I knew the HR10 would never get 6.2 - it would be called something else.

Here's kind of a problem... "Just make sure your receiver is continuously connected to a land-based phone line and we'll do the rest!"
Crap... I'm going to have to figure out a way to get this damn thing plugged into a phone line..

That's odd. It reads like they are sending this 6.3 upgrade to all Series 2 DTivos with the exception of the R10. But then further down the page it says "We're upgrading your DIRECTV HD DVR as part of your normal DIRECTV® DVR with TiVo® service at no additional cost." I'm wondering if they forgot to change the wording from the 6.2 upgrade notice. I sure hope this 6.3 upgrade isn't going to affect non-HD Tivos. But either way, it sounds like great news for the HR10-250.

Quick question
Will connecting the phone line and accepting the 6.3 undo any previous "modifications" that have been done to the HDTivo?

If you've done many modifications, one of them probably includes "UPGRADESOFTWARE=FALSE" in your bootpage, so the update won't happen automatically for anyone in that situation. But if you change the bootpage to allow the upgrade, then your hacks will be disabled. There was a pretty easy to follow process to do the upgrade and keep your hacks installed when 6.2 came out for the SD DTivos, so I would imagine the same could be done this time.

I'd wait until it's actually deployed so people can post their experiences.
Fantastic! This is all I can ask for. Of course, it would be nice if 6.3 addresses the audio dropouts and freezing. But, the speed is my major complaint so it's good to know that's being addressed.

Not if one of the "modifications" you applied was the change to make it not install upgrades.

yup, if we knew exactly when the update was coming, it wouldn't be such a pain.

The usual recommendation if you have "modified" your TiVo is to set UPGRADESOFTWARE=FALSE, wait for the upgrade slices to appear on the system, and then hand-install the upgrade. I have never done this - but there are general instructions in "the forum that shall not be named here" where hacks are discussed and I'm sure that, when the time comes, details on installing 6.3 will be offered there.

Maybe the discussion about the 6.3 upgrade should be moved to the new thread about it ?
By the way, it's pretty cool that we can answer the question posed in this thread title with a resounding, "No! The HR10-250 will never get the 6.2 update." And all I can say is, Woo Hoo!

Nope. I just didn't look high enough up on the page to see that it had already been posted. I shoulda guessed someone already beat me to it.

Just to re-post the post that started this thread (on 05-17-2005!)
"Will the HR10-250 EVER get the 6.2 Update ??
CrazyFred, ,
You were right on the Money about the 6.2 upgrade starting may 16th. Thanks for letting us know this information.
The Only problem Im having now is with the Update to my SD-DVR40
and SD-DVR80 is Now my HR10-250 is Really Really SLOW!
I know they will start swapping out the HR10-250 near the end of this year for the new MPGE4 receivers, and I will be probably one of the first to get swapped out (NY is market #1)
But I need a Speed increase for the HR10-250 NOW!!!.
It has become "disgustingly" slow. It took me nearly 5 minutes
when scheduling a season pass for the "please wait" to clear the screen.
Since we paid so much for our HD-Tivos the least D* can do is let us ENJOY the next 6 months or so with a faster more Efficient HD-Tivo
From what Ive read on various forums its believed that D* has the Update for the HR10-250 ready to go but they are waiting out the SD update.
Is this true CrazyFred ??? If so are they still planning to send the update soon ???
Any Information will be Greatly Appreciated
Thank You. "
____________________________________________________________ _______
Notice the part about DTV swapping out the HR10-250 for the MPEG4 unit "towards the end of the year"?? (that was end of 2005!)

I'll have two Series 3 SA HD Tivo for OTA HD before DirecTV releases 6.x for the HD Tivo.

Another blast from the past (January of this year).

I guess technically...... I guess the answer to this thread is:
No..
The HR10-250 will never get the 6.2 update.
It is getting the 6.3
I make a request... please no gang piling on anyone... that is not good for the forum or the community. Everyone had their right to their opinion, based on their experience and the information they had.
Some people where right, some where wrong... And technically... I was wrong too... I did say the end of June 2006.
But regardless, between the official confirmation from DirecTV yesterday regarding the HR20-700 (Fall of 2006), and today's Official confirmation regarding 6.3 for the HR10-250...
And last weeks release of an update for the R15, and new locals in HD and some RSN in HD...
This has been one heck of a last 14 days for DirecTV.
So MODS... can this thread bee official closed, as the question has been officially answered.
