I know the H10 hasn't been a hot topic in our forums.
But I know there are significant number of H10 users out there.

Staggered rollout started today 10/19/2006

How would I know if my DirecTv receiver has downladed an update?

 

[jsnwtlr]

Has anyone actually seen this update? I have two H10s and neither has been updated. I'm in Carrollton, TX near Dallas.

I'm very much looking forward to this update as both my H10s have been very unstable. I hope the update fixes the problems with these receivers. Otherwise, I'll be leaving DirecTV as soon as my commitment is up.

All I know is it is a staggered rollout... it could take several weeks until it makes it to everyone.

Wonder what version others are on. My H10 is 4.33 and it says it occured on Mon. 10/24 at 3:07am. Doesn't say which year?

I have not received this upgrade yet either (Indiana). I am still on 0.4.33 on both H10s.

UPDATE: I have now received the update on both units... so far, so good.

I was updated in the 3:00 hour this morning. Didn't notice any immediate changes. I'm hoping it fixes the following problems that I've had with mine:

1) Scheduler issues with back-to-back programs: if I tell the 1st program to start 1 minute early, it reports that the first program conflicts with the second program (???)

2) History: remembers only the first 25 programs scheduled.....no way to clear it & does not keep new history after the first 25 programs fill the slots.

3) Search....it just sucks PERIOD. I can search on an exact title, which it finds, but then reports no showings listed despite manually finding it at a certain time slot

4) "Service Not Available Temporariily": comes up at random with no reason, afterwhich all program listings clear & say "Upcoming:...."

There are others (smaller issues), but I can't recall them. I sure wish I could have found a Sony receiver when I was searching for a new one.

Are you referring to the H10 (non-dvr HD Receiver) or the HR10 (the TiVo powered DVR)

As I a bit confussed on the "scheduler" comments.... unless you are ferring to Auto-Tune scheduler.

 

[jsnwtlr]

Well, all it took was a post to this forum expressing my impatience. My receivers were updated to version 4.39 this morning at 2:31. Here's hoping it fixes the 'Service Not Available Temporarily' and random reboot problems.

Yes, the H10 non-DVR & sorry, I did mean the AutoTune.

And for the record, at around 6 PM EST, I searched for the program 'Bones' (Find By Title) on FOX tomorrow night @ 8 PM EST. The search did find the Title 'Bones', but when I clicked it for showings, I got the No Showings Listed.....same bogus crap & I can manually go to Wednesday & see it.

I've now had 2 DTV receivers & have been less than pleased at the operational problems with even the simplest functions.

Odd... not sure... I just tried it on my D10 and I got the listings.

One suggestion... EVENTUALLY all H10's will be replaced by H20's, because of the MPEG-4 conversion.

I bet if you call, you can get at least one of them replaced now (if not both)

 

[reubenray]

My Sony HD200 recently died and I am looking at getting a H10 from Ebay. Do you have to pay a lease payment for this receiver similiar to the H20?

Also would I get the software updates when I get it connected?

How good or bad is the OTA tuner in this receiver?

I am searching for the answers, but the bid for this receiver ends in 2 hours.
