Not for the HR20-100,,, at 11:30pm I started the download and in 5 minutes now, I got nothing,,, still searching for new software.

It's never taken this long before.

Looks to be ok. Guess I'll go ahead and do the other receiver now.

HR20-700... about normal dl time I guess, letting it populate till the morning...

 

[topcats69]

I noticed the "Miscellaneous Options" menu was missing after this CE download.

I had to do the "IAMANEDGECUTTER" keyword search to get it back.

Running very solid on the HR20's I have. I haven't tried MRV in about 4 weeks because a hard drive died in one of my units and i was waiting for a warranty replacement from Seagate. (1.5TB). Been watching an HD hockey game via MRV this morning and it has been flawless for almost 2 hours now.

Got it last night, I was busy on friday.

After the download and restart, I found a show on one dvr that I'd deleted 3-4 days ago had reappeared. Interesting. Didnt scrutinize the other one yet, and its mostly got my wifes shows on it, but maybe she'll notice something she deleted that came back. Seen a few other people report this. Seems the last couple of weeks CE's had some problems with deleting the wrong shows or deleting them and they return after a reboot. This is my first reboot since last weeks CE, so maybe thats it.

Turned both units to standby before I went to bed, both showed the blue ring this morning so I presume that means that both rebooted overnight. Heard some other people also say that they're having spontaneous reboots.

Remote response is poor compared to last week so I guess the priority of the UI had to be dropped to give something else more cycles or something got mucked up.

Forewarning: if you're deleting shows from the playlist, go slow. Sometimes its taking a few seconds to display a delete and remove the show from the list and sometimes it jumps around in the playlist. Its quite easy to see a show highlighted, hit delete, then the highlight jumps to some other show and the delete happens. Or you delete a show, it takes 2-3 seconds to remove the show, you move a few spots and hit delete, then the playlist display jumps and its on a different show and the delete then happens.

One other thing I've noticed the last few weeks that I thought was interesting. In cases where I have the same show recording on both hr20-100's, the actual start time on both of them is never at the same point. Some are 10-15 seconds difference from the other identical recording. Apparently one gets busy and starts later than the other. Since they take their time from the satellite, both should be the same down to the second, although thats something I'll have to check. I can see a second or two, but in many cases its a LOT more than that.

I also noticed the slower deletes on UPL.

I've also been having a lot of ignored RF remote commands for CEs since NR x368 and most were on LR DVR. Last night, during this ignorance of no response, I shook the remote and it responded very good after that. The batteries are fresh but maybe low room temperatures were effecting it. I had a solid green light on remote and blue power light was responding to most presses but nothing was happening. Others have reported sluggish remote responses but mine had been completely ignored while others were stating that their bugs involved a delayed response like all seemingly ignored commands were executed after a lengthy delay.

This morning I got up and had no audio when streaming HD MRV from BR to LR; reran network services to get it back.
