I guess this starts a new cycle

 

[jcrandall]

Version tonight is 0x02D0

Again, the -100 receivers are NOT included tonight.

 

[goaliebob99]

Just got back up about 10 min ago. On demand only has 4 items. Fortunatly one of them is the Trailer park boys. Downloading that now

Version tonight is 0x02D0

Again, the -100 receivers are NOT included tonight.

I'm on a HR22-200 and it says the version is 02AF

I'm on a HR22-200 and it says the version is 02AF

Likewise with my HR20-100. I didn't catch the revision til after the fact.

 

[sundude90]

What about the R22-100??

It still says the R22-100 in the first thread, by Jason. Why is there No update for -100 receivers?Are they not going to do CE Updates for these anymore or are they becoming not supported by directv anymore since they are the older ones.

I guess I should get a newer receiver then.

 

[grydlok]

my network services work again for my HR20-700

 

[jcrandall]

It is not uncommon that early in a CE cycle some manufacturer lines are left out. Sometimes that version of the software may not be ready, or Directv chooses to limit the test pool.

It has nothing to do with the -100 receivers in particular or their age or anything like that.

Don't read too much into it, this is not uncommon.

 

[sundude90]

Is the a download for the R22-100 tonight? I saw it on the list of the top post, but everyone says there No download for the -100 Receivers.

Thanks

R22-100 - Canceled

 

[sundude90]

Thank you dfergie! That what I thought, but I was confused since it's still in the list on the top post. Someone should get rid of the R22-100, so people don't get confused.

 

[jcrandall]

Sorry I missed that one Josh.

All HR2x/R22 -100 models were cancelled. Also looks like the HR22-200 was excluded based on xstation's post above, but I didn't get confirmation of that.

 

[jcrandall]

For anyone that has H21/H23s:

There is now an option in the Miscellanous Options setup screen (enabled by keyword search IAMANEDGECUTTER) to disable the MRV server.

This is useful if you do NOT want a H21/H23 to be able to play/access your playlist on a HR2x unit.

This download really screwed my HR20-700 up
Can't record 2 shows at same time, says 1 tuner not available
Says 0 signal strength on OTA but they come in fine
both tuners read 96% strength
how do I change back to old software, I can't have this BS

To go back to national software just follow the same procedure to download the CE only anytime that IS NOT:
Friday, 11:00PM - 2:30AM ET
and
Saturday, 11:00PM - 2:30AM ET
