-18, 09:46 AM

Yep, looks like Bell updated the streams overnight - it's now (SD/HD):1/3

(and the bandwidth cap has been increased to 38457281)

Boavista · 2011-11-19, 01:37 PM

yep same thing here. all is good now!

ncancun · 2011-11-20, 11:15 AM

I too have the grey guide as off Friday November 18. I live in Toronto

FinsToTheLeft · 2011-11-20, 04:40 PM

I'm at St. Clair and Christie in Toronto, and I haven't seen the update. I've rebooted a few times but no grey guide and only 2 HD streams still.

upsdriver · 2011-11-21, 07:46 AM

Hey everyone,
I have not yet received the new 2.1 upgrade, I live in the Dufferin and Lawrence area, Im sure it will soon be here, just a quick question, in regards to the new 2.1 is there much of a significant change? does the guide look somewhat better? the same? worse? what is the big hype all about except that we will have 3HD streams? please just let me know, will I be like "WOW" this is cool. or will it just be another one of those not so great upgrades. Would be nice if they could add channel icons to the Guide instead of just having numbers and would also be nice to get the call display on the screen when people call... thanks
