We have just published a knowledge article at www.tivo.com/dst that explains what effect DST will have on each of the various platforms, including the HR10-250. Here is what we published regarding the DTV units.
DIRECTV with TiVo Service DVRs are fully compatible with the new DST schedule as long as they are running the current version of software.
In order to install the new software, your DVR must be connected to a phone line.
If your DVR is not connected to a phone line, you will need to connect it and make a phone call to the DIRECTV Service.
How to Make a Call In to the TiVo Service:
1. From DIRECTV Central, select Messages and Setup
2. Select Settings
3. Select Phone
4. Select Connect to the DVR service now
The latest software versions are:
• DIRECTV HD DVR HR10-250 (HD): 6.3 (or later)
• Philips DSR6000, Sony SAT-T60, Hughes GXCEBOT: 3.5b
• DIRECTV DVR R10: 6.1a
• All other Series2 DIRECTV DVRs with TiVo Service: 6.2a
If you do not have a phone line, or your DIRECTV DVR is unable to install the new software, the DVR will continue to record all scheduled Season Passes, Wishlist recordings, TiVo Suggestions and individually scheduled recordings.
However, from March 11th through April 1st, 2007 several of the DVRs screens will display a time one hour behind the actual time.
This is a primarily a cosmetic issue and will only affect recordings scheduled manually. All automatically scheduled recordings will continue to record properly.
Here’s why…
All manual recordings (i.e. Manually Record Time/Channel) on the Series1 DVR rely on the local time. Since the clock for this model of DVR will display incorrectly for the three weeks of DST, all manual recordings should be scheduled to start an hour earlier.
Example:
Between March 11th and April 1st, 2007, if you plan to manually record a program from 8:00 am to 9:00 am, you will need to set the record time from 7:00 am – 8:00 am.
Quick Tip: If there are no recordings in this list preceded by the word “manual”, there is nothing further you need to do.
