esata drive - slow response time?

[Steveknj]

OK, I bought a Phantom 1TB drive and it seems to work fine with my HR21-100. But i have a question. I am not sure if this is related to using the external drive or if this is related to the new update, but I have horrible lag time. I push remote buttons and nothing happens for at least 3-5 seconds, sometimes longer, it takes a moment to go from screen to screen. Trick play seems to work ok when I push those buttons.

If the slow response time is related to the HD, then I may go back to the internal drive until this type of thing is fixed.

I posted this as well in the esata thread. Not sure if this was proper for a new thread or not. Moderators, please advise.

Thanks in advance....

"Trick play seems to work ok when I push those buttons" - so that means no eSATA issue.
Try to do cold restart of the box (unplug it for 30 sec).

Thanks, that did the trick and now I'm loving the extra space.
