forcing it would be the CE program. Here is the info on the CE program

I must be the only person who prefers native "on" (I also like the BCS system...) - I hate the annoying white "lights" at the top of the screen on many SD channels when everything is on 1080i (ie, native "off"). I would rather have the TV take a few seconds to change channels than see those lights.
Native On here. I want 720p to stay that way and 1080i to stay that way. If it's double converted then the picture is slightly softer.
SD is crap though, so I think it's unconverted to 720p. None of the 480's are checked on my Hr24.

I would prefer to have the Native in whatever position it is that allows my TV (60" Pioneer Elite) to do the processing, however, I think that the channel changing is just WAY to slow in that mode, so I leave it the way it is.
Currently it is OFF, but I can never remember which way is which.
One allows the TV to make the processing, while the other the Box does it.

Native on leaves the resolution to whatever the program/channel broadcasts in. Native off keeps the resolution to the tv whatever you set it on .
I forced an update to the new HD UI Saturday night and have been generally pleased. Speed is exceptional. My biggest complaint would be lack of translucent banners.
Also just discovered that the update appears to have wiped out all of the scheduled recordings after numerous complaints from the wife and kids. Ugh.
Hmmm, It shouldn't have.
Your the first to report this that I have seen.
All 4 of my HD DVRs are working fine, no loss of Recordings.
That is just temporary. One of mine did that too but after a lil while it all came back just as it was. No worries.
any one time records show up right away...series recordings take about 24 hours for the guide to finish downloading. But you shouldnt miss any recordings
I've had different version of the CE on my HR24 for the last couple months and all has been pretty well. I updated it this weekend, and I noticed that today for the first time, waiting for guides/lists/menus to come up is painfully slow. Never seen this before. I'll reboot again like was mentioned earlier. Does it make a difference which way you reboot? From the menu, red button, unplug for a bit? Does one work better then the other?
They all do the same thing .... differently.
RBR is like pushing the POWER button on your computer to turn it off.
You should go thru the menus if you want it to close properly.
It's the best way if you are recording to archive rather than just recording, watching, deleting/overwriting.
