The LNB was not changed, still the old LNB covered in mildew. There were support arms on the mount for the dish, that were undone when they redid my roof that year, and those weren't even secured again. At this point I have no service as the DVR just cycles from blue screen to reboot. I am...

Hey guys its been a while. Back in 2011 I left D* after 15 years for AT&T Uverse. I was happy with the service, and had relatively few issues. Last week I called to do the promo merry-go-round and I was told, matter of factly, Uverse was being phased out.(true or not who knows) So they gave...

LOL, you're exactly right. I see this a lot as an iOS Dev. Non-Dev's get a hold of iOS beta's and expect it to be perfect. They just don't get the fact that the purpose of 'Beta' or 'CE' software is to test it, find and report the bugs. You will have issues with betas its a given! Thats the purpose.

Just did, and looks good now, got the addl software message.

DL was complete, channel banner popped up then froze. The other one is 'Downloading addl software' about 4-5 min now.

Success on one, the other is stuck on a black screen with channel banner(HR24-200's). Unit appears froze. I'll give it a bit and reboot.

0559 on HR24-200

^^^ As he said......

I actually thought that it may happen this weekend, only because its a new month. It'd be nice, but we'll see!

I actually had a similar experience with AT&T. Within 5 days, I packed up their equipment and sent it back. My issues were, HD PQ was terrible compared to D*. I had two Identical Samsung HDTV's side by side and AT&T looked more like SD at the time. Also, I am a family of 4, with 5 TV's. The...

Yep, many times. The last one I was able to get successfully was right before the last NR at the end of February.

Is anyone else having issues getting the CE's? I have tried several times, during the time period, over the last 3 weeks and all I get is the NR (0459). 2x HR24 1x HR23. Any thoughts?

I love my HR24-200's. They are leaps and bounds faster than my old HR21. As far as I know right now, the software feature set is the same on all HR2X series receivers, so the only reason to upgrade now, would be for the faster controls. The HR24's do have built in Decas, so it would eliminate...

Downloading 0452 now.

Thats not totally correct. You can force the NR at just about anytime. Only the CE's have special days and times. @Overdcoat When a new update rolls out, it's my understanding its rolled out one section of the country at a time. Your receiver will automatically get those as they are released...
