I've been doing software development for years and that is what I do for living. Granted I haven't worked on CE device but wouldn't be different, different compilers and debuging tools but that's about it. From your post, I don't think you have a clue on programming. Like others have said, the box already stores other info, why not re-use that for the weather zipcode.jonaswan2 said:Well, it has been this way since the D10-100, so I don't think it's quite as easy as you think. Unless of course you want to be an interactive software developer at DirecTV and develop the means to do it yourself. I mean Java (or whatever the heck they use) couldn't be that hard for a first timer on a CE device.
Default zipcode in active channels
Everytime HR20 box resets, the zipcode defaults to CA. Why can't they pick it up the default zipcode in the satellite setting option? This is a pain I have to type it in once in a while. It's not a really big deal but it's doable and they have no clue...

Wow! If they really take that long, I rest my case! The info is there and it only needs to set it to the default zip instead of El Segundo and it wouldn't take longer than miliseconds! It only needs to get the data stream when user press active channel button...jonaswan2 said:Because it may take a LONG time for an interactive application to pull something like that up if it's on the receiver. I wouldn't want to wait over a minute just so the application can look for/store my zip code after every reset or whatever.
