The SARA firmware has served us well. It has changed little since digital cable came out almost 10 years ago. On the newer boxes SARA is light and fast. But now I have got a letter in the mail saying that Navigator firmware is going to be flashed to everybody's boxes. I really doubt the older boxes will be able to run this firmware as fast as they could SARA.
This is on an Scientific Atlanta Explorer 4250, one of the newer HD no-DVR models which flies on the SARA firmware. Id be worried if I still had a Explorer 2xxx or early 3xxx series HD box as these things are slow even on SARA at times.
Anyways, heres a tribute to this firmware before it is flashed away from boxes forever. SARA will probably live on with smaller cable companies, just like the old Weatherstar boxes. But the big companies are ditching it.
