While I have yet to see the 771 message on this release under normal use, I did have it happen under all other prior versions of the software and I can make it happen under 0xef. This could be an oddity with my configuration, but since all of you are seeing the 771 message I thought you might be interested.
Here is the script that can force my box to display a 771 message
-------------------------
I have been able to develop this script that allows me to create a 771 error message with about 80% or more consistency.
I have tested this with the following stations: HBOHD, SHOHD and MSNBC, each one will typically, but not all the time, come back with a 771 error message on HBO and SHO this will alternate between a 771 and every so often a 721 message will pop up. This may work with other stations but I have not tested it.
1. Start a recording (by hitting the R button) on any station but the one you want to test. On my last test of this I was recording G4, if you want to do exactly what I did make sure you change to G4 (354)
2. change to station 70, 71 or 346
3. Hit the (active) button
4. select weather
5. soon as your weather pops up use your down arrows and select done
6. hit the exit button
On my system I am guessing ~80% of the time I will get a 1...771 error message maybe some green macro blocking with some left over data from the interactive screen and if it is tuned to HBOHD or SHOHD no macro blocking and I may get a quick flash of 721 channel not purchased eventually it ending with a 721 message or eventuality tuning in to the programming. Once this happens I may have change the station and change back 1 or more times and then it will tune back in and I will no longer have problems.
FYI there have been a few times when this the that script worked as expected but I would say less than 20%.
This script was developed and tested on 0xeb, I don't know if I would of seen the same thing under prior versions. Under 0xeb I have only see the 771 error through executing this script, under the prior software it would pop up randomly when trying to record maybe 4 or 5 times over a 2 week cycle. I was always able to change the channel and go back again to clear the 771.
