Give it until tomorrow night for Pandora to show up. I remember that it took almost 24 hours for it to show up on mine after I updated a couple of weeks ago.

thanks! Noticed some strange intermitten problems with the 30 second skip today. Hoping this release fixes them. If not, I'll follow up.

HR24-100. When playing back a recorded program from the DVR, progress bar does not disappear on it's own after using 30 second skip. Only hitting "exit" clears it.

The options show up as I type. I don't hit the red button. Prior to my above post, I typed the word "tiger" and those were the options that I got. I'll see if I can post a picture tomorrow if that would help.

When I do a search with 0453, I get the following options on the word that I typed in: -Show -Person (which I've never seen before) -Keyword -Youtube I'm not sure how the trailers thing works or how to turn it on. I've never seen the option anywhere, including the Directv Cinema section.

I think people still get confused regarding the youtube integration. For those new to this, there isn't a youtube section or button anywhere. You need to use the search function on your DVR and options from both Directv and youtube will appear in the results. It's a great feature!

I'm a new subscriber myself with a couple week old HR24. Been playing with this since the beginning. It is a little slow pulling off of my server (WHS) but adequate for songs and pictures. Video is restricted to MPEG but my buddy got it working quite well with a lot of other formats using...

Hi, Just switched to Directtv this week. I had a 622 controlling 2 tv's as well and went with the HR24 DVR and 1 HD receiver in the bedroom with the whole house DVR thing. So far, so good. As RandallA says, you can't pause live tv on the regular receiver. I must also say that the 30 second...

I did the apt thing and had a concern about holes as well. The thin RG6 jumps a couple of the guys mention above was the way to go for me. They work well through windows or sliding glass doors without losing heat/AC. Radio shack sells them pretty cheap.

Great post. Thanks for the insight. After more than 14 years with Dish, I'm thinking about finally making a change. I pay way too much for what I have and they make no concessions for loyalty at all. This multi room DVR thing is interesting.

Interesting... Thanks Scott.

So is there any coaxial output at all working on this box? If so, would it be live at the same time as using HDMI? I need this to run 2 tv's but I don't need to watch 2 different programs. Guess I could buy a converter if I have to, right?

Sounds like a lot of hassle. I'd look at going VSAT in Asia. Should be enough bandwidth for Slingbox. Cost ya about $150- per month. Otherwise depending on where in Asia, you could make friends with a US serviceman and get the military sat hookup. ;-)

Second that!

Cheaper short-term maybe but you have the added receiver cost per month, plus the BS factor of moving files, plus the external HD fee. With this you could also add an IR repeater and a switch so you can use the same line for your BluRay player/HTPC as well. :o
