No HR22-100?

 

[Mike4HDTV]

All finished. Guide seems a little faster. Everything appears to be working fine.

 

[jcrandall]

No HR22-100?

Wasn't listed in the notes from D*. You can always try and if it doesn't find software or finds an old (national release) just reboot EARLY in the process. Around 90% is when it actually starts writing the software.

Looking good.. on the HR20-700 and HR21-100 :up
fast response on guide and channel changes

 

[jessshaun]

Everything has lost that "sluggishness" feel to it.

I really like the blink that occurs when you select something in the menu as well. I was getting very tired of having to guess whether or not the receiver was responding to any button I was pressing on the remote.

 

[vurbano]

sounds nice. I will download tonight.

 

[ChrisK114]

Yes channel changing is really good with this CE on my HR20-100. Best I have seen it yet. Now please don't mess with it D*!! LOL

 

[mlbfans]

Yes, the response from the remote is much better...

 

[Zynergi]

Anyone find out if the HR22-100 is included or not?

 

[hopester3]

Very Fast

I noticed that the GUI is much faster and deletion of shows that have been recorded is quicker, too!!

Thanks, DirecTV.

Anyone find out if the HR22-100 is included or not?

it's not on the list of dvr's. you can still try at 11pm to see if your model finds any new software.

 

[Xstation]

Anyone find out if the HR22-100 is included or not?

Yes the HR22 is included... It took like 1 min and 30sec for it to locate 02DF on mine, but did download.. Also took A LONG (longer than usual) time stuck on 90%.. but it eventually got it.

 

[bws2007]

my hr21-700,r22-200,and hr23-700 not downloaded new software and idea why?

 

[mike1973]

Seems to be much snappier! Nice job DTV!

 

[twizt3dsist3r]

my hr21-700,r22-200,and hr23-700 not downloaded new software and idea why?

try letting it sit at 0 for a bit, it should change, too my box almost 5min

 

[jcrandall]

my hr21-700,r22-200,and hr23-700 not downloaded new software and idea why?

Did you tell it to using the steps in the FAQ thread, or did you think it would automatically? You have to initiate a CE download.

DIRECTV - Thanks for modifying the To Do List screen to show the program infrmation above the list!

This is something I've wanted for a very long time, and it was always such a surprise to me that the Playlist had the program information displayed at the top of the list, that Search results had program information displayed at the top of the list, but the To Do List never did. Now it does, and it's so much easier now to review and prune my To Do Listi!

 

[JAG72]

I guess I may be the odd one but I don't see the zippy guide or fast channel changing that everybody else is seeing.
