No dates involved ???

I downloaded this last Friday night ... Is this suppose to be a "National Release " ?

National, no action on your end and starting now over the next week or so.

Got mine last night (Tuesday) Sacramento ara.

 

[Brewer4]

Release notes updated.

 

[BruceS]

The release of 18a appears to have been stopped for the moment.

On dbstalk some people who downloaded the CE last night for the HR20-700 and then tried to rollback to the national release this morning got 17e instead of 18a.

This may just be because there was a problem at the start of the CE download time-frame last night. Many people on the west coast were getting 18a instead of 190 when they first tried.

Got mine last night, too. Los Angeles area.

I got this software on my 100 two days ago. Like the red button delete feature.

I'm new to the HR21 as I just got it LAST NIGHT -- as it booted for the first time it downloaded a software update (I'm also in Los Angeles) but I'm still trying to figure out where system information is located. (No, don't tell me, I'll find it, just give me some time!) :0D

I am seeing freezeups a lot, especially when I try to 'rewind' video. It sometimes locks for up to 2 minutes. :-(

Do you want to know where System Info is yet ?

Hey, give me time! I have kids to get to bed and a dog to walk! <g> And I'm on California time...

I'll find it. I'm a computer guy.

No problem, I am on Eastern time and thought it looked like about 8 hours had passed since you posted.

Jimbo:

Okay, I found system information for the HR21 but it was late, I was logy and did not write down the software version number. I don't even remember seeing it. !sadroll

With all the fiddling I've had to do with this DVR, furtively, late at night after everyone has gone to bed (the only free time I have to do it) I'm starting to feel like I'm getting sucked in. The TiVo is so easy to use (glad I still have it!) while this one is a struggle. At least I fixed the freezing problem by doing a reset; seems gone now.

I now abandon my pride and humbly ask: what is the method for forcing a software download? I want to make sure I'm on the latest version. I remember seeing it before on these forums but can't find it now.

Many thanks, once again -- you've always been helpful to me. :

There was an update (0x18f) to the HR21-700 last night (I got it at 12:36 a.m.). It was pushed so you probably don't need to force it.

 

[bimplebean]

Thanks, Mr. Bfstplk. (Yes, I recognize your avatar!) I'll check tonight.
