I cant believe? it's finally here. Hide hd channels. It's a Directv milestone, a day in history to mark down on the calender. The day I thought would never come. Now that we use HD DVR's for are standard dvr's, so no more gray bars on the locals. And soon we wont have to teach the customer to channel one up. I'm so friggin exicited about how much better this is going to make my job and by not downgrading the cutomer with dumd stuff when we tell them it's an upgrade.
 
Still the same problem as the last CE release: The MRV list on the H21-200 is not in sync with what is on my HR22-100 DVR. A reboot of the H21-200 will sync it, but new recordings on the HR22 will not show up and the H21 will continue to be out of sync until a reboot.
 
To sync up the lists, you may want to try pressing the yellow button while looking at the list and chosing to sort a different way the change it back to the way you like to view it. This seems to be a very effective way to update the list.

That worked. But, it's kind of annoying that I have to do that. Hopefully, this will be resolved soon.

Using MRV and receiver won't recognize any shows from my HR20-100 playlist. They won't show up at all. Picks up shows from my R22-100 just fine.
