This may be dumb question. But are they taking Pandora away with this CE update?

 

[Mr Tony]

doesnt look like it

I'm going to be trying this tonight on my HR-20, can someone explain what this means?:

"If you revert to national, it will be to the blue UI
You will need to enter IAMANEDGECUTTER keyword search if first time STB updated to HD UI"

Thank you

 

[Mr Tony]

Unless you have the current national HD release if you decide to do the 0-2-4-6-8 outside of CE hours (like Sunday afternoon) you'll get the old GUI (the blue one)

I've never done the other keyword thing

 

[hunters1234]

Thanks Iceberg. Looking forward to trying this tonight at 10:00 my time.

I'm going to try the CE tonight, hopefully I will get back the Channel Logos that I lost from the older CE I had been running, when I downloaded the CE from 12/16. I also didn't get Pandora from the 12/16 CE.

same here yet no Pandora after the reboot

 

[whitewolf8214]

have pandora here on my hr 24/200 hd dvr receiver but still not on my nr 24/200 hd receiver

 

[steinhouse10874]

So far ok - one HR21-100 running 0x595. Other H21-100's and HR21-700 still pending....

Is that the right CE? Weird.

Google TV issue

I run my H24-200 through Google TV and the old program guide worked (and looked fine). Did the upgrade on this one (and my other two HR20-700's). Looks great on the HR 20's, but the background on the H24-200 is white instead of black. Not sure if it's a DirecTV issue or a Google TV issue. Any other information needed from me to help fix this?

P.S. Pandora is gone for me, too.

 

[PHXHoward]

HR24 completed successfully. H25 won't pass 94%. Rebooted and tried several times. =/

Can you try hooking it to a different TV to see if you get the correct screen ?

HR24 completed successfully. H25 won't pass 94%. Rebooted and tried several times. =/

Any ideas how to get the download past 94% on the H25?

You just have to persevere. My H25 is very moody when it comes to CE downloads. I may reboot 2-3 times until it takes,but eventually it will.

It has been doing this for hours. Gets to 94% then sits there for about 20 minutes then starts downloading again and gets to 94% and gets stuck for 20 minutes then starts over again.

Either keep trying or give it a break & try again Saturday Night. My H25 will go up to the teens or maybe just a little higher & my screen turns to snow. I just keep rebooting until it finally takes the new CE or.........(but it has never come to "or..........." yet).

 

[Bodo Fenrirsson]

Also,I just sit there & watch it to make sure the CE takes. I almost never leave it alone by itself like my other receivers,because I want to be there to reboot it immediately if it acts up.
