[boy921]

Started getting the downloads at 8:32AM PDST. Looking forward to see how the units work, and what is new.

My Light was blinking, but was recording , just checked and said 213.... maybe in a little while when I turn it off...

local program guide ... but still no fix for my overscan problem that they promised me.

Mark just reported it is being released to only 10,000 921s now. Full release in a couple of weeks.

I just plugged mine back in. Had a freak storm yesterday and didn't want it 'Extra Krispy'. Forgot it last night.

Wonder if I will be one of the lucky (unlucky) 10,000?

That is my BIGGEST pet peeve. I wish they would incorporate an overscan adjustment like they do the picture shift. It wouldn't be THAT much harder to write into the software.

ISF calibration helped, but 921 still adds 5-10% and that is just enough that you can't read some crawls on the bottom or have cut-off sides.

Got the 215 software.

There is program information for the OTA channels, BUT it is only for the satellites that you are looking at.

Example: OTA, I can recieve, Baltimore, Washington, Lancaster, and, Philly.
My program guide shows almost all of the information, except for Baltimore,which is at 105.
I am looking at 119, 110, and 61.5 only.

Also, it only shows info for the main channel, not the sub channels.

Bummer, my Balt stations are also missing EPG info. I'm a DC customer without a 105 superdish.

Should we put most of this in the HDTV thread base not the DVR one?

215 is OK so far.
