On July 31st, 2002, from 4:30-4:35 PM PT, P165 was uploaded to my 501. Among the features (some pointed out by DDRio):

- Local Channel Mapping
- Dish button is now active, and brings up the home page.
* Tried the solitare game. Ug. It took me 12 minutes to complete a game, and I think that my thumb needs a band-aid.
* Tried out three-pointer game demo.
- New buttons added: Manage & Name Sort, Date Sort
* Name sort will sort by name, then by date.
- Manage allows you to protect, unprotect & erase various recordings at the same time.
* Manage events, if you have a password set, requires you to enter in the password.
- FIXED-Search. Now, searching for YUGIOH will bring up matches for the program name Yu-Gi-Oh!
- It now lists the number of events recorded.
- Cosmetic change for duration, event previously listed as 1 hr now listed as 01:00
- Sorry, no changes on the Timers screen. Maybe next time.

No word on the back-to-back bug, since I have not experienced this bug.

Overall impressions: The most noticable thing is the Local Channel Mapping and the Dish Home. Dish Home is nothing to write home about. I expected some of the apps to be cached on the hard drive for faster access. However, the minor improvements will be noticable. Now, to fix the timer screens.

More new features....

* Erasing a PVR recording brings up a confirmation dialogue box.
* There is now a customer service option from the main menu, but it isn't activated yet.

Oops..... if you are recording an event and press the stop button, the recording stops immediate without confirmation.

One new feature of P165 that I found out about is that if you select a program from the guide with the clock on it, it will bring up a event editing screen so that you can pad the timer with additional time.

Also, overnight, I selected four consecutive programs on two channels (It 175 and 176 if you really must know). I set the programs so that one program ran from 2-3a on 176, 3-3:30a on 175, 3:30-4a on 176, and 4a-4:30a on 175. All four programs recorded sucessfully as one-time timers.

Interesting. My bootstap version is 17BBDCED, but I got the upgrade. Interesting.

Heres a suggestion for a future upgrade. When you go to ch 9500 make it possable to use the up/down ch buttons to change channels. Having to use the EPG gets a bit annoying. BTW- still no upgrade for me yet.

You don't need to use the EPG, just hit the RECALL button and go back to the previous channel.

Mine's not here either. Do the randomize the order they send it out at all? Or am I always doomed to be last?

My girlfriend is confused because we have 165 downstairs and 154 upstairs. Wish they were synced by household or something....

Has anyone tried the History page on Search to see if an individual entry can be deleted?

Now Walter, you told me you wouldn't tell.:lol:

Darrell, the only button that can clear anything is the 'Clear All' button. So I guess the answer to your question is no, unless there's a less intuitive way to clear an individual entry that I haven't found.

Finally got it! I havent read all the threads on 165 yet, so Im sorry if it was already mention, but another update was up to 60x on FFward and REW, you have to hit the FF or REW button 3 times for 60X.
