This is the discussion thread for all MPEG-4 DVRs, software versions 0x0254 and 0x255.

Release notes:
HR2x (0x254) - http://www.dbstalk.com/showthread.php?t=133236
HR21x/R22 (0x255) - http://www.dbstalk.com/showthread.php?t=133238

Please feel free to discuss all aspects of this release in this thread. However, while a certain amount of ranting is expected, forum rules are still in effect and we ask that you refrain from personal attacks and statements you cannot defend.

...and before anyone asks, there's nothing different between 0x0254 and 0x0255; they're just for different receivers. 0x0255 is not "newer."

0x0254 is for HR20-700 and HR20-100.
0x0255 is for HR21-100, HR21-200, HR21-700, HR21Pro, and R22-100.

I have an HR20-700 with 0x254 as of this morning. The first thing I checked was my To Do list, and some of the list was not there anymore. I did a search for the missing shows, and they can't be found. Is this a re-population issue?

Missing are:
1) Saving Grace
2) The Closer
3) The Cleaner

 

[Stuart Sweet]

It's possible that the to do list will populate fully in the next 24 hours.

A new software download leads to a unit restart. It takes a while for all the program guide data to repopulate - it loads the first day's worth or so right away, but the rest dribbles in more slowly.

 

[r0b0tic]

Sounds about right. It was strange because some were there, and some not. I'll give it 24 hours.

So why are we receiving a new national release so soon?!? I got this one early this morning on my HR20-100, about a week after the last national release.

 

[Stuart Sweet]

Minor changes were required to the last national release.

Interesting. The firmware site:

http://www.redh.com/dtv/index.php?r=HR20

still shows 235 to be the current HR20 national release. The HR21 site does show 255 as the current release.

Checked my HR20-100 and it has 254 so something is wrong with the site above.

HR21-700 - It works - nevermind

 

[tvjay]

Got 0x0255 this morning and boy is it an improvement! Everything is faster. The only problem I have is that I had to go in and turn off the new notice feature. That was annoying! As for loss of guide data, mine appears to be fine. My to do list is still the same as it was last night.

What is the "new notice" feature?

Similar to what others have reported. System will not respond after pressing PAUSE. Happens frequently, but not consistently.

Did not have the national release or previous CE on this box. Updated from 248.

Also--I have 4 HR20-700s. This occurs (so far) on only one of them.[/QUOTE]

Happened again, on the same box, this time on a recording (SG Atlantis). Prior incident was live TV.

Issue: Pause program, system locks up; remote unresposive
RBR restores normal operation
Model: HR20-700

Found my HR20-700 locked up this morning, although it updated to 254 overnight. So I can only assume that it locked up AFTER the update.

 

[Stuart Sweet]

Folks, this is not the issue thread. If you have issue, please post them in the appropriate issue thread.

0x254 is on staggered release and is very likely on Tp31 (I didn't check this morning). My Tp31 connection is down at the moment.

Thanks for the clarification....shows how dependent we have gotten on that other site of yours.

What is the "new notice" feature?

There is a pop-up that says something like,

This show will record. For more information press the info button. To record this show as a series link press record again.

 

[JerseyBoy]

What is this new feature called "Triple Tap support"? I looked at the search for shows screens and they did not look any different to me.

When you are in a search screen, you can tap the numeric keypad for the letters, just like texting on a cell phone. 2 = A, 22 = B, 222 = C and so on. Once you get used to it, it should be easier than scooting the cursor over the letters.
