An improvement over last weeks. The list sorting works much better. Very quick responding again. Unfortunately, their are still a few gliches. The list starts out blank. Scrolling down will help some of the list appear. Resorting the list seemed to help best, but it still showed some things missing. A few shows appeared to take up two lines, but as you scrolled through those lists, the blank line would get filled in. Odd, but much more usable than last weeks. CE.

I haven't had a chance to actually play with the MRV playing part yet.

Im noticing that when pressing list you have to wait a good 3-5 seconds before it pops up, much slower than CE's past. Also anything in a folder, when you go to open the folder, its glitched and completely blank. You can close the folder and reopen it, still blank. Ive restarted both client and server several times. HD seems to stream better though.

I'm noticing the same thing. I was able to get the contents of the folder to show up by paging past and back and forth a few times. I also had to scroll one line at a time. It eventually worked, but was a pain.

can you walk me through that? I tried it, and its not working for me.

My H21-200 is not syncing/updating properly with the content on the DVR for MRV. Pressing List shows some shows, but they aren't the latest recordings. Rebooting the H21 will update force the list to update.

rebooting didnt work for me, hopefully this is fixed tonight.
