Nondocumented upgrade for Dishplayer?

[crkeehn]

About a week or so back, I noticed that the way the Dishplayer was handling reminders had changed. In the past, when I set a reminder, I would select the remind button and get a screen with two radio buttons, the lower being to switch to the selected channel/program. I could not go directly to that choice, using the up arrow took you to the top menu item first. Now when I get that screen, and use the up arrow, it goes directly to the lower radio button.

I don't see any change in either the receiver or webtv software to warrant this. do they make minor changes that are not reflected by new software revisions?

Both my DPs still go to the upper check box first, but when I drop down to check the lower box and then hit 'Done', I get a long delay before anything happens. Have you noticed this?

That was the way mine used to work. Now it goes directly to the lower box. I don't really pay attention to the resulting delay. I have been so used to waiting for it, I can't say whether it's any faster. I'll try it today and see what happens.

Nick, I just went back and set a timer for this morning. As I had mentioned, it allowed me to go directly to the switch channels selection. In addition, the response was MUCH quicker. Rather than clicking on continue and waiting for 4-5 seconds for a response, I got the Done button in less than a second. As I had said, I'm not aware of any change in software, my machine just starting doing it a week or so ago. I like it.:hurah:

Go to the system info page. Is the word "Leviathan" anywhere on it? ;)
