WOOOHOOO... as I was typing the above I forced a call and it now says pending restart. heheh.. thanks to all!

So it's already on my drive? When did it arrive, and why would'nt it activate immediately upon download?

When you guys are speaking of "forcing the call"... I have a phone and connection menu that tells me when it last called in, when it will next and has options "test call", "change options" "update now".. I'm presuming that "update now" = "forcing the call", correct? All I'm getting is...

aha. found it thanks! unfortunately nothing came down for me. :no

How does one "force " the update call like mentioned a few posts up?

hmm.. from 3.1.1 to 6.2 will be a biiig jump. Hope it comes soon, so far my problem is that guide that takes up to 5 seconds to 'paint in' the program grid.. thanks

ok that's cool. Maybe I'll give this 708 a chance and see how it goes after the update.. If there a way to get it to d/l the update or is it just one of those "when your unit # comes up it gets sent."? Also, the only firmware # I see is the 3.1.1e and someone mentioned that is the tivo...

Besides speed, what does the R10 have over the DSR708, can you elaborate?

I just finished with them today, they sent a DSR708 instead of the R10, after two 'supervisors' I got nowhere. Told me "what they install is what you take, as we can't specify'. They were real azzes about it, although I was trying to be nice. Oh well.

Found that, it only lists the 3.1.1 tivo software the poster above mentioned.. No other firmware listed.

Where would one find the current receiver software revision then?

I just got the 708 also - requested R10 in the work order but the installer did'nt have any nor in their warehouse some 60 miles away.. Seems ok so far except the menus are sloooow.

Hi Just got a Philips DSR708 R/17 installed. It shows firmware 3.1.1e-01-2-301... Is this that 6.2 upgrade under another number or how do I get that upgrade? thanks

ok... guy showed up about 1:30, left at 3:30, he had misplaced his crimpers, so someone had to bring him some.. Triple LNB dish installed, 50ft of cable run, and a Philips DSR708 installed. The receiver isn't the one I wanted, requested the R10, but did'nt get it. Now, I read about...

we're up a little bit in Southern Illinois actually, but they call the locals "Paducah based". The guy is supposed to be here in about 10 minutes so we shall see how it goes. Bringing a 3lnb dish, 125ft of cable, new pole, receiver and the other bits. Interesting to see how this...
