Version 039E downloading now

103 location

looks like they changed the way 103 shows up in the signal area

After download last night, my HR21-700 would not recognize the external hard drive. I thought I'd lost all of my recordings at first. Tried several restarts and then re-downloaded 039E to no avail. This morning I disconnected ext. drive, restarted HR21, then unpowered HR21 and ext. drive, restarted ext. drive and connected to HR21, then restarted HR21 and it finally picked up the ext. drive.

Did the driver perhaps turn off during the time the receiver powers down before the reboot and not come on quick enough? I've had that happen before and just had to turn it back on then reboot the receiver.

So far so good. I've networked my HR22-100 and H21. I have a wireless G bridge on both going through a wireless N router (D-Link DIR-615). HD viewing has occasional hiccups, initially. But pretty responsive considering I'm running over a wireless network. Now that it works, I'm considering hard wiring ... always a dreaded feat, though ... attic trips aren't fun!

 

[areinike]

Okay, apparently, what I was watching worked decent over wireless as far as HD is concerned. But watched another HD program and it was pretty choppy. SD works smooth, though. I'll definitely be looking into hard wiring.

I really wasn't watching that close. Never happened before.

Downloaded last night. MRV working well. I really wish they would add the choose recorder feature. I would like to be able to tell my bedroom DVR to record a program from my living room guide and vice versa....

I downloaded last nigh MRV seems better and the remote much improved

 

[FrankoQ]

MRV is working now. very little lag.

 

[DJ Rob]

What models are all of you using?

 

[cfb]

Switched my cabling around a little (no MRV sessions running) and got a message that the network cable had been unplugged, and the HR20-100 froze hard.

Sounds like a number of people are having problems with units freezing up, and poor remote control response under some circumstances.

Theres a lot of new MRV code involved in this release.

HDMI handshake issues, again. Seems to come back and go away every few CE's. (I use native)

Little update on my end. Using HR22 and an H21. Replaced the wireless bridge on the H21, and things seems to be running much better, even HD, no choppiness or anything. Both are wireless G bridges connecting to a Wireless N router. All seems well.

I also noticed better response from the remote. I was waiting 10 to 15 seconds from hitting the List button until when the list actually appeared. Now it's within a couple - much better.

It looks like Florida and Michigan received the updates. Why hasn't Ohio? Or has it and I just don't know where to look for it or even how to download the update. With 8 receivers this would be a great feature to have.

Same here!

 

[Mark0525]

Any idea? Should I call Directv and see when Ohio and my area will get the up date. I have no idea how to even force a download for an update. Is there somewhere in menu that you can download updates?

What update are you talking about? I don't think a new NR is rolling if that's what you mean. If you're talking about CE, then you need to read this thread:

And no, don't call.

Good - swore I was the only one using native
