HR20 / HR21 / R22 CE Release 8/8 0x0263

[jcrandall]

Finished and checked my HR20-700, no issues with my recordings, dates, times, etc. Everything looks normal.

Vurbano - my OTA stayed also.

Ok everythings normal now. Enough of this for tonight.

So you had to go thru your OTA set up again ?

I haven't had to do that in quite awhile, but at least it's fairly painless.
Good to see they are back again.

Everything looks good here. Guide and menu navigation is quicker.

 

[Harold]

all good. Widgets back.

So in essence, you could lose EVERYTHING by downloading this CE and needing to rollback. I know the risks are stated in the "Before to proceed" warnings, but geesh, that's a rough scenario.

 

[bkushner]

What happens on the next release? Will we lose everything recorded from this CE until then? In other words when would we be able to go back to a national release without losing programming?

That is a very good question. are we committed to ce's until the next national release?

i usualy run them all anyway but if for some reason we have to go back to the nat. release we could possibly loose 2-3-4 weeks recordings?

 

[bkushner]

Who's to say that you won't lose them on the next National Release as well.

This ce so far for me was the best. box very responsive. but a moment ago it suddenly rebooted itself. never happened before. hope it doesn't again. if it does i'll have to reset back to NR.
Still no widgets

That is not expected, just if you go back to the national release. I think it has something to do with the automatic adding of time (padding).

Still no widgets

Widgets is on hold for a few weeks, you may still get the coming soon bar, but no new developments past that. They are still working on the software prior to us being able to try it.

Well, I finally got my new box today(well, yesterday but I haven't been home), not sure I'll do this one or not but I want to do an update when I get home tonight and at least get it up the the national release.

Mike,
The National release will be what is downloaded when you do the initial install.

Rainy day so watched a lot of tv, recorded stuff, etc. Very stable thus far. Guide and menu responsiveness continues to improve. Like iv'e said, the difference now between the HR receivers and E's 622/722 in negligible... not worth making a fuss over at all.

 

[redmaxx]

I just completed an upgrade and I was surprised because I didn't start it until 2:50 Eastern. The menu responsiveness is much improved and I don't notice any other issues yet.
