Hey - Something NEW this week - changes to the channel banner.

Downloading! 046B

[pmcode]

Updating my "new" (refurb) hr21-700 to 046B. Was reeeeeeeaaaaalllllly hoping D* would be extra nice and ship me something a little newer than this thing to replace my now busted hr21-200. So much for that idea.

One off topic question for you guys in the know. I was using an EHD, are all my shows toast? The CSR said no, but I am assuming she was "un-informed" to say the politest thing I can think of. When I plugged my EHD into the new box, it tells me all my shows are either corrupted or failed to record, or something like that. Am I totally hosed, as I had 75% or a 1tb drive full of movies.

Your movies are toast. All recordings are encrypted so that only the dvr that recorded them can play them.

[charper1]

CSRs are not engineers or techs, so they likely would not or really should not be expected to know; BUT should say I am not sure and can find out or transfer you to our techs.

You say they shipped you a new receiver. The recordings on the hard drive are locked to the receiver they were recorded on. If you move the drive to a different receiver (or a receiver is replaced) it will format the drive upon bootup. If it doesn't format the drive, it will show the recordings but will not play them, which leaves you needing to do a reboot and erase to format the drive so you can use it again.

If you didn't or couldn't download this release (like me) and wonder what the channel banner changes are here is a pic from a member at dbstalk that downloaded it:

I thought it would format the drive, too, but it didn't. So then, I need to erase all the shows one at a time? Is there no way to format the drive from within the system? I really don't want to have to break open the case to attach it to my pc to format it.

Are you sure your looking at the EHD and not the internal one ?
Can you see any shows on your EHD ? If so, try playing one.

Let us know what you discover.
