Fixed broken On Demand My On Demand was broken with 7e5 and all 1xxx On Demand channels were staying on the DirecTV logo screen. Also, Pandora and YouTube were gone from the extras menu. 0807 resolved those issues and so far no new issues. Thanks!

doing great after the latest update and the remote deletion and random screensaver problem seems to have been fixed as well. light at the end of the tunnel?

I missed last night's window but will catch it tonight. The window of opportunity should be corrected for Saturday July 21st. It reads 11:00pm to 2:30pm. I think it should read 2:30am. I am on the record with loud complaints as well. It's a real head shaker how DirecTV allows customers to be...

They made nice strides with last week's CE on the HR34 at least for me anyways. If they can just eliminate the random screensaver popup and remote deletion issues it would be almost there. Speed and stability, while still having room for improvement, are noticeably improved. FINALLY, we're...

Better watch it Husker, getting too negative might get you some flack. I had nightmarish problems with mine too until this last CE but I also changed the remote to RF instead of IR so it could have been IR interference. I just started seeing the random screensaver popup (even while watching...

Still working great this morning. No added quirks like with the previous CE. (i.e. random screensaver) I did notice one thing which might be fixed with a reboot of either or both DVR's (I have an HR21 in the bedroom in addition to the HR34 in the family room) and that is I can't seem to delete...

Hey guys...so far so good and GREAT NEWS! Since updating on Friday night I have not had to reboot ONE TIME! Tonight will be an 8 show recording marathon so we'll see how it does but this is the first time since having this DVR installed that it's gone more than a day without a reboot or lockup...

You have to wait until the next "window" which is listed in the sticky post outlining the rules and guidelines for the CE program.

Will there be a release for the HR34?

I went back to 054c because the stability wasn't improved yet more quirks were introduced such as random screensaver popping up in the middle of watching shows. I'm over the whole DirecTV gross incompetence thing. I'm definitely going to try and have my 2 year agreement dissolved. This is...

I went back to the national release after yet another lockup last night. I found that stability wasn't any better so the newly introduced quirks like random screen saver weren't worth it. DirecTV has alot of work to do. I think they need a new CEO that will instill some sort of pride and sense...

I'm in the same boat. I think whoever is responsible for releasing these DVR's to the public should be horsewhipped for letting the HR34 out of the looney bin. This thing is still a buggy POS but I'm working with it. I was just very used to rock solid stability and blazing speed I got with the...

Not sure...anyone here with more technical knowledge about CCK installs want to chime in? Iceberg perhaps?

I did start experiencing the screen saver issue some mentioned where the screensaver pops up randomly when viewing a show. Pressing a button on the remote gets rid of it but that's rather silly. Come on D*! I've also noticed when I invoke Double play and go to to the other tuner, when i switch...

That seems strange but not surprising. The HR34 is still a very flaky unit. I also noticed power saver is working on my HR34 as well. Hopefully you see Pandora soon...
