What does clear all TV sites in one step mean?

That feature is for those that use the DishPlayer with WebTV service (MSN).

One feature not mentioned is the option to turn off the interactive tv banner. It's off by default. :)

I found a bug. :( When searching, if you press info on a currently running program, it gives you the information on the program that is on the current channel.

Also, in previous versions, you could do a search for, say CNN, and you would get all programs coming on CNN. This doesn't work in the new version.

One bug I noticed was fixed was when recording a program and watching a recorded program, in the previous version, it showed about half a second of the program that was recording when you pressed stop. It no longer does that.

Other things I've noticed in testing the new software is that in the channel setup, there is now two extra buttons: check all, and clear all.

Also, 7225000 now downloads a full 9 days of program guide.

I was watching my virgin Dishplayer 7200 this morning and backed up the program and the buffer was 1 hour now instead of the previous 30 minutes.

Last night I paused my DP and came back to watch the rest of Baseball tonight and the play back appeared jumpy. Has anyone else seen this?

This has happened to me before. But after pausing and restarting it worked fine. This was with the old software.

See ya

I've had as much as 3 or 4 hours of 'live pause' built up at times.. Hope this software update hasn't changed that.
