Looks like another tweak folks. Lets see some VOD Directv!!

 

[jcrandall]

Alright - we got color this time

Another tweak release - they've got to be getting close to rolling this nationally, and hopefully VOD is next!

 

[Jimbo]

I would not hold my breath on the VOD coming out this way, at least yet.
I am sure when it is known that VOD will be on it... EVERYONE will want to swamp to get it....

I personally could care less about VOD ... big deal, I never buy a PPV so VOD won't do much for me either. IF I do buy a PPV and can't wait till the bottom of the hour to watch it, too bad for me ....

I'm trying. I think I got the process down. Just time consuming to convert and still give credit to DBSTalk.

How come the -100 isn't getting any love here?

I noticed that Earl has added the following to his notices:

"You are permitted to copy this CE Announcement in it's entirety without modification so long as you provide a clickable link to DBSTalk.com, specifically to this thread: http://www.dbstalk.com/showthread.php?t=91878."

Also the white GUI and Media Share for the R15s.

 

[Scott Greczkowski]

Earl can request what he wants, we are not required to post what he wants us to post.

If he don't like it then too bad for him, take us to court.

Actually all kidding aside, we always do include a link, as its the right thing to do. Earl works hard and deserves the credit for his hard work.

 

[Bob Nielsen]

Yeah, Earl (and Tom, etc., do a good job). I didn't catch that the first line was actually a link.

 

[tibber]

Thanks, Bob, much appreciated. While we do our thing at DBSTalk.com, we do it for all the DIRECTV customers everywhere.

Cheers,
Tom

How come the -100 isn't getting any love here?

Earl's said that the 100's usually don't get as many CE's as the 700 because the user base of 100 boxes is smaller then the 700's. That gives them a larger user base of CE testers but eventually the 100's get a CE onces most of the bugs in the 700 are corrected.

Stone,
Did your d/l appear to take an extra long time being hung up at 90% ?

Jimbo

 

[Brewer4]

I don't see anything in the release notes saying what changed.

I dont think anything is new other than fixing or improving what has changed. So nothing new, just improving what was modified/added from the last few CE's.
