24 hours since the download, so far so good. ALOT more stable than last weeks CE.
Menus are less "clunky". Everything is more responsive.
With the last CE, sometimes keys would have to be pressed 2 or 3 times before they would be recognized, now that "clunkiness" is gone. Guide can sometimes be slow, but about 95% of the time it isn't.
A LOT slower scrolling through recorded programs. Remote commands are slower just in general and sometimes being ignored in main screen. This CE is almost unsuable for me because of the lack of GUI/remote response. This is after 24 hours of having the CE.
I went in to edit off air channels and the list of channels all of the sudden had a blue panel covering the call letters and numbers after I tried scrolling. Video glitch.
Audio sync is off on HD programs after channel changes and it takes hitting rewind and then going forward to bring it back in sync.
No problems here so far. Actually seems like one of the best CE's I've downloaded. Menus & guides nice and responsive and have not ran into the HD audio sync issue someone else mentioned yet (knock on wood)
Is there anyone else with an HR21-100 with an AM21 that has been using this CE for at least 24 hours? I'm concerned that maybe I have 2 defective recievers since everyone else is seeing faster GUI... my channel changes are taking over 10 seconds and is a lot slower than last week (which seemed slow).
I think the AM21 is not ready to be used with the HR system. It should be a smooth transition for the off air channels. I really miss getting the locals through off air...the locals continually have audio and video artifacts...this should be a priority with Directv.
