Well my receiver has the latest firmware update (v308) but I still don't see this new DOD feature or NBR. Has anyone else received it on their 510? I know some don't want the DOD service but I would use it if available.

Server Issues. We are very aware that there have been system issues the past few days. In troubleshooting the system, it has been determined that the issue is at our provider and is hardware related. The provider was going to move us to a new server, however we are now told by the provider the issue is at the data center in St. Louis. They have offered to move us to a different datacenter on the East Coast or West Coast, however at this time we have declined the move to a different data center as it would affect the speed of connecting to about half our members.
We are waiting for more information from our provider, however we are trying to ride this out to stay in the same data center, so that when the server is fixed all users in the US will get the fastest connection possible.
If after some time the issue is not resolved we will be forced to move to another data center, if this happens there will be down time, as they will need to transfer everything to the new server and we will need to update the DNS and other settings for the new IP address of the new server. If we have to do this, the time it will take to move will be out of our hands.
We are going to try our best to weather through this, so we thank you in advance if you encounter any issues.
Sorry for the issue!

I tought there was a mention in the March Charlie chat regarding NBR but I could be mistaken. In any event I would like to see both DOD and NBR added to the 510. Sounds pretty cool...my fingers are crossed.
DOD is a dud, you wont be able to record anything off the DOD. I still dont get the apeal of nbr.
I like the NBR on the 625.Van said:
As far as Dish on Demand goes, it's a worthless "feature". $4.99 to rent an old movie? Nuts...
I dont like nbr, its a bad idea when it comes to anything thats in sindication, try doing a search for law and order, CSI, 24, and alias and see what happens.

Depends on how well the NBR is implemented in software and in the guide. I'm currently using a Motorola 3412 from Comcast and while some shows in syndication do cause problems others do not. I was using a 510 before I left E* (no LOS at new location) so I never had the chance to test out the NBR on other boxes. I have heard from some folks though that it seems to work just fine.
Nbr works quite nicely from timers created from the guide. DO NOT Use the DISH Pass as a regular timer or you will have a hundred shows from anywhere in the sat system pop up. Now you can set the dishpass timer to just one channel if you like and narrow it down, but I would rather use a regular timer from the guide to do my recordings. I have had practically no problems using nbr since I got my first 942 last year and have no problems with my 622s or 625 sd dvrs.
Without name based recordings all you have is a digital vcr.

That is exactly how I do it too and I do not have any problems either. I used the dish pass before and it was going to record the same show on both timers off my locals. My locals are showing up in 2 places on the guide which I hate and that is my main problem with the dishpass.
