  • Server Issues.

    We are very aware that there have been system issues the past few days. In troubleshooting the system, it has been determined that the issue is at our provider and is hardware related. As of 12:05 PM ET our provider has moved us to a new server.

    Things seem to be running better on this new server. However in trying to diagnose the issue (before finding out it was a hardware issue) we made some system changes which we need to undo. So if you find any issues or errors please let us know in the Operations Center Forum.

    Thank you for your patience! Sorry for the issue!

New software

I got new software today. Not sure of the number, but I get a Folder for my External Hard Drive at the top of my Dvr Recordings directory. It's kind of nice instead of Going to USB Storage, etc.

I noticed this as well - it is a great addition, however after I changed my display of recorded events to a 'flat view' (not sorted into folders), the folder for my external drive went away AND there were no listings for any of the programming on the external drive in my list.

I didn't have time to play with it, to see if sorting by folder will bring my drive's folder back. Can anyone check this out?

Getting the USB folder displayed on the DVR list is a nice, small convenience, but being able to sort the programs on the USB list itself is what I've been waiting for. With over 200 events in my list, sorting through it is a real pain. Also annoying is when you are finished viewing a recording, the list starts from the top instead of where you left off...

L5.10 here on my 622 as well. Have noticed a few things (channels change a tad faster, except to 2-digit locals, which is the same as it's always been). the USB folder. Not anything else that's popping out at me at the moment...

Add Enable/Disable Screen for 908 Popup and Mode Reminder Screen Text Update

Have you seen anything to disable this popup? I think this is the one that pops up when you press TV on the remote control.

The only downside is the inability to hide 'questionable' programming from the wife. :D

When a program is still on the DVR, go into the program's menu and select "Edit Name".

Change "Hot Bikini Babes" to "Economics 204". ;)

Note that you can't "Edit Name" after it is transferred to external hard drive...
 
Ok,

As with one of the previous software versions (I forget which one), my local HD channels completely break up and freeze when recorded. I watch it live and it is fine, but when I play back the recording, see previous.

5.10 adding the external folder is 'ok' but the fact that there are no folders inside of it.....is a waste IMO. Sorting programs by alpha would have probably been enough

and so far 5.10 screwed my locals HD. Tears, skips and the same thing you see when a storm hits and you are right at the drop out point of signal loss.
I am still looking for ways around it other than don't time shift HD on my lils

I even rewound > hit record > playback was 'crap' and only worth deleting

all other HD works perfect but locals are messing up since the update. It could be unrelated to the update but my HD locals and just bad timing....grrrrrr

guess time will tell what's wrong

I just posted on this and you confirmed again what I was blaming on the update but didn't want to flat out say the update did it
Yet it appears it did!

Thanks and hopefully this is fixed soon. Celtics vs Lakers took forever to happen again, lol

Yes, this same exact bug appeared a year ago with one of the updates. I'm sending out an e-mail right now to a contact I have in engineering.

Great to have those contacts!
I work for software engineers and knowing a guy to IM or email sure speeds up the process

It seems worse on some lil's than others. that movie on FOXHD seems ok but the ghost whisperer on CBS is doing the 'glitch'

Hopefully they get this one fixed soon
