Downloading 0x02CA

downloading now....

 

[hopester3]

All I am getting is Searching for New Software Message for about 3 minutes now.

 

[cocoon]

My HR22 just says "searching for new software (029B)"
The numbers above that line say 2/4/36/30

The 36 keeps increasing and 30 kept flipping back and forth to 31 now it alternates between 30 31 40 43.

I'm gonna try again in an hour or so. I already unplugged the machine several times.

All I am getting is Searching for New Software Message for about 3 minutes now.

Mine did the same thing, but I just restarted the download and it's downloading now, but it's stuck at 1%.

 

[JosephB]

there was a bit of time where some of them weren't downloading. they should all be working now, it seems.

 

[jcrandall]

There were some problems with some of the receivers not having the software in the stream, I know the -100 was in there.

It appears they are all ok now, so go ahead and reboot and retry the download.

 

[cocoon]

Downloading 02CA on my HR22 with no problems this time.

 

[sundude90]

I noticed that there is a "We have updated your Software Display" with this release. It's somethign about news Blockbuster Movies. I think that there should be something in there about improved Stability, Speed and other improved/ fixed things.

How do you check to make sure the SW updated? twice in a row did the reset 02468 and each time it said found new SW 2C0A and the starts downloading but at 95% all of a sudden the system reboots. Anyway I cant figure out how best to check if it actually updated the sw or is crashing on me.

Menu- Set up - System Set Up - Info and Test- look at Past Upgrade
Mine now for my HR20-700 is 0x2ca, that is the current CE software for my model rec.

ugh, tried many times to get the download to no avail perhaps ill try a few times tomorrow night

 

[vurbano]

My HR21-200 with AM21 is faster than its ever been this morning. Scrolling response in the guide is almost instantaneous. Only takes about 1- 2 seconds for the guide to come up. Its almost as fast as Charper1's who claims his was instantaneous with the last software before this one. Good job D*!!!!!!!

 

[bratboy]

Humm, no joy here after 3 tries . Guess I'll give it another try tonight. This is the first time I've ever had a problem DL an update

This is exactly what happened when I downloaded ... It got to 95% and rebooted, my version still says 02AF, so I assume that means that it didn't install the download.

I was suspicious that it didn't install so I restarted and downloaded again and the same thing happened 95% ..reboot. Version still reports as 02AF.

HR20-100, first time downloading CE.

 

[bratboy]

Wonder if it some sort of issue with HR20's. Hopefully tonight things will work.

 

[Wesro]

I downloaded 0x02CA to a HR20-100 and HR20-700 with no problems.

 

[jcrandall]

There were some issues with the download being in the stream early last night (prior to 11:30) and late as well. It only affected some.

If you couldn't get it last night, give it a try Saturday instead. Not sure what the problem was - but it was nothing on the user's end.
