This could be huge! This was a nice Tivo feature.
 
It would be nice to custom tailor Trick Play. Definitely not for every user but I would love to modify a few options like speed versus response versus viewable frames. Again, not for everyone but I would like to make my own mix.
 
I'll wait untill Directv does another national release for the HR-20.I think it works just fine with the new update we just got. But if another update for the H20 comes around ,,I'll be more then happy to try it out.
 
Download and reboot complete. So far dont really notice anything. I am going to check IAMANAEDGECUTTER features. Gotta go into basement to activate. brb
 
Trick Play seems a wee bit smoother but other than that, this is a very minor update if you have a previous CE release. Media Center features seemed ok. Maybe a hair faster but nothing new.

Brewer,
I am glad to hear your report about this current CE., as I missed it, loks like nothing too critical, perticularly seeing I don't do the internet connection stuff, at least not yet.

I think this release is a polish that is the last step before a national release and/or the next big test item, VOD. So I think its a good sign it was a very minor tweak. For those that have been waiting for VOD, I think this one is one step closer. Stay tuned for more details as they emerge. In meantime, report any issues here.
 
Media services still much slower then before they redid the GUI for it. Tracks within folders/albums still listed and played in alphabetical order, not track order. That needs to be fixed before it goes national.
 
Just noticed last night that on the Guide, OTA channels and D* channels are now different somewhat different colors.
