HR20-100
Report: 20090618-1DF2

Advanced scheduled movies for the preview weekend, using the "your receiver may not be authorized for this, schedule it anyway" approach. All movies showed in the to-do list.

When I checked this morning, the first was showing in the to-do list as recording and could be played from there. However, its not in the playlist either before or after playing from the to-do list. Space has dropped from 49% to 47%, so its showing there.

I hope all the preview weekend recordings arent like this, as I imagine they wont work with MRV if they arent in the playlist.

Same report as above. My History list is laden with shows reported to be "canceled by viewer". Nobody in the household canceled any of these shows and many of them were 'canceled' when we were asleep.

Havent reviewed the canceled shows enough to see if the 'cancel' notice was an erroneous reason (like it was a repeat instead of canceled by viewer), if the show actually did record after all since sometimes the history says a show wasnt recorded when it was, or if it was a legitimate show that should have recorded and didnt because the unit thought it had been canceled by one of us.

Nevermind. It wasnt showing anything that it recorded in the playlist, not just the advanced scheduled preview movies, since about 6-7PM last night. They're recorded and can be played from the history but dont show up in the playlist.

Reboot brought them back to the playlist. After I'd deleted and re-entered all 920,000 movies I'd scheduled for the next four days :rant:

I still prefer the CE over NR but the bedroom HR22-100 (BR) has had some problems since I originally restarted both HR22's to get MRV working between the them. BR HR22 completely froze while navigating with remote and had to be restarted to get any response out of it. And the following day I lost audio in the MRV stream from BR to LR and had to restart again to get it back. (I restarted LR HR22 first but made no difference so I believe problem was with BR HR22.) I also noticed during this time while I could see a merged List on both DVR's, the list was incomplete but restored after restarting BR HR22.

The NR s/w is very unstable while using 30slip or 30skip in multiple pressing of button to skip multiple commercials and often skips to end of recording or buffer on both HR22's. While I have only seen this once on the LR HR-22 with CE s/w.

I see audio/video distortions on MRV which are not duplicated by rewinding and viewing same frames where distortions originally noticed. I wonder if there is a way to add some oversampling to prevent read errors in the MRV stream? More notable and frequent in HD streams.

I've also noticed that remote function is more responsive after letting dvr catch up on its tasks, a couple of days as opposed to overnight. Also as a note, I'm using RF mode on both remotes and wonder if anyone has noticed a difference in lag times between RF and IR? My BR HR22-100 has a narrow margin of error for point and click using IR mode so I prefer the RF mode. To me, lag times are no different between NR and CE but CE is more stable using 30 skip and slip. I very much dislike the NR in regards to skipping to end of recording or buffer when using multiple clicks to get past commercials in succession.

Sent report # 20090618-1C72 to DirecTv. I see room for improvement but prefer the CE over the NR.

New Apple TV 4K released, plus other Apple Home devices.

Apple has finally released their Apple TV 4K with built-in Siri and a microphone so it can respond to your queries even if you don't have the remote. It also increases in price, to $299. I had been planning on updating my current Apple TV 4K streamers, but that's $600 for the two of them, and that's a pass at this point.

At $299, it had better come with 256 GB of Storage, Gigabit (or better) Ethernet, the latest HDMI tech and standards, and one year of free Apple One. But it probably won't…

Apple TV 4K

Apple TV 4K. New Siri AI and hands-free control. Stunning picture and immersive HomePod surround sound. Works with your Apple and smart home devices.

Meh. The 4Ks I have will do everything that these do that I need them to do.

Which that's most tech these days for anything released the last four to five years.

It's honestly a testament to how good the previous gen Apple TVs were and are.

Not a bit. IMO, Apple's are slow to boot up. Time is about the same with 1st gen and 3rd. Roku runs rings around them in that department. I only reason I stuck, is the Apple infrastructure, which has it's definite advantages. But $300 is a deal breaker. Later, Apple!

No. Makes me wonder if that is Apple or the carrier. I am on pre-paid, so I never get "an upgrade." I still have my old iPhone 11 Pro as a second line, and it runs iOS 27 just fine. My iPhone Air, which is still a current model, doesn't really seem that much faster in regular use. It is better in other ways, and worse in some ways than the 11 Pro (size), but performance really isn't a big differentiator, especially since I replaced the battery in the 11 Pro. If I had gotten enough storage when I originally bought the 11 Pro, it could still be my primary device with no issues.

Yeah, they boot up a bit slower than Roku, but the OS does a lot more, so it makes sense. How often are you booting them up that is a differentiator? Aside from OS updates, mine are on all the time. I will say the ATV4K is generally quicker than the Roku Ultras I have, when it comes to launching apps and responsiveness, not that the Roku is sluggish.

Am I the only one that hates what Dish did to their mobile app?

I thought I would come here and find lots of complaints about the update to the dish anywhere mobile app, but am not seeing any. It used to look just like the desktop webpage. Now you can no longer filter by sports channels or movie channels. Plus that they made it look like a big button telephone and you see fewer channels in the screen which requires more scrolling. Yes I realize you can look at sports then select which sport you want to look at, I just liked being able to see all sporting events in the guide with all other channels being filtered out. Am I alone in the wilderness on this?

Anyone else watch this show? Any guesses as to what was in the box Gibbs gave to Abby that was on her desk? It look liked it was glowing.

I also heard that someone was leaving the show at the end of this season. Any guesses as to who thats going to be?

I don't think Tim and Tony are that far apart in Age ...

Remember what Tony said to Tim when they first got back together ...
Tony said: I am the New Tony, Tim .... (something to that effect)

Tony has changed, he's been running his Security Business ... I'm sure he has grown up.

Give it time ... your judging the New Tony from the old Tony.

It sounds like Tim won't be around the Team much longer either.

Might be worth a watch when it comes out. Looks like typical big corp against the little guy movie BUT....there is a reason this plot type is so oft repeated, it draws audiences.

Project Hail Mary

If you're going try to read / listen to the book (can't recommend the audio book enough) before this comes out, I'd avoid trailers.

Trailer below, spoiling it to make sure you read the above bold message first. The book / audio book are fantastic. Go into this blind if you can IMO!

Kind of disappointed at how much they show. A lot still to see, but man, some good reveals in the book that are just served up here.

I agree. That can go for pretty much any book vs movie. Back when I was single I would read any Stephen King or John Grisham book I could get my hands on. When you read a book you make up the scenes and characters in your mind.....the movie version always disappoints.
