  1. DIRECTV HD DVR/Receiver Discussion
    The biggest annoyance I get with the new release is bringing back old bugs - Stuart and Colbert were setup to record Monday night and did not - both had incorrect error code 29 saying cancelled by user. This was not the case. This old problem is back and only impacts Monday nights. Very...
  2. IPTV Hardware
    I use two Directv boxes and two PCs running Windows Media - I have a 30MB Optimum internet connection and do (rarely) see slowdowns when I have several IPTV streams active (or a Directv download and one or two Windows streams). This is likely just Optimum contention as users will see slowdowns...

    The serious problems with this NR continue - very slow remote response (or a total lack of response), box auto-reboots while recording shows, audio dropouts, hangs, pixelation, sound problems, missed recordings - last night during Pacific replay we had over a half dozen of these issues making...

    we have had problems every day for several weeks during at least one recording a day reboot splitting a show into 2 recordings with a lost time gap for the reboot - time to get rid of DirecTV - this is the worst NR ever - since 3/11 a whole mix of old problems returned, reboot was just one -...

    This is absolutely the worst DTV update I have seen and as a frequent CE tester I have seen some problem code - but this NR takes the cake. The HR21-700 is useless hanging several times a day - since the NR push early in March. Rebooting helps for a couple hours at max then you get frequent...

    Yes - to temporarily correct slow guide and scrolling and many other UI actions. Each reset lasts less than a week. Each reset does appear to help.

    Selecting Keep option for a recorded show had no effect for a recording made last night - pressing Blue button with show selected in the list does set the Keep flag as before. I have not seen this problem in any recent builds - my wife hit it the day after 312 NR went out and we recreated.

    2F5 remote response was not perfect but 0x312 is dramatically worse with regard to slow remote control behavior, missed keys, and double keys. The new NR went back to the BAD old problems with the remote from many months ago Recent CE builds were better than 2F5 but the NR 312 pushed out is...

    Start time out of synch was common up until 0x230 on my HR21-700 but has not been seen in last five days. Not saying it is "fixed" just that it is absent for longer than normal, longer than ever seen before, after a reboot.

    Audio stutter has occurred for HR20 and HR21 for last several NRs - it may have improved in latest NR rolling out but it is too early to be certain. The problem is sporadic and sometimes a quick skip or two will fix it and sometimes a reboot is needed. My experience is that a periodic menu...

    Note that on some few HR21 boxes the bottom port is the one you want to connect to your network, on most HR21 boxes the bottom port is the chain to next device with top port connected to your network. You will find considerable dialogue about this on this site.

    NRs have been less stable - there were several occurances (one on HR20 and at least two on HR21) where an NR regressed stability. Yes, there has been significant new functionality rolled out, but these are commodity devices and are expected to "just work". Audio drop outs, video artifacts...

    MRV is eagerly anticipated and one would expect it sooner rather than later from DTV based on when it was first talked about as well as the volume of chatter now
  15. DIRECTV HD DVR/Receiver Discussion
    Your problem is long standing and probably is dish alignment related. Unfortunately, the last NR - 022b has also caused this for some HR21-700 users - that new situation is a software problem. A CSR admited this yesterday but it has been apparent since this version was in early testing that it...

    Medium and Dexter have a pattern of late starts. Comedy Central has a pattern of late starts combined with ending funny (that means sometimes early, sometimes late).

    If MRV negates the need for DLB why does the thread continue - I have seen that argument and agree that anyone with multiple DVRs has much less need for DLB once they get MRV.
  18. DIRECTV HD DVR/Receiver Discussion
    This is software/firmware. If CSRs told some of you that you were unique that is simply not true. The pattern of software induced faults with the last NR and another one two back is obvious. Also, I was told differently by a CSR - they are hearing of problems. You should NOT have have to pay...

    Same lockup problem on an HR21-700 - but the lockup followed a series of other problems with recordings gone awry, and false 771 searching for signal errors. This is not new - when the box goes bad, the last step is sometimes a hang or delay in normal function that finally turns into a hard...
  20. DIRECTV HD DVR/Receiver Discussion
    The NR went in Tuesday and last night starting sometime before 23:00 everything in ToDo either recorded the wrong channel (this is a new problem for me), recorded gray/black, or did not record at all. And, yes, false 771 errors culminated the evening. Menu reset required to correct. Certainly...
