HR 21-100 is downloading 0312 (have reset several times already with same result.

 

[rad]

Try the HR21-100/HR22-100/R22-100 again, it looks like it's OK now.

 

[raiden658]

On fourth or fifth reset, its now D/L 0335

I got it. The new version and last weeks CE didnt want to play nicely. I had lots of double folders, some deleted shows from yesterday magically reappeared.

This version was very slow to update and very slow on the boot up to get the satellite data. Seems it cleared the guide cache, since after reboot almost everything was 'to be announced'.

Hopefully this fixes the bug that the todo list didnt go past sunday/monday. I have that issue and it seems a lot of others had it too.

Only glitch so far is that both boxes took the update and came up fine, but when I initiated a system test on one of the receivers it said I needed a dish realignment (I dont) but the second and subsequent runs didnt say that. I know some folks have had lots of problems with erroneous errors about signal levels during system test, but I've never gotten one before.

So some knob they're turning went too far in the other direction. Hope they fix the problem with populating the todo list or I'll have to revert to the NR for the first time in months.

Active channel slow to load.

1 second delay hangup when scrolling through guide in IR or RF.

What's Hot! missing channel logos,also shows NDS channels that I don't receive.

NDS channels not being grayed out in All Channels,also NDS channels being listed in Channels I Get.

No audio Signal Meters Test.

Parental Controls blocking program titles in guide when you Hide Adult channels.

Bar color needs to be changed to black so you don't see a gray screen when changing channels ect.R22-100 doesn't have access to change bar color.

Caller ID displaying Unavailable for Name and Number.

Changing channels needs to be faster than 2 seconds.

Neither of my HR's have anything in the to-do list past today. I tried a double reset and that was ineffective. Just tried redoing satellite setup. See if that helps.

The guide is populated. The to-do list ends, but there are series links with recordable episodes this week that arent showing up. I can manually force the record, and if I remove and re-enter the series link, the episodes show up.

Unfortunately, I'm not liking the idea of redoing 80 series links.

Lots of other people on the other site reporting the same problem. Also possible its an issue with the NR as well.

Only other weird thing I noticed is that getting sat data during the boots and when I redid satellite setup was very very slow.

The breakups with MRV this week are the worst Ive seen it. I went from having approx. 2 breakups during a half hour show to 4. This is on a wired connection. Im starting to think MRV wont work properly until the receivers get gigabit connections.

Still its better than nothing.

I also had this show up, even though my signals are in the 90"s

From what i've seen, its not the network. The receiver pauses its transmission for a moment when the breakups occur. I was still showing a lot of available bandwidth on the network during the pause.

The worst case scenario (1080i mpeg2) is only around 15-16Mb/s. You could put quite a few of those on a 100Mb/s line. The more common scenario (720p mpeg4) is around 6-8Mb/s. Plenty of room for that.

The limit is probably going to be how many sessions the HR2x can support. They've limited it to one client and one server connection for a reason.

When your in single live buffer mode and watch two programs on one channel,then when the second program is playing you select Info/More Info/Done.The first program's information is displayed in Info for 5 seconds then it corrects itself to display the second program's information which is the correct information.Workarounds include going in and out of Standby,or first pausing the second watched program then frame advance corrects previous program information issues.

I put the CE on both of my DVR's and the play list on the family room won't stay on A-Z it always goes back to sort by date, got any solutions?

 

[Jhon69]

Going back to the NR this one second guide scrolling problem is the reason.
