MRV on HR22s

[dancrouse]

Is the MRV available on the HR22? I downloaded last night's CE release 0x2df on all four of my HR22s. I unlocked the Miscellaneous Options menu and turned Multi-room DVR to ON on each unit. I also ensured that each unit is still connected to my network by pinging each device. However, when I press the "list" button, I can only see the shows recorded on that DVR. Am I missing something?

Currently the HR2X's can only act as a MRV server, not a client. The only client boxes are the H21 and H23 non-DVR boxes, the rumor mill says the HR2X's should get the client part 'soon'.

Ok ... that explains why they has an option to turn MRV "on". I will keep an eye out for future CE releases. Thanks. I like "soon". Can you tell me if you think it is days, weeks, or months?

Soon as in weeks, or low number months. Per the investor calls, MRV is expected to rollout as a standard feature in 2009. Thus, we'll be testing it "soon".

Thanks. Participating in the CE program is enjoyable. I appreciate all of your work here.

That was rumored the same time the HR20's were demo'd, they concentrated on the HD DVR and we haven't heard much about the other since.

To get back to your origional post, that is some awesome and horrible news all at once, its awesome because alot of people would love this, but horrible because now techs are gonna have to install home plug devices all over, or even worse d* would require us to run cat cable :O

Those things aren't the tech's duty. Direct sells a wireless adapter for $79 that would be the best bet for many people, and the software is now setup to accept key info (password) etc for the wireless network.

I don't see the day that techs are running cat5 or direct is telling customers to do it. For people like me, however, it is preferable to allow that to work, as I've wired the whole house for it.

Remember that features like MRV will only be used by a few customers. How many people have more than one HR2x, or a HR2x and H21+ and a home network.

Ok ill agree with that, but at the same time did you ever think you would be required to run a phoneline to the nid if the room didnt have it? I just see customers complaining to me about it lol. Ive talked to some people that were using on demand and just said "its coming" and they were like oh cool, but yea...

Will the R22's be able to use the MRV function or do they all have to be HD DVRs?

From what I have heard the R22 will also be able to act as a MRV Client, since the R22's currently already act as a server. Basically the R22's can do almost everything an HR2x can.

Jason, I think you underestimate what the demand might be for MRV. With the telco's (FIOS and U-Verse) doing big advertising that shows MRV people are going to be wanting it on D*. And the bueaty of the powerline adapters is that even if the person doesn't have a home network they'd still be able to use MRV with a plug and play solution.

I totally have to agree with you there Rad!
