No, but even if I did, I think the benefits of the 721 including NO monthly fees far outweigh the negatives. If you want a bulletproof no fee box get a Tivo or a Dish 501/508. I prefer the 721 over all the others listed in this post.
721 - anyone else see these bugs ??
Hello,
I purchased a never used 721 on ebay and I've been pleased with it so far. Hey - better late than never.
I've experienced two bugs that I was surprised are not fixed in a "mature" DVR. The 721 has the latest L322 software.
1) The infamous "jump to live" bug that was the subject of much celebration when it was fixed in the 501 years ago. I'm surprised to see it now in my 721 - particularly when it has two tuners.
For the newbies, the "jump to live" bug is when you are recording a program that you are also watching "delayed" at the same time (from using pause or start-over). Right at the moment that the recording finishes, the receiver jumps ahead to live.
This is especially odd with the 721, since it should be recording the program on a different tuner than the delayed viewing. I've encountered this bug twice already.
2) Some of the "Weekly" timers that I have created, will mistakenly record every day at that time and channel. I've encountered this bug three times already. I think that in each case, I have edited the timer to remove the 3 minutes extra at the end.
Has anyone seen these bugs while using their 721 ?
