6.3f received on SD-DirecTiVo

[Mark Holtz]

My HDVR2 rebooted sometime today. It is now at 6.3f.

I got it over the weekend. It has seemed to have corrected all of the problems that I was having before with the slowness in responding after you press a button. Thank goodness because that was pretty annoying!

Too bad this update came after I was already scheduled to be upgraded to HD next week.

Haven't had any problems yet that I've noticed; however, I got conditioned to avoid using it, so I haven't used it much since I got 6.3f.

Not too bad for DirecTV!

My HDVR2 rebooted sometime today. It is now at 6.3f.

My DVR80 reboots daily whether it has 6.3f or not.

ETA: The sucker rebooted @ ~ 4:30AM while I was watching a recorded show today. 6.3f has apparently done nothing to address the issue with this machine.

Anyone with a Samsung Tivo get the 6.3f update yet?

Well, I've noticed that since I've gotten the update, my R10 has frozen three times in the last month. Before that, I think it froze once in I can't remember how many years. This last time it froze sometime after Wednesday at 11pm and stayed that way until I turned on the TV last night at 11pm. That meant nothing recorded in the meantime. Checking the History, it listed shows that didn't record as failing to record due to loss of power.

This has happened twice to me this week as well. I too cannot remember this happening more than maybe once in the last 6 years.

Doing well with no reboots. It appears the TiVo is becoming trustworthy again.

Turned on the DirecTiVo yesterday and noticed the clock in the lower right corner was gone. That means there was a reboot sometime in the past few days. Scheduled recordings don't seem to have been affected. I hope this isn't the start of it all over again. :(

I have a Philips and the 6.3 update stopped my reboots...

There seems to be a 6.4a in the works.

From that linked thread, here's what's apparent in the update/ (Note: the person quoted used some manual techniques to install this release - not for the faint of heart. Everyone else will get it whenever DIRECTV/TiVo decide it's time, and your TiVo will self-install it.)


Okay... 6.4a-01-2-151 has been installed and is working. Almost no visual difference at all to previous versions.

Under Now Playing there is a Recently Deleted folder so you can restore programs you previously deleted.

Under Channels, the channel list now looks like the latest standalone software. You have a channel list where you tag your favorite channels instead of a separate menu item where you pick your favorite channels and channels you receive.

Under Recording, there is now an option for Overlap Protection which can be enabled or disabled.

Under Audio there are some new choices about how to handle Dolby Digital which differ cosmetically from 6.2a

Under Phone, there is no network option or network setup screen at all.

MRV does not work anymore. I retained backported drivers and I can still telnet to it just fine.

The 30 second skip feature can be toggled on and off as usual with Select - Play - Select - 3 - 0 - Select.

My Philips 704 died today. In the middle of the 17th hole of the Open playoff...won't boot.

after some 'net searching, and a little surgery - there's a 200 gig drive under the hood and I am back in business!!! Even better than before.
