These nationwide rollouts take weeks, and weeks, and weeks.

Don't look for it within the next few days.

Can you force? I assume not since its "staggered".

 

[skihoodoo]

i forced early this morning but there are no way to know if it will work but you can try restarting and at the first screen that says wecome to directv press 02468 try early in the morning around 2 or 3 am pst

 

[yorktown]

You can't force it. You'll get it when they decide you'll get it.

Thats what i was thinking.

In another thread once a person even stated that if your DVR downloads the new update it won't reboot and load the new update until DIRECTV tells it to.

That's incorrect, the download happens during the boot up process, there isn't a download in the background and then reboot option.

 

[jcrandall]

You can try to force download, but if your receiver isn't slated for it yet you will get what you already have (assuming your not on a CE release).

Reboot, at the first blue screen press 02468 very deliberately.

It will download the software and reboot.

There is no software download "in the background". When DirecTV authorizes your receiver it will set to reboot during the overnight (3am or so) and download the new release. The only time you can speed it up is if your receiver has been authorized for the download "this coming night".

So essentially, the most you can speed it up is 18 hours or so.

Just an FYI, after you get the new software it will take two to three days for all the data in the guide to populate in regards to the cast and crew info along with the thumbnail pictures.

Chances are the CE tomorrow will override that update anyways .....
I would imagine it will be larger than 395.

 

[gadgtfreek]

Have not seen it on mine yet.

Need clarification

Is DirecTV increasing their prices in February or remaining the same?

 

[Marvin4255]

I'm new to the Forum chats, so where does one go to see the response to their questions or comments?

In the same thread in which it was asked. You can also have the forum send you an email when someone replies to the thread.

BTW, I'm still waiting for 0395.

I read somewhere that the price increase happens this year on 2/9.
Long thread over in the 'other' forum.

As it turned out, this weeks CE was a higher update than the 395 that is going out to all the current ones that are running the NR.

fwiw, the CE software is at 0x39e

 

[gadgtfreek]

I might have to jump on this weeks CE if I still dont have the NR by then.

You might be able to force this release if you are up late
I did both of my HR21-100's around 2am Mountain last night...


They seem to put it in the stream sometime overnight and pull it around 6-7am Eastern.
