Ah! Good news. Thanks for the edification.

That's good to know, but someone needs to tell the people at
www.solidsignal.com

and
www.directv.com

about this. Both websites only mention using it with a DIRECTV HD DVR.

This is probably because CE is test software, (unless this hotfix is national already) and CE software isnt publically released or talked about.

Was it a national software release or a CE? Rad didn't mention, so I assumed it was national.

Yes, it's been in the national release code for awhile now, along with enabling the ethernet port for Media Share and TVApps.

I will sell you one.

Always like & use the supporting companies as much as I can (SWM-8, cable supplies, etc..) but you're best bet here is to call DTV & negotiate a better price for the AM-21 as long as your account is in good standing. I've gotten them free all the way up to maybe $35.
