I got DTV with a HR34 on Feb 2. The software out of the box was a mess from the MRV standpoint with nothing streaming easily to my H24 boxes. It took anywhere from 4-10 retries before it would come through.
The latest CE from last week has given me absolutely no issues with MRV. I have not had a 'try again' on the H24s once.
To be honest I am coming over from Uverse, and with the latest CE, it is smoother than that service was over the last 6 months, so I am just happy as a clam. I also do not know if I want to update to another CE because last weeks is keeping everything running smooth from my viewpoint.
No, I do not have Pandora or Youtube either, but I really don't care at this point MRV is much more important. Also my DTV2PC is working, and it was not on the last NR.
