I got a HR20-700 and im noticing that when i pause live tv and hit play i have no sound. in order to get sound i have to hit RR a quick sec then play and i get sound.

just wondering if anyone else was having this problem?

The left click still works if you do it from a show within a folder, it just doesnt work if you're highlighting the folder name.

Whats weird here is that my wife will open a folder on one dvr and the playlist on the other will show it. And when hitting 'left' to go back to the playlist from a recording thats playing, I usually end up in a different folder thats been conveniently opened for me.

So...hoping they fix all these 9,000,000 weird little problems and the need to reboot every 2 days. Also hoping the release notes have something a little more informative than "under the hood" in them. "Changed xyz to fix abc bug" tells me to look at the abc bug for resolution and to inform if the xyz fix didnt solve it. "under the hood" says to me that some invisible internal function was altered to change the dvrs operating processes in a manner that is probably not evident to a user.

This is exactly what I take "Under the hood" to mean as well.
Minor things that the user has NO access to.
Would you rather they just Drop the "Under the hood" and did it anyways ?

I'd rather they told us what bugs they fixed or what features that they altered so we could test their fixes. I dont agree that the changes are either minor nor things we have no access to. If all these fixes are completely invisible to the user and minor, there'd be no actual need for beta testing.

Granted a change to some database process to do something somewhat differently that wouldnt change the the user experience or operability whatsoever doesnt warrant being called out. Thats not what we got in the most recent release.

In this cycle so far, the changes that were significant and visible to the user, and which could have had more testing were:

- Improved stability from receiver hangs that required reboots
- Changes to the 'delete' process where it took longer and wouldnt let you delete shows that were being watched on other receivers
- It was whispered through the grapevine that some new housekeeping stuff was implemented and putting the unit in standby would be beneficial
- Something was put in or changed that created the concern of a 'scary high risk'. Would have been nice to get something more substantial like "we made a major change to xxx and theres a small chance that yyy could happen".

Its just a level of communication thats too low for real beta testing. Good news is that nobody really cares what feedback most of us give. And its quite a treasure hunt to 'test' stuff without knowing what you're testing.

when i try to view a program via MRV..it wont play...and i get an error message
"cannot play DTCP content. AKE fail"

whats this ?
cfb
cfb
Reboot usually fixes that. The "ake" fail is an automated key exchange between receivers for the purpose of using the encrypted dtcp protocol.

DTCP is used an an encrypted protocol between receivers so as to not leave the data unencrypted between any two points;

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?

I'm not a big fan of the new layout, especially on my Apple TV. It used to look like the old Guide layout on the Hopper 3, but they changed parts of that, too.

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?

No. Bring in someone new.🤔 Tony is not serious enough for me. Parker is too close to the team and Tim is too young to take over IMO.

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.

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.

Forgot to comment. I did watch when it first came out on MGM. I enjoyed it a lot. I think reading the book made it easier to watch. Several friends commented it was a little hard to follow.

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.

A big win for the Patriots, and they are now 3-2.

Browns lose a close one with... The Jets. That is a classic Browns loss (granted, any loss is a classic one it seems). 49'ers, Vikings, and Chiefs remain undefeated. The AFC north have a three way tie at 3-2 for second place. :eek:

I had quit watching this show years ago because I ended up more annoyed than entertained. Well......I'm STILL more annoyed than entertained. I DO find it interesting to see how things work behind the scenes at many businesses. What annoys me is how utterly out of touch CEOs are with the companies they run. At the end of almost every episode the head of the company is amazed at how hard the employees have to work and many times have to work around impossible guidelines set forth from headquarters.

I found this one interesting because the new CEO had big plans for this company, Muscle Maker Grill, and it looked like the stores were all pretty busy. Recent history hasn't been good to this company however. I bet the covid lockdowns were the real killer.

Sometimes a thread gets so many posts in it that is can cause issues for the server so that why today we introduce The Song Name Game Part 3!

So let the game continue!

The last song was added by Bobby who posted...

One Meat Ball - Andrews Sisters

CONTINUE ON AND HAVE FUN! WELCOME HOME TO SATELLITEGUYS.US!

Here are the original rules for the game as posted by WebbyDude back in 2006. http://www.satelliteguys.us/threads/68645-Song-Name-Game

Just name a song title and the band who performed it. The next person does the same thing, but needs to list a song title or band name which includes a word from the previous entry. Pick songs from any genre.

Example:

Long Live Rock and Roll -- Rainbow

Rainbow in the Dark -- Dio

Another example:

Ride the Lightning -- Metallica

Lightning Strikes -- Ozzy Osbourne


Get it?


An additional note: we all know that song titles, sometimes, use profane words. Because this is a family friendly website it is advised that you clean up that title up a bit. This is accomplished by using something like sh!t instead of the real word. Thanks....
