Earl is discussing a un-named feature that is new, and that DirecTV want's to wait and see if anyone notices the change.

I'm not sure if it is DirecTV that wants to see if anyone notices, or Earl, but I'll humor them either way.

It is a minor improvement that will improve the experience for a few users, but many will probally never notice it.

If you figure out what it is I'll give you the SatelliteGuy of the Day award!
(Award is limited to a PM from me that says "way to go") Yeah!

Once it's out on either site I'll add it to the notes

-100 doesn't seem to be in there yet, still saying "Searching for New Software"

 

[jcrandall]

Hit your red reset button and try 02468 again. If it is just searching it won't hurt to start over.

Just tried, same deal. Its happened before where there is a delay for one, will wait a bit and try again. Never gets any progress on the bar so I don't think a rbr hurts

 

[mike1973]

Meh, not going and I'm too tired and cranky to stay up and wait for it I'll grab it tomorrow.

 

[jcrandall]

Mike, it is available now, there was a delay.

Mike,
Your better off to go into the system menu and do a reset than a RBR, it's better for the overall unit.

NICE JOB. Not sure if you got it from a chatroom - where I just saw it too, but hey - now I can post it and feel good that I didn't spoil their fun

Your PM Reward is on the way!:

 

[Scott Greczkowski]

I am going to grab it tomorrow if the reviews are ok, the last two CEs caused me a lot of issues and I would rather not have all those issues again if at all possible.

 

[grydlok]

Lol, I saw it also, plus I look. I had an issue with every CE reseting my series links back to 5.
