Dual Live Buffers?

[callmebob]

I just read at avsforum that dual live buffers are now in testing for the HRxx boxes. Is that true?

That would be sweet - PIP!

For items in testing you should look at the CE forum here.

Two different things. You do not need DLB to have PIP and DLB does not mean you will get PIP.

So, if the CE guys verify the DLB works without issue, how long might it be before there is a general release which might include this feature ?

 

[jessshaun]

It's hard to say. It could be a few weeks or it could be several months.

I'm willing to bet it'll at least be a few months, but I could always be wrong. There is never a set timeline with testing.

Fair enough. Patience is free .....

It may be free, but it sure can cost you!

Since all reports about this CE release have been positive in regards to DLB, it could be released sooner. Just my opinion.

I tend to agree with jd, I thinik D* could pump these out sooner then later if it all goes as smooth as its going.

But how well is the other stuff in this CE cycle going? Everything in this cycle needs to be right before it goes national. I guess D* could remove things that are still defective, but if they did that they would have to do more regression testing to make sure that they didn't break anything while removing features.

so far it's going well but i'm sure there will be at least a few more tweaks to the current cycle. i'm very impressed!

How's the speed performance?

I wish they would fix the remote responsiveness, it's really bad of late.

it was very very bad at 1st but by sunday for some reason it really improved. so far performance has been normal:up for others it's still very slow. i almost had to go back to the NR on saturday. been really good for the last few days.

i still think this is just lack of processing power. there's only so much you can do via firmware. with some software updates it does improve but it's never great as it should be.
