I couldn't figure out where it "links from", In other words, it's hopefully not an orphan link. Where is there an option to select "series manager" other than that direct link?

I think it's more a sense of loss because there's currently no delayed and painful slow roll out in process to whine about.

if it's 1.9.2 it denotes a minor upgrade whereas if its 2.0 it signifies a major one...you're right though, now that everything is running smmothly I guess it's best to let sleeping dogs lie

I may have signal issues but the glitches got worse with 1.9.1 for me (hardly ever had them prior to 1.9.1). Perhaps the tolerances in the software got lower. Who knows.

Just because nothing has changed inside your house doesn't mean that nothing is wrong with your signal...if people are not reporting widespread issues in your area, then it might be worth your effort just to have them come take a look.

Re: Choose the MRDVR to record a program?

Tue, 10 Jul 2012 11:09:09 EDT

nascar posted : It is box dependent...

On a DVR - It will always schedule/record to that DVR first unless there is a conflict. It will then offer another DVR. If there are conflicts then only a "set reminder" is presented.

On a non DVR - It will offer to schedule/record on any DVR with no conflicts. If there are conflicts then only a "set reminder" is presented.

said by DAVIDGR:

In the runup to the release of 1.9.1 I seem to recall that a new feature was that if we had the MRDVR we'd be able to select which box to record a program on. I can't find that option now, but I do have the ability to record a 3rd program on a different DVR if 2 programs are already scheduled on the first DVR.

Not really a big deal, but it might be useful. Anyone know how to do this?

jpeezy13 posted : No I have not done so, because I never experience any video/audio glitches prior to 1.9. After that update, it was quite apparent, as others have noticed, that watching shows is very difficult. It always seems the glitches come at an important part of the show, and they are noticable on every station.

After we got 1.9.1, it seemed to us (my wife and I) that the glitches were completely gone. For a week it was nice to watch a program all the way thru without any issues. Then we got some type of "soft update" roughly a week after the 1.9.1 update, and the glitches returned.

Have you put in a service call to check your signal levels/wiring? It might be worth your time.

The "soft update" you refer to might add some new menu features but would not change something as core as how video is processed/streamed.

after using 1.9.1 for over a week I am glad to see that the video/audio glitches are indeed gone...that was the single biggest annoyance ever...could not record or enjoy any program with those glitches which would sometime interrupt important scenes and conversations...would have to record the same show multiple times to get a relatively 'clean' show

have also somewhat adjusted to the new Guide/Menu colors...still prefer the previous 'brighter' colors but this is not too big of a deal...hopefully they will give us a color layout option with IMG 2.0 or 1.9.2

Yes, the white lettering is a little blurry, like they're now almost too bright compared to the rest of the dark background. Otherwise I think the colors are good.

Actually if your display is adjusted properly, there should be no fuzziness to the graphics. Try bringing down either your contrast or brightness a bit.

Two current workarounds:

c) select Upcoming Shows

d) press > (right arrow)

e) select a future dates showing

f) Info screen is displayed then user can select Record

or

#2

a) find the desired future dated show in the Guide (time consuming if show time unknown)

b) press OK or Info

The show I have as the highest priority (first run only), in the Series Manager, is not recorded in favor of a show that is #11 (First run and repeats)

Anyone else notice this ?

BTW, overall very pleased with the upgrade and thanks to nascar for his detailed list of changes/features. As far as the color scheme, weve been watching Wimbledon and they're using almost the same scheme.

She has a 6416 and I have a 7232. She has MRDVR and I have just a single room DVR. Maybe some of this matters...just putting it out there.

Seems to have self corrected. Not having the issue now. Still get the stacato voice on most of WealthTV. One show will be good, then the next show is not. Same for the commercials. Some are fine, some are not. Just on two of my six STB's. Going to have to call tech support on this one I guess.

I can not set a recording to that. All I am given is the option to set a reminder.

1.9.1 Build 14.47 New Features:
20. DVR - Select a program to record and it will only record on the DVR that can record without conflict. If there is a conflict then the program will set the reminder on the DVR. So yes, this will look at your DVR’s and determine the one it can record on.

This is a great feature, however, they didn't take it far enough. That option works when you're recording individual shows manually but NOT with "series". If you try to set up 3 different series at the same start time you get the old yellow triangle telling you there's a conflict. No other DVR available option :(

Unless I'm missing something here.
