Pay careful attention the the special Cautionary Note before using MRV.

Looks like you could be billed for PPV simply by having them recorded, if you use the MRV feature (possibly even without watching!)

If you record PPVs for future viewing, you may want to wait on MRV.

Also note the warning on VOD downloads.

Can't wait for this one. I figured that they will never upgrade the H20's so I picked up an HR21-200 today.

 

[sundude90]

Can't wait till they do the H21-100's!!

 

[jcrandall]

If one of the lucky guys with an H21-200 could snap some pictures of the list and what you see it would be appreciated by all us dvr-only folk

I will see what I can do. This is the box that I have my slingbox hooked up on.

 

[jcrandall]

On some slingbox players there is a setting you need to turn off for a print-screen capture to work. VMR is the setting you may need to turn off. Not sure if it will affect you, but just in case

Jag,
Why does your TV Resolutions not show up ?
Doesn't your TV Resolute ?

Jimbo

 

[hdtvtechno]

Its some generic brand... so its not supported..

 

[JAG72]

Here are a couple more. Notice that I am playing an HD feed from my HR20-100.

Jimbo

Not sure why it is doing that. My TV I am testing on is a 1080i resolution.

 

[JAG72]

Here is the playlist on the H21-200.

 

[JAG72]

I have already found one issue with MRV. I have deleted a show on my HR20 and it still shows on the H21. If I try to play the deleted show I receiver an error that the media file does not exist.

Maybe it doesn't delete on the other till it's been shut off and turned back on, sorry I can't help play with this at this time.

Looks like there is a refresh interval for the play list. The recording that I deleted is now gone from the view on the H21.

 

[EJFrye39]

Also, I just recorded something on the HR21 and it doesn't show up in the H21 list right away? Shows I had recorded earlier today are showing up fine.

Give it a few minutes, it could be the same thing Jag found, it takes a little while to refresh.

[JAG72]

It would also be really nice if you could name your DVR's instead of having the RID number show up. When this is all said and done I will have 5 DVR's and it will be difficult to remember which one is which without a rename option.
