Notes

• There are other misc. updates in the release
• GUIDE DATA WILL NOT BE CACHED they are enhancing pieces of the guide data, which means you WILL LOSE your guide data after the install. It will repopulate over the next 20-24 hours.
  This is only valid if you are comming from 0x18a, if you are on 0x19* you are not expected to lose your guide cache
• DoD GUIDE DATA will most likely be lost after you reboot the system.
• This is the eighth CE in the cycle... So the risk level is lower then the previous ones, but there is still a risk involved. Please only download this CE release if you are willing to take that risk
• This will be primarily an issue correction release, new features are not expected

During the window you can download the software using the proceedure below. The keyword search is needed to enable VOD. Also the future upgrade shows "Not Scheduled" until DIRECTV pushes an upgrade.

The HR20-100 will not receive this particular update, but the unit will work just fine. DIRECTV will release the updated software to the HR20-100 sometime soon.
