I hope this CE gets released for the 100's. I have been quietly waiting on testing DOD. Hopefully the 700's have all the bugs worked and this is the last step in taking it national.

The HR20-100 users are finally getting some CE Love! Hopefully this will help fix a glitch I have with Tuner 2 reading low on the 110 feeds. It's annoying to have it reading 30% lower than Tuner 1 and only for the 110 sat.

 

[todd740]

I've got the same problem with my tuner 2

 

[bateau980]

At least I'm not alone. I was real close to calling support last night. Good thing I held myself off. I don't like the thought of getting a refurb box to fix a software glitch.

 

[Bytes2u]

I've got the same problem with my tuner 2

Same here with tuner 2 on 110. Swapped cables, BBCs and new BBCs. Short of calling for a replacement I don't know what to do. Only on the 100, the 700 in the bedroom if fine.

Downloading CE now.

 

[mike1973]

Quick DL, about 11 minutes! Course we have about 5 minutes of boot up time...

 

[JAG72]

Mine is in the boot process right now. The download did seem pretty quick.

 

[mike1973]

And another reboot....Time to get a fresh beer

DOD seems to be on by default, but when I hit "On Demand" nothing happens. Can't tune to channel 1000 either. Might have to wait for it to be activated like the -700

Make that two of use with the same issue.

 

[mike1973]

I think it might take a little while to kick in based on what I have heard. Probably going to crash and hopefully get up tomorrow to lots of stuff. New version seems very solid so far though.

#1 have you turned on VOD using the IWANTMYVOD code? (search here for instructions)

#2 the VOD took about 25 minutes before I started seeing it in my guidewhe it was release for the 700 seris.

#3 How long have you been plugged in to the internet? Make sure you are connected to Ethernet. It may take a few days for DirecTV to see your plugged into th internet before they turn on the VOD feature for you.

Chances are #1 and 2 is the reason though if you have been connected to the internet for awhile with your receiver.

1) From what I have read at DBSTalk you don't have to do the iwantmyvod anymore. I had the button right after the download. I also did it just to make sure and the VOD option already showed enabled.

2) Nothing to do now but wait.

3) I have been connected to the Internet ever since I received the HR20 3 months ago. I tested the connection and it is fine.

It seems that it was on by default, I did the "iwantmyvod" anyway and it was defaulted to ON. I'm sure its just a waiting game but I'm not sure how long I want to wait tonight, I'm tired

FYI, version is 0x1B4 if someone wants to update the title of the thread.

 

[mike1973]

Oh snap Just got it!!!!!!!! Still populating but I now have the main screen!

 

[JAG72]

Channel 1000 now available.

 

[JAG72]

Nothing available yet but at least the channel is now available.

 

[mike1973]

Crap, I'm tired and want to go to bed but I want to see what happens. I know CE's aren't supposed to be about new features but this is pretty cool. This is the future and gives DTV a huge boost in competition with cable if they do this right. Are you following this Dish
