HR22-100 is left again.

Sorry, the HR22 is included, I just missed it. I updated the notes.

No problem. It hasn't been included for a few weeks so just figured it wasn't again.

 

[jcrandall]

Please note this CE will disable widgets, you will have to redo the keyword search WIDGETSON to re-enable them.

Also, the widget site received a facelift this weekend, and more users may be able to access widgets for their receivers now. Please see the widget thread for info on the site. We've been asked to delay until Monday to use the widget site.

02E7 is now in the stream.

 

[tsduke]

HR22-100 must not be in the stream I tried 3 times and no download.

I mentioned in previous CE threads that I was getting an audio crackle/pop between switching channels with my HR22-100 and Samsung 40inch LCD. This new CE version seems to have corrected that issue.

My Caller ID still does not work! It rarely ever has. In some of these CE's it works for a while and then the next CE it doesn't. Now it hasn't work for many CE's. Please fix this Directv!

Issues:

When show is paused and Screen Saver is on, the screen saver flashes to the regular screen of that paused show and then back to the screen saver. Happen after in screen saver for a few min, and occurs every min or so.

Switching between live tv from pre-recorded show is very slow and sluggish. Channel changing speed on live tv is faster, but still slow.

Widgets will not show up when pressing the right arrow button like it used too. I redid the "widgetson" keyword and still doesn't work. It doesn't make the bonk noise like I hit the wrong button. The light on the receiver flashes like it recognized it, but screen doesn't appear. Noticed the same problem on last CE also.

When hitting play on a recorded show when it was on paused, the picture doesn't start with sounds. The picture is still frozen, but the sound is playing and then it works correctly.

Slow response time when getting a pre-recorded show to play from the list. The first initial playing on a recorded show is slow on response time.

Guide and Menu looks Grainy and not crystal clear like it used to and should

Suggestion: Quicktune feature should display what is playing on the highlighted channel.

My widgets are still gone.

FWIW, I've had this issue for a while and I'm on the national release.

 

[srenker]

Searched for keyword WIDGETSON to reactivate widgets. Now, just like last week's CE, widgets don't come up with the right arrow, and after I try, any full-screen menu (guide, setup, etc.) has a black background instead of the D* graphics.

Sent report 20090316-1F79.
