I wonder if the guide is fixed on the HR24 and will not break on this one?

 

[Mr Tony]

I hope it is. I dont like having to reboot it every other day due to that guide issue (this is on the R22)

 

[Jimbo]

What trouble is happening with the HR24's guide ?

Never mind, I remember, just haven't had it happen is all ...

 

[jwil1968]

I have a question, probably a dumb one, but here goes. How can I get the HR24-500 HD GUI back? I had it, and somehow I got reverted back to the old Blue GUI don't know what happened. Any help would be appreciated.

You just need to reload the CE tonight during the download window following the instructions in the FAQ.


Edit: I guess I was beaten to the punch.

So, would I be correct to say NO MORE updates for the H20-100s?

Probably not, I haven't paid alot of attention to the non DVR CE's, but don't remember seeing on in quite awhile.

The scroll bar scrolls off the screen and you can't pick a channel. For me even punching in the number went to the wrong channel. It started with the 12/23 CE.

I do not have this problem, but, did have a random reboot on 12-29-2011 HR24-500

yep same here. I'd scroll down the guide and the guide would scroll but the highlight would be on the wrong channel.
So if I'm on CBS 12 and scroll down to A&E (265) and selected that channel it would stay on 12. If I went to TruTV 246 and hit down arrow, it would look like I was on 247 in the guide but the info at the top would be for my local 17 (which is the next channel if I hit down arrow from 12). Reboot fixed it

 

[bacchus101]

My biggest issue with the more recent HD CE's has been latencey in pulling local DVR content (15-20 second delay.) Remote content takes even longer. I didn't see this with the first builds and hope it is addressed tonight. Might be a case of bloat as new features are added, unchecked.

I have also had the channel bar issue.

 

[Jimbo]

CE is up for several HR series recvrs now, but not all.

HR24's are NOT up as of yet.

 

[charper1]

HR22 is late too it seems. Mine want to get 04D1

Looks like the -200 is up, but the -100 is not, so far

I'm guessing you got a -100.

LOL, sadly I am not sure
