I am assuming that since these are for the H and HR series Rx's do they all also include HR21P? We use these almost exclusively in all our installs.

Were also can I find in detail all the fixes for the H20 when it goes into searching for signal at random time when we have -21.6db and 94 in signal on over all average at all of our sites. Most we deploy over SMOF even the SWM set ups as well. We use just the H20 for XM music on the auto routers. Thanks

This CE is very solid. Playback functions have improved.

I'm not going to attempt to answer this, perhaps someone will chime in or we can pass on to Directv...

yes. the HR21PRO is listed and usually is listed in these CE trials.

I'm still noticing cracking/popping in the audio while changing channels.

HR22-100 -> HDMI 1.3a -> Samsung LNT4051

I've tried with both Dolby Digital on and off on the HR22.

did you send a report through the MISC menu? if you did it would be great if you could post the diagnostic key number here to help directv. if you haven't sent a report,you really should.

Sending the report now.

Oh... while in the Misc. Options, I noticed that the HR22 had the option to turn on MultiRoomDVR. Since I only have one DVR, and can't test, does this mean that the HR22's can now see each other for MRV?

No (sorry). IIRC if you turn it on in the network/advanced settings there is now a field to specify a 'friendly name' for the DVR.

Directv is planning on offering this MRV service between two HD DVR's soon. But right now it is only between the H21& H23.

HR21-100 with AM21

Downloaded 02E3 last night. GUI is sluggish; especially when scrolling the list of recorded programs.

 

[tridgley]

I see an overall improvement in the channel up or down function but seems to be longer than usual lag time once you select a channel until that channel actually appears. The guide and playlist are working well and for the first time in 6 months the caller ID feature seems to be working.

issues today with bookmarks. without going through the process, when skipping forward, just on the first press it goes directly to the end of the recording. this only happens while the dvr is recording another program at the time.

 

[srenker]

Having trouble changing to 264 BBCA using center position in QuickTune. Channel/program banner comes up but picture is black and no audio. Using channel up/down or numbers to go to a different channel and back gets 264 tuned in.

Sent report #20080313-AA3.

HR21-100 with AM21 -- I have experienced this since signing up with D* last July no matter the software release. It only does it about 10% of the time but my wife and I watch 90% of our shows time-shifted and there's nothing worse than skipping forward and finding that you're at the end of the recording.
