Daily Fortune

[canvasback]

The HD DVR Main Menu has a new choice, "Daily Fortune".
Does anyone know what this is supposed to do?
It does nothing at this time.

What software version does it have and what model HD DVR is it?

 

[dcowboy7]

Mine has it too.
HR21-700 with current software.

Unsolved Mystery

I'm guessing that the "Daily Fortune" menu choice is an unsolved mystery.

A Mystery

4 HR20's, 1 HR-21, & 1 HR-23, all 6 DVR's have the latest national releases.
The menu item "Daily Fortune appears on all 6 DVR's.

I would still say that this is a mystery.

The Daily Fortune was mentioned previously a month or so ago, it was in the software for a short time and then I thought it was removed for awhile while they address other issues.
I didn't know it was back, I have HR20's and it is not on my units.

Where are you finding it in the menus ?

On the main menu.

On the main menu.

That's interesting, I don't have it on any of my HR20's or my H20.

 

[Davedirectv]

It is on my H21, I just noticed it within the last week or two.

It was used to test some networking features prior to the development of TV Apps. When selected it would just show a random downloaded quote, like a fortune cookie.

Really it was the receiver trying to conect to a web server.

Today it serves no purpose, it was just a predecessor to TV Apps.

I still don't get it, but not really concerned that it's something I want, because it's really NOT
