DirecTV | 6.3b on HR-10

[gruxx]

I got home from family and found the 6.3b had installed while I was gone. I have yet to see if I have any Fox DD drops.

I'll report back with how Fox goes.

(Oh, and NFLnet HD is on channel 95. It's hit or miss with their programming, depending on when NBA games are on, but the Rutgers game should be on there tonight (12/28).)

Thanks for the update gruxx. I'm still waiting for 6.3b to hit my H10. Fox OTA has been pretty solid for me. I'm hoping it helps the frequent signal drops I experience on CBS and audio drops I experience on NBC. Keeping figures crossed...

Wierd thing happened today... When I got home from work I turned on my HDTV and receiver to find that there was no picture or sound. My H10 was powered (green light & drive was spinning) but there was no signal coming from it. My first though was "Oh !@#$%, my H10 is dead." The last 2 times this has happened the drive has died. :mad:

I cycled the power and luckily the unit came up normally. :rolleyes: I was hoping the maybe it just got stuck during a 6.3b install but unfortunately it still says I have version "a" :(

Apparently, there's a lurking overrun in the /var/log files that people have noticed with 6.3 "a" and "b" the log starts spooling rapidly and people report this:

I got 6.3b last week. 2-3 days ago, I turned my TV on to find the HR10 frozen. After I reset it, it played fine for about 30 minutes, then re-booted on its own. It hasn't happened since, unless it happened overnight...

If you've "opened the drive" you can comment out the log file via:

In /etc/syslog.conf change the line,

From:
local0.info;local0.!err -/var/log/tvlog

To:
#local0.info;local0.!err -/var/log/tvlog

I haven't noticed the reboots that many are talking about. But I'll keep my eyes peeled for this one as well. This might be what you saw Gimpy.
