    CE's for Valentines Day Weekend

    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!

    HR34 CE Release for the Weekend of 7.20

    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...

    CE's for the Weekend of 7.20

    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...

    HR34 CE Release 7/13

    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...

    HR34 CE Release 7/13

    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...

    HR34 CE Release 7/13

    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?

    HR34 CE Release for the Weekend of 7.6

    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...

    HR34 CE Release for the Weekend of 7.6

    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...

    HR34 Software Release v.054C 6/7/12

    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...

    HR34 CE Release for the Weekend of 7.6

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

    HR34 CE Release for the Weekend of 7.6

    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...

    HR34 CE Release for the Weekend of 7.6

    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...

    HR34 CE Release for the Weekend of 7.6

    It shows up in Extras in the same area as YouTube. That is strange why one HR34 would see it and another one wouldn't. This may be a silly question but did you also do the IAMANEDGECUTTER search as Lanarian advised me to do? How many others here are NOT seeing Pandora after this update?

    HR34 CE Release for the Weekend of 7.6

    Yes, Lanarian, I did the iamanedgecutter search before the CE upgrade but I will do it again. I am seeing Pandora now but since I've never used it and don't really plan to right now, it wasn't a big deal to me. Thanks for the tip.

    HR34 CE Release for the Weekend of 7.6

    Huh? I came into this install not knowing the HR34 had issues until after the installer was done and told me about it and he didn't really give me any specifics. If I would have known this thing required daily reboots I never would have agreed to it. By that time I was locked into a 2 year...

    HR34 CE Release for the Weekend of 7.6

    Any thoughts on preserving recordings? I've filled up 20% of the DVR already with recordings that I don't want to lose! If I swap to another unit now, they're all gone and to me this is absolutely confounding that DirecTV doesn't have a way to preserve/transfer recordings. A red button reboot...

    HR34 CE Release for the Weekend of 7.6

    Do my bad experiences really bother you that badly Jimbo? If you bother to read around about the HR34, you might find that many others have experienced stability and responsiveness issues as bad or worse than I have. Unfortunately, there have been those who had similar issues to mine and were...

    HR34 CE Release for the Weekend of 7.6

    Breaking News: The HR34 is still a POS. Seriously though, this update seemed promising until this morning when I powered it on and all lights came on but no picture. Sound came about 3 minutes after but never any picture. It was not responding to button presses because despite pressing the...

    HR34 CE Release 6/29

    Any chance the latest CE for the HR34 will be available again this week? I'd love to try it since I'm hearing of stability and responsiveness improvements, both of which are driving me nuts to the tune of one or more reboots per day!!

    Thanks for the info! I'll look forward to next time.

    HR34 CE Release 6/29

    How can I get in on this CE? I'd love to try it out if stability has been improved! I'm tired of daily lockups/reboots! EDIT: I see I missed the window! DOH! Any chance I can still get it somehow? Rebooted and tried the code but seeing 054c downloading which I already have.

    DIRECTV HR34 Home Media Center

    DirecTV should be horsewhipped for releasing the HR34 to the public. I've already bent the ear of two customer service case managers who called me with my tirade on the subject. Considering I came from Dish network, who I was with for 4 years, and had almost zero problem with receiver speed and...
