HR2x CE Release 4/24 v.0301

[bratboy]

You can also toggle tuners using the down arrow as well but I just like using the yellow button.

well, according to that new feature thread, http://www.satelliteguys.us/directv-forum/172945-satelliteguys-first-look-directv-scoreguide.html
score guide prevents use of the yellow button. Dont we need that button for DLB switching?

Yellow button still works for me. Perhaps it only affected those who downloaded the CE???

Just to let DirecTV know...

No issues at all. Downloaded latest CE. Did the "YOUASKEDFORIT". Let things rest for about half an hour so both HR21-100 receivers could sync up. Had previously enabled MRV and labled them.

A bit of weirdness when you rewind a recording on another receiver. Jumpy and not very smooth but does not detract.

Commercial "skip" is on as opposed to the forward.

Gigabit network, hardwired.

Any other info of interest?

So what does DLB do and how does it help someone? I just don't understand what so cool about it?

Do you mean 30 sec jump as opposed to 30 sec slide? (Keyword: 30SKIP)

It mean both tuners, if your not recording on one of them, keeps a buffer for up to 90 minutes now. For example say you have 2 games on you can flip between tuners and the channels are both buffered so you can rewind or jump over commercials etc. Before the way around this was you had to tell one tuner to record the show if you wanted to flip back and forth without losing data.

Im seeing alot of audio studdering on alot of channels. I have an HR20-700, useing HDMI. Anyone else having this issue? Seemed really bad during nascar on Jr's channel, just did it once during the wwe PPV.

Nah, works for me too.

 

[DodgerKing]

Nah, works for me too.

It appears that the non DVRs are having issues with the yellow button on the sports channels, while the DVRs are working fine.

 

[vurbano]

my prob is pressing exit instead of the red button again to get it off the screen. I have to leave that channel and then come back and press the red button a couple of times before it comes on again.

For the most part no, but I did notice it a couple times on the second showing of Tracy Uhlman (sp) tonight. Basically seemed to drop to prologic for a sec now and then but I assumed it might of been due to the weather been kinda wet here in Denver tonight. I'll keep am eye on it tho

DLB impressions

First off, way to go DTV team! I still have two directivos running in my house and this first release of DLB is pretty darn close to perfection as far as I'm concerned. Coming from the Tivo world, I'm glad they decided to follow their paradigm and take it further by keeping the prev button operating on each tuner. Very cool.

I did just run into a minor issue when a previously scheduled recording started. The screen came up and asked which tuner I wanted to use for the recording and I didn't answer. Surprisingly, it used the active tuner that I was watching instead of defaulting to the background tuner.

I'm glad it defaults to doing the recording, and since one of the live buffers has to go, I'd really like it to be the background one. What if I am out of the room for a few minutes and miss the message? Now, I've lost the channel I was watching instead of the one that I wasn't watching.

Again, a minor thing, which says alot about the quality of the rest of the DLB implemenation.

Also, extremely cool on the new sports score app. That will be extremely useful in finding games on channels as well as keeping up with other scores.

Great work!! :up

30 Sec Skip

Do you mean 30 sec jump as opposed to 30 sec slide? (Keyword: 30SKIP)

Yes. That is enabled. Not that I assume it is relevant it is just the more info we can provide the better the devs can work out any sort of pattern.

Still working well for me.

Although oddly the receiver upstairs doesn't see the friendly name of the one in the basement. Haven't tried renaming yet.

Agreed!

Report: 20090426-848

The same prolonged startup time out of standby mode. HR20-100. My other two HR20-100s are performing as expected.

 

[jdspencer]

Any word on why it has been canceled. I was actually looking forward to it.

Maybe they pulled the plug on the CE 'cause they plan to go with an NR.

 

[sparkysteve]

Agreed!

I've did the keyword search "YOUASKEDFORIT" twice on my HR21-100 and the page down key changes the tuner but the buffer resets each time I switch tuners.

 

[bratboy]

Odd, and you did DL on friday night? First I've heard of this problem. If you hit the yellow button do you see the option for "Toggle Tuner" & "Previous Channels"?

Wonder if somehow you didn't get the CE SW downloaded. If you go into system info what version of software does it show as being installed?

 

[p010ne]

Is page-down the same as arrow-down?

Requires arrow down or South arrow tap!
