I have seen steady improvement on the software for the HR34. I do feel it should be further along after three months but overall it's improved. I still have intermittent issues when changing channels, where the box will just hang but then eventually change.

I also have some lag when scrolling through the guide, though not nearly as bad as how the first releases were.

So far, this latest release seems stable, but it's only been less than 24 hours.
 
Folks,

Is 0x548 supposed to have the HD guide? I entered IAMANEDGECUTTER into keyword search and still do not see the HD guide. I have confirmed that 0x548 has downloaded and loaded OK.

Thanks!
 
CE's have had the new guide for a while. Even the national release has the new guide on the HR34 now.

I refuse to call it the HD guide since I don't see anything HD about it.
 
So far seems the best to date. There seems to be an improvement in the overall speed of everything. Its a step in the right direction :)
 
One issue I have noticed is that with this ce from 3/30, I can't schedule recordings from the directv Android. My hr24 schedules fine but not my hr34.
