Is remote scheduling enabled yet ?

I did receive the upgrade on both HR20s today.

Does this mean 0x1FE is out on national release? So I should be expecting it over the next couple of weeks?

I've had the CE version but have had troubles connecting to the internet, so I'm hoping the national release is more stable.

It is released to all HR20 & R15, and some HR21 (still in rollout for HR21)

It is a 'staggered' release, they start on the west coast and work east. Can take a few days or a few weeks depending on how fast D* decided to do it.

Remote scheduling works for me with my hr21-700

As you get the 0x1FE software downloaded to your receiver, you can now use DirecTV On Demand.

For infomormation on how to setup / test / activate the VOD, click here:

You must WAIT for the 0x1FE software to be released to your box prior to trying VOD.

The remote Scheduling for my HR21-700 works fine after the CE release on Friday Night, 2-08-08. Prior to that the remote scheduing worked in so that you could click the button in the DTV guide on their website. You would get a confirmation via e-mail. But, the recorder would not record.

It is a nice feature and I use it from my office and watch when I get home.

My hr21-700 is showing an update of 0x206 received as of yesterday?

And I'm still having to do the soft reset once in a while or it'll lockup on HD content, either live or played back.
