Not a big upgrade

Major Drivers:

• Resolution to rebooting issues on Hoppers
• Resolution for sluggish behavior on Hoppers

Well, sluggish behavior as one of significant problems.

Yep. I see sluggish behavior frequently. Hopefully things get better.

 

[TheKrell]

I had to manually upgrade. My H3 inexplicably rebooted before starting the download.

Oh I agree, I just meant there are no Feature Updates or additions in this one

I would be happy if they would fix the issues with skip forward and skip back, I don't need more features, I just want the features I already have to work.

Well, after a couple of days (knock on wood) the sluggishness has not reappeared. X your fingers.

I noticed a new issue with skipping forward a bunch of times on a recording. Sometimes, at least on my J3, I am rewarded with black video and no sound. I have never seen that before. I can get out of that nonsense by playing some other recording and then going back to the one I wanted.

Did the update this morning - so far, no harm, no foul.

 

[thomasjk]

So far the performance is back to normal.

I have seen that on my J3 as well, I have to be careful not to skip forward to many times too quickly. Irritates me that I have to go back to DVR and select my recording again to resume.

How about this one that happened yesterday! 2 hour daily show was being recorded from 4 to 6 pm. We started watching around 5 pm to skip commercials. About 3 quarters was done. I was skipping commercials with one touch. The recording started from the beginning! And, forwarding with remote was not possible. I had to leave dvr to live tv and go back. Then, it was fine.
The wife says it happened before. I didn't check if H3 had the latest update.

I've had that issue on a J1 since H316, maybe I'm just lucky!
