[mike1973]

Just got home, just read this, just pee'd myself a little!!!!! Downloading now!

 

[DJ Rob]

I downloaded this CE on one of my HR21-100 receivers. MRV works great accessing my other HR21-100 that is still on the national release and recording an HD program. I've seen a few glitches but it is working.

I downloaded CE software on both of my recivers My living room and my daughters room. I have my bed room that I will do tommorow night. I do have a network that I will be running in the next couple of weeks. All wireless N with 4 wireless N bridges. I cant wait to see how this is going to work. I have 4 areas on my house that I will be running cat5e to wireless N bridge... Then wirless n to the router.. and off to the cable modem .

Never mind, working fine now with the down arrow. Might have had a case of arrow dyslexia

What is MVR and DLB?

 

[Blackhawk131]

what does that toggle tuners do in one of those pictures? Sorry for the questions.

What is MVR and DLB?

MRV is Multiple Receiver Viewing (lets you share programming between receivers ) and DLB is Dual Live Buffers (let's you toggle between tuner buffers)

lets you switch between tuners, and you can rewind on each...

Feel asleep so downloading now. Never thought we would see DLB. Its been talked about at nausea at the other site for years. Might have been the reason why it was unstable last weekend CE.

Actually MRV is Multi Room Viewing.

So the really cool part is that we have two 90-minute buffers that both buffer while in standby mode! I got to catch up on the news and Sportscenter when I woke up this morning.

DLB is cool, however IMO it would be cooler if it switched tuners everytime you changed channel so your previous channel is always recording. That is the way I usually watch tv. And then way an option to lock on a channel and not change the channel on the tuner. That way I dont have to always manually do it.


Anways, overall this CE seems faster or back to normal. I can change channels now, before I would have problems with the tuner lagging. The recordings playlist is still a little slower than the national release for me.

Reported at another site:

Interesting side effect of DLB, you can keep track of 4 channels.

Tune to a channel, now tune to another. You can now PREV between the two on this tuner.
Swap tuners. Tune to another channel. Now you can PREV between these two on this tuner.
If you swap back to tuner 1 you can still PREV between those first two channels. It remembers all 4 channels.

 

[kanderna]

btw, they did a great job at implementing the recording options while using DLB.

Words to this effect:

You are set to record programs at 9:00 on both tuners. <then says what the scheduled recordings are> What would you like to do?
CANCEL 1
CANCEL 2
CANCEL BOTH
