DirecTV HR34 Cutting Edge (CE) discussion

Thanks, but I don't see the value in it. The idea is to know what will be available in advance to decide if you want to go ahead with the download. This chart, while nice, doesn't provide any information for someone who may be just looking for a new feature as was the case when the YouTube, Pandora, etc. features were added. If there is no CE for that week then someone doesn't have to stay up late (for those on the east coast) just to see if there is a feed.

Also, the reason for posting the info is also to encourage feedback from those who download the CE's.

That is why I posted it in this Topic And not in the General Section.

It's been completed for a long time. The CEs are for improvements and fixes and any new additions that may come along. Essentially, a beta. This thread is really for those that like to tinker with and tweak things to help test the product before national distribution.

Thus, there was no bubble to begin with.

I've never had a problem with any of the downloads, and a couple of times the CEs fixed some quirks in the HRf34. I did the download last week because my HR34 was getting a little buggy and a normal reset didn't solve the problem, but the CE did.

If you're hesitant, fine. This thread is for those that aren't.

Sorry, I started the thread, but it seemed no one had been following it for a while and I no longer have DirecTV and the HR34 so I stopped posting. When it started the HR34 did not have the new GUI so the CEs were more desirable and helpful.

If you want to use the CEs, you can get the notifications at satelliteguys.com or .
