Cue the angry spouses. I'm glad I live alone.

See you next week!

 

[cfb]

Yep, no MRV, no downloadie. We're fully onboard with the MRV implementation and testing, having split our series links and pretty much depending on being able to watch whatever is on either box in either location.

So, no chance of going 2-4 weeks without it.

 

[Coaster fiend]

fine here in the Berkshires

haven't had MRV since last weeks CE so there's no problem here.

 

[dfergie]

Sometimes they go nat pretty quick if no problems

This is the first CE I'll be skipping. Would it be considered rude to keep commenting on the x0339 CE; IE, MRV problems?

It may be a good thing the CE's don't want us testing MRV; I've suspected that they already know what needs to be done to it and have been holding that gem for NR launch or last CE prior to release.

I was going to try something different with this CE (unplug power for 5 minutes prior to download). I read in Tech Forum that it clears the cache out but I wasn't sure what might be in there besides guide and To Do List. Any suggestions before I try it? Thought about restarting with defaults & unplugging power 5 minutes. Guess I could try it with x0339 the next time I need to restart to get MRV shared list going again. Any suggestions, woes or don'ts before I try this?

That would mean anyone with older CE's would most likely get new NR if it were released this week, right?

 

[dfergie]

Usually yes, all would go to the NR...

 

[RawisTheGameHhH]

downloading mine now

 

[danjfoley]

what is this TVMail?

 

[dfergie]

what is this TVMail?

I'm letting my receiver alone till morning and watching other sources, no head's up from the Directv folks on this, will have to explore like all CE's to figure out

 

[srenker]

TVmail appears to be the Messages screen renamed. Time will tell if there's more to it...

I just automatically started the download, then I looked here and saw that- disconnected the sat feed at 29% hope it does not cause a problem. Dual buffers and MRV are the things I use all the time everyday. I'll wait this one out.

I think what they meant here is that this CE (minus MRV) is a customer candidate for their up and coming deadline release of DoublePLay or whatever the final name is. In that regard, I totally understand the need to isolate MRV to verify no hiccups and all i's dotted and t's crossed.

DLB is due to the public and very much wanted by sports fans.

MRV is not getting the nod for this NR release but many of us here want it to be elevated in priority (no video splats please) so this may be the last obstacle in MRV's way to be cleared.

DirecTv please assign a lower number than x0339 for your NR release of H2x /R22 so my wife, daughter and I can still have MRV. THANKS and GOOD LUCK with your NR!!!!
