forcing download, so far i have 380....


0380 to my HR23-700

[DJ Rob]

Downloading.
Got 380 here on my HR21-100's. Is this the new or an old firmware?
Got a message saying "formatting storage device" during bootup.
Now all recorded programs are gone.

[twizt3dkitty]

not sure why it formatted for you ??? didnt do that for me, and yea 380 is new. I dont really see a whole lot of change. The only thing that has happened i think is a coincidence, I have my hddvr mirrored to a SD tv and i think my rf mod is dieing, im getting a sort of 'static line' on the top of the viewing area when the box is set to letterbox format.

[DJ Rob]

It looks like a couple of others on the other site had their drives wiped because of this CE. They were using external drives though.

[cocoon]

I have an esata drive on my HR20 nothing nothing was wiped though. I wouldn't be surprised if D* pulls tonights CE.

[jcrandall]

I downloaded on two boxes and didn't have the drive formatted.

I feel sorry for those that did. In 2 years I've only had a drive formateed once during a CE download, and nobody else did, so I attributed it to some corruption on the drive.

I would be cautious of downloading Saturday night given those reports.

[twizt3dkitty]

i dont understand what would be different from friday to saturday... or why it would wipe some users drives but not others....

[dfergie]

I think Jason meant if you had "keeper stuff" on your HDD... I didn't get to DL this CE as was an am at work...
