- 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.
SARA was what Cox in Phoenix had for years (literally, circa late 1990s up until a year ago). But they upgraded to Passport because On Demand was the clunkiest thing on the planet with an extra app. Some old logos in there, too - some not used actively since the 1990s.
seeing this 7 years after i used to have that gave some major nostalgia of fighting over that damn tv in the living room and now here i am with my brother who's literally in college

YESSSS!!! I REMEMBER WATCHING FETCH! ON THAT EXACT PBS STATION WITH THE EXACT SAME (Except instead of Green, it was Purplish Blue.) AS A KID!
Too bad I moved away from that station.
2ND BEST SHOW EVER!!!
ByChris Channel What was your cable provider?
Time Warner Cable
But someone hates that show
Mine was purple also
I remember this vividly on an Explorer 3100 set-top box (Adelphia)
Right now Rogers (a cable company that operates in some of Canada's major markets) runs SARA still I'm told, except they've added this fancy looking "quick start" menu when the guide button is hit. Yet, everyone went up and arms when they did that cause Torontonians are all "OMGCHANGEGETITOFFGETITOFF", even after Rogers put in a option to disable it.
0:49 there’s Arthur!
@LonleyPop69 his debut shouldn't have delayed a memorializingly wanted rendezvous with the Ghostwriter team.
Oh the nostalgia.
I had the SARA firmware until my provider, Optimum flashed their own firmware into everyone’s boxes in 2013, and there is no way I can downgrade to it to get the nostalgic feel.
My Comcast boxes used to have this firmware, I miss it so much...
I really love this Guide(OS)
Did the older boxes end up with Navigator, where I'm at on Suddenlink, the older SD only boxes that had SARA kept SARA when the newer HD boxes updated to a newer firmware that looks a lot like SARA but is clearer and its only thing that's not as fancy is it the newer one lacks the little animations SARA had.
I so miss SARA with my 1TB external eSATA!
This guide should have been Abandonedware for ATSC dvrs [USB]. because the patent has expired for this guy?
