Attention 625 Owners

[ageism]

Just two questions

Just got my update and now I have two questions. By the way I love the folder option. Is there a time limit on how soon I need to download the extra 50 hours? Need to watch a few programs and plan to delete everything this weekend. I also saw where a member did not have to delete his timers. Is this true for everyone or was he lucky? Thanks for your help.

I got the L 462 update and to get the extra 50 hours all i had to do is delete all the recordings and i turned off all the timers for the next 24 hours. I did NOT lose any of my timers.

Huh, all 625s will get the update to expand the recording time to 150 hrs.

well I am sad to report my 522 with a 625 hard drive, that IDs itself as a 625 didnt get the extra hours

I deleted ALL the recordings then ALL the timers, ands still no joy.

might as well try forcing a re inatilize hard drive software to confirm upgraded hard drives dont get more space

Same thing happen to my 625 too. Last nite finally got the 462 udate. I deleted all recordings and all timers and the additional hours do not show up. Also, I did a reboot and still won't show up. What should I do now to get the extra 50 hours? Thanks

If there were any recordings or timers and you got the update last night (it went out to all receivers), then it will give you the 150 hrs. tonight when it does the maintenace update. So you should have them by tomorrow morning.

Try changing the Update time to something this afternoon and turn off the receiver.

OK, will give it a try. Thanks

Did you get the hours after you did the hard reboot?

Not really. The maintenance update has to happen for you to get the 150 hrs. It's some kind of hard drive diagnostics and it also downloads the guide.

You have to delete any timers during the update period. Timers outside of that time frame will be OK. My 625 updated Sunday when I had no timers set and I now have 150 hours available.
