Hopefully the update for the HR24 is not far behind.

 

[Hookem99]

I just hope its not the candidate CE from the last couple weeks. Tons of issues on my HR24's.

With YouTube videos will Netflix be far behind?

 

[jdspencer]

Mine has not yet updated.

With YouTube videos will Netflix be far behind?

Yes. Very far behind. DirecTV has no intentions of adding Netflix to their DVR so that it can cannibolize it's PPV and Premiums. The benefit for YouTube will be for them to utilize that platform to have trailers for their movies.

Has this release been stopped?
I'm still waiting on my HR23 to get it.
Not that it really matters that much.

Still slower than my wife on her way to the bedroom !

WHEN will they improve the guide and menu response speed ? I can practically go get a coffee while I wait for the guide pages to load !

Well, 452 is the current update.
No new updates since 12-17 that I'm aware of.

Well, the HR20 will get what uit gets when it gets it. Just wondering out load that it might not be in the air. Patience.... Think i'll have another beer.

If you want to try the youtube feature there are some details in this thread:

I don't think I was clear in how I asked. My question was more along the lines of, is the update still being sent? My HR20/700 has not received the most recent update. I'm wondering if it's still in the stream.
I've rebooted a couple of times just to see if it picks up the update then but it has not.

Appreciate any thoughts or comments.

Did a manual scan for update this morning and picked up 0x456

 

[jdspencer]

That seems to be the latest update for the HR20 DVRs.

 

[jcrandall]

Yes, HR20's only getting 0456. No difference in notes, must be minor.
