That's not true at all. The changes that have taken place since January have made this a unit that is liveable. At least now it picks up 99of100 Series Links and other recordings. In January you couldn't even count on that. They have improved this unit dramatically. Now if they can only get the First Run versus Repeat issue solved I be one completely happy camper.

I agree.

I have had my unit since the week after they came out in November and can say that it's stability has been improving. But, i have never been a "power user" with no more than 20 or so SL's. I really symphatize with those who have had nothing but issues since day one.

First, I wanted to start by saying I'm newly registered, but definitely not new. I had my R15 since they first rolled out, but it hasn't been in active duty since February. D* sent me a Tivo to hold me over until I was satisfied, and finally after this update I have decided to reactivate. I have been lurking and waiting until there was an update that enticed me enough to jump back in, and the 30 second slip.

Does anyone have any definitive info yet on whether or not the series link issues have been fixed? That was my main reason for temporarily retiring the R15, so I sure hope it works better now.

Hope to help find those bugs!

Be careful, what you wish for::nono:

If it makes you feel any better I "padded" my receiver and my R15 decided to NOT record prison break AND 24. Both of which WERE in the TDL. I'm furious

See.

is anyone having a problem with the caller Id, It worked for a couple of days then stopped

 

[Earl Bonovich]

I moved your thread here, as it wasn't related to series links

As for your problem.

1) Try to delete the entries in your caller-id log
if that doesn't work
2) Restart the system.

CJ is right, this thing has gone haywire since this last release.
PLEASE PLEASE DTV gods...fix this soon! And I don't want to reformat, 'cuz I have 60 hours of unwatched stuff I don't want to lose.

Mine has actually stopped recording repeats, for what it's worth. ALL 20 of my series links or so are still there, just no repeats are being recorded anymore.

Set one up for Mythbusters on Discovery Channel. I bet you get a bunch of repeats.

Could the Tivo software run on the R15 platform (without, of course, relying on a total re-write port from the people who wrote the existing piece of garbage?

It's really sad. With this new update, we can't change any settings on exisiting SLs or re-org the prioritizer without hanging the darned thing.

I've called DTV. Teh tech acknolowdged the problems, and refunded my DVR fees to date.

Still, I'd rather have a working, 2 tuner, 100 hour DVR.

I'd like to have a 2 tuner, 250-500 hour MPEG4 HD-DVR.

I believe Linux will run on the STi5528 but it will definitely require a port of drivers and filesystem code.

And God knowing how tight that thing is.

For some reason my R15 didn't want to start recording the Suns/Mavs game tonight. It was in standby, I turned it on at 5:45 and there was a message that it needed to change channels at 5:30 to record the program. Perhaps that 5 minute message doesn't always default to "OK, Change". At least it was waiting for 15 minutes for me this time.

No, unfortunaetly, it defaults to "Don't record the program you told me to". Everytime (in my experience).

Has anyone else had this problem: I'm watching a recorded show and ff through the commercial (I just learned about the 30s slip and have to program my harmony remote to do it). SO I'm using ff and get to the end of the commercials and hit play, as we all know I go too far, the audio lags, and finally the show is running several seconds into the program. I hit rw (not the 6s, but the real rw) to go back to the beginning of the segment and hit play when i get there...but the show goes back to where it was playing before I hit rw. This has happened on multiple recorded shows.

Other than that - this forum has been really helpful and I'm programming my remote today so I can use the slip and 6s rewind thing.
