Version 039E downloading now :)

looks like they changed the way 103 shows up in the signal area

After download last night, my HR21-700 would not recognize the external hard drive. I thought I'd lost all of my recordings at first. Tried several restarts and then re-downloaded 039E to no avail. This morning I disconnected ext. drive, restarted HR21, then unpowered HR21 and ext. drive, restarted ext. drive and connected to HR21, then restarted HR21 and it finally picked up the ext. drive.

Did the driver perhaps turn off during the time the receiver powers down before the reboot and not come on quick enough? I've had that happen before and just had to turn it back on then reboot the receiver.

So far so good. I've networked my HR22-100 and H21. I have a wireless G bridge on both going through a wireless N router (D-Link DIR-615). HD viewing has occasional hiccups, initially. But pretty responsive considering I'm running over a wireless network. Now that it works, I'm considering hard wiring ... always a dreaded feat, though ... attic trips aren't fun!

Okay, apparently, what I was watching worked decent over wireless as far as HD is concerned. But watched another HD program and it was pretty choppy. SD works smooth, though. I'll definitely be looking into hard wiring.

I really wasn't watching that close. Never happened before.

Downloaded last night. MRV working well. I really wish they would add the choose recorder feature. I would like to be able to tell my bedroom DVR to record a program from my living room guide and vice versa....

I downloaded last nigh MRV seems better and the remote much improved

MRV is working now. very little lag.

What models are all of you using?

Switched my cabling around a little (no MRV sessions running) and got a message that the network cable had been unplugged, and the HR20-100 froze hard.

Sounds like a number of people are having problems with units freezing up, and poor remote control response under some circumstances.

Theres a lot of new MRV code involved in this release.

HDMI handshake issues, again. Seems to come back and go away every few CE's. (I use native)

Little update on my end. Using HR22 and an H21. Replaced the wireless bridge on the H21, and things seems to be running much better, even HD, no choppiness or anything. Both are wireless G bridges connecting to a Wireless N router. All seems well.

I also noticed better response from the remote. I was waiting 10 to 15 seconds from hitting the List button until when the list actually appeared. Now it's within a couple - much better.

It looks like Florida and Michigan received the updates. Why hasn't Ohio? Or has it and I just don't know where to look for it or even how to download the update. With 8 receivers this would be a great feature to have.

Any idea? Should I call Directv and see when Ohio and my area will get the up date. I have no idea how to even force a download for an update. Is there somewhere in menu that you can download updates?

What update are you talking about? I don't think a new NR is rolling if that's what you mean. If you're talking about CE, then you need to read this thread:

Link (http://www.satelliteguys.us/directv-cutting-edge-ce-discussion-forum/149732-directv-cutting-edge-program-terms-faq-how-hidden-features-more.html)

And no, don't call.

Same here!

Good - swore I was the only one using native :)

I don't think a new NR is rolling if that's what you mean.

Yeah, 395 is rolling out nationally, but slowly.

You cant get it as an NR unless directv has authorized your receiver. As soon as your receiver is authorized it'll automatically download and install the new release within a day.

Ah! I stand corrected. Didn't realize it has started to roll yet. Thanks!

Hey, Mark. We're talking about the CE updates. Ones which we force our receivers to install. Once installed, DirecTV needs to authorize your reciever(s) to use the features in these updates. A lot of these are considered "High Risk" meaning you should know what you're doing or at the very least, read up on CE updates, how to do it, what's involved, etc.

The normal update that DTV releases is a staggered release and seeming it's just a normal type of update, can take a course of a few months to roll out to everybody and don't necessarily think it has the Mutli-room feature - or if it does, may not be authorized for use. I could be wrong on that, though. I've been lurking for a few months here before deciding to register. CE 1/22 seemed like a good candidate for me and thought I'd register here since it seems that the people here are a good group of guys.

OH SNAP! I only got a chance to upgrade the bedroom DRV and hadn't tested MRV since the update. Last night I streamed a show in HD from the other room and it handled fast forwarding and rewinding as if I was watching content locally. No pixelation to speak of either. THIS IS HOW IT'S SUPPOSED TO WORK. :)

I just wish I had done the family room DVR, as it's the one we use most of the time.

you're probably right I should wait then. I was just hoping to get the multi room feature. Thanks for the heads up

Good - swore I was the only one using native :)
I use Native on three TV's and 1080 on the one in the living room!

0395 began loading to both my receivers at about 2:10am central time.

I have a HR23-700 and it seems the first run episode recording is not working properly. It is recording all episodes and not just first run. I have verified the setting were right.

I see that on a number of different shows, mostly when the guide data is incorrect. Examples for my is my local Fox station, their reruns of Simpsons and Cops never have a 1st run date and the discrpition is always the same.

The ones that it has happened with me all have the correct air date. The Tonight Show for example has an air date of 9-09 but it recorded anyway.

Okay, I was having a lot of problems with this release on my hr20-100's and rolled back to 395 NR.

What was happening was that in both local and remote MRV viewing, the playback would get choppy audio and video, slow down and even come to a complete stop. This seemed to be specific to certain parts of certain shows, since others would work. I could restart play but when I got to those same parts of a show, it'd chatter and then grind to a halt. The boxes also froze up on me several times.

I rolled back to 395 and everything went back to working smoothly again.

Strangely, I dont see anyone else reporting this sort of stuff either on this site or the other one.

I'm getting some serious lag tonight but not sure if it's cause by MRV or not yet

It was the copy of Sancutary that was 2 hours long. Hard drive is sitting at 62% free
