| Dd anyone notice new firmware update? (DVR) Just noticed today that the settings for the DVR are a bit different today (ie - now says Manage Series Recordings instead of Series Manager).
Anyone notice this? If so, any new features or functionality that might be helpful? |
|
| Noticed the same thing. Havent really noticed any new functionality or features except the ability to export series data to the cloud. Not sure if thats new or just havent noticed it before |

More than likely not a FW update, Verizon has the ability to change the menus around w/o pushing out an update. Think of it as a webpage where you update the page and then all browsers see the updated wording (I know that's not what it is, but essentially the same idea). |

Yes. FWIW, my System Information says release 1.9.1, build number 14.47, data object version number 34.47. |

Correct. I'm looking into why this changed.

The export to the cloud thing has been there for awhile, the menu changes however are new. |

| I have noticed this as well.
Things I do not know what they specifically do, bc to me, they do the same thing: Fix FiOS TV Issues, Reboot STB, and Auto Fix MRDVR Issues.
To me, all perform the same task. Why have 3 of them, when one is enough?
Unless I am missing something they all 3 perform something more in depth, idk.
Any clarification on this , would be appreciated. |

| Webcobbler,
Fix FiOS TV Issues runs a troubleshooter for more in-depth problems.
Reboot STB simply reboots the STB without any attempted fixes, although it can fix problems like simple glitches.
Auto Fix MRDVR Issues runs a specific troubleshooter for Multi-room DVR issues. |

I did notice that "Scheduled Recordings" (what's set up to record) and "View Recordings" (watch what you've already recorded) are now quite a bit apart on the menu, making navigation a little more difficult, but why pick nits, huh?

My impression is that whoever sets up the menus (how the items are worded and their order) NEVER seeks input from us customers. They just throw darts at the wall. |

Funny you should say that. I worked for VZ for "many years". We often threw darts on our breaktime. Practice, maybe?

Yes, I have the same numbers, but also noticed a change in the menu items. I also noticed that my 7232 (I only have the one) seems a little sluggish starting about a day or so ago. Sometimes when I am using the remote's down channel button to browse channels the DVR doesn't see the signal. I can see that the power button does NOT blink. Simply sending another button press then works like normal. But it never used to do this. I used to push the down channel rapidly and it never missed anything. Also the new channel seems to take a bit longer to come up.
In summary, the whole DVR seems a bit sluggish than it was in the past. Anyone else notice it?

I'm in VHO4 with a 7232 and am seeing the new menu text and options on the DVR screen. That's the only menu I access regularly, so I probably wouldn't notice any other changes.
My box did not reboot over the past few days (I leave it on all the time), so this wasn't a firmware update, or if it was, it didn't require a reboot of the box. |

So what does "export series data to the cloud" do? I'm hoping it enables the cloning of series manager to a new dvr so we don't have to go thru the cumbersome add series process when we replace or add dvrs. But I don't see any options to download series data from the cloud.
Any ideas? |

You would see the option if you plugged in a "new" DVR, I believe.

Franklin Square, NY | If you go to System Information and press the Info button on the remote, you get stats on the channel you are watching without having to go to the hidden menu. |

I swapped out a DVR recently. Prior to swapping it out, I did export the series data to the cloud. When I hooked up the new DVR, it didn't have a menu option to restore it. I called tech support who had no idea what I was talking about.
So I decided I would start manually adding recordings in, and as soon as I took the steps to record a series, a window popped up asking if I wanted to restore my series from the cloud, and it worked perfectly.
