6.3d appearing

underpaid · 04-19-2007, 07:40 AM

My HR10-250 have now 6.3d (6.3d-01-2-357) in the SwSystem.
Maybe a fix of the OTA problems...

old7 · 04-19-2007, 07:45 AM

Mine has it too.

Anyone have any idea as to what this revision does? Perhaps it will fix the issue with new programs not being recorded when the Tivo is full as opposed to knocking off the oldest show. That would be nice.

Should I be unplugging my telephone line??

kkluba · 04-19-2007, 10:45 AM

I tried to install 6.3d via slicer and had no luck..

naijai · 04-19-2007, 12:08 PM

revision is for ppv on issue on tuner 2 not able to be recorded

dthreet · 04-19-2007, 01:17 PM

hmm used slicer upgrade fine. just had to make a new install directory via tel-net. can't tell any difference, however I really wasn't expecting to.

What is your source for that information?

Where and why for the new directory?

I'm sure that was a priority fix as it generates revenue for DTV.

dasexton · 04-19-2007, 09:32 PM

Not THAT much of a priority. I went round and round with them over the inability to record (or even purchase PPV) over 2 months ago. They could never tell me what was wrong; eventually it seemed to fix itself.

Made phone call-pending restart-restart-6.3d.

Indiana627 · 04-20-2007, 07:07 AM

Regularly scheduled call this morning at 12:15AM and now I have 6.3d (completely stock unit that had 6.3c).

Same here, and 6.3d is also sitting on my hacked unit waiting for me to manually update it as well.

This update seems to have gone out fast.

alwayscool · 04-20-2007, 06:25 PM

I have 6.3d also. It cam down on 04/19/07 01:40

altan · 04-20-2007, 06:32 PM

Ugh. I've lost faith in DirecTV/Tivo's ability to deliver a non-messed up upgrade. Now I need to check if I have it. I'll unplug until I hear how it works (if I haven't already got it). Any early stability reports?

Haven't noticed any differences at all from 6.3c. Also, (I know you didn't ask but) from a hacking standpoint everything from 6.3c still works exactly the same as well.

Todd · 04-20-2007, 08:56 PM

I hope to god it's more stable than 6.3c!

earl really dropped the ball.....either they didnt tell him about this or he forgot about us again

Or because he is now more interested in the HR20, he doesn't care about the HR10 any more.

drew2k · 04-21-2007, 09:54 AM

Earl is a moderator over at DBSTalk.com, one of the forums in the AVS Family (just like TCF), so he's very busy.

He posted in a 6.3d thread at DBSTalk that he's trying to get information about the update, so you can either be patient and hope Earl pops up here with some info, or you can wander over to the DirecTV with TiVo forum at DBSTalk and check up on the progress there. Or of course you could just stay here and bad mouth Earl ... Your call.

not bad mouthing, just thought he would keep us in mind per his post and as he knew we had various issues with A/B/C, I thought he would have done near simultaneous postings. Even just to link over to dbs.

I guess my expectations are too high and he is only one person with limited time.

OK. Well, I've never had any reboots or audio/video issues since 6.3b arrived.

Earl has sent an email message to his contact and is awaiting a reply. I still do not know why DirecTV does not have release notes.

JimSpence · 04-22-2007, 06:47 AM

I suspect that release notes would just raise more questions from the TiVo Community.

I never did either until I finally took the plunge straight to 6.3c. I've had it lock up several times and reboot even more times in the past 2 months.

hybucket · 04-22-2007, 10:05 AM

On my HR-10, got 6.3d last night - the only thing it seems that it did was screw up my remote, so I couldn't get the guide to show until I went to channel 201 (the info channel) on both tuners. Then, I could get the guide. Weird.

You sound like a prime candidate for a Clear and Delete All. Many first-time 6.3x users had similar problems cured by doing this, which is essentially a reformat. The theory is that 6.3c may be using parts of your disk with bad sectors that were never used by 3.15, and you're now hitting them.

It's certainly worth a try, if you're all caught up on your recordings and don't mind re-entering your SP's. Before selling my HR10s, I did a C&D Everything on each one. It took about 4 hours to run, IIRC.

memory1 · 04-24-2007, 12:32 PM

I force a phone call today and HDTivo updated to 6.3d, no problems noticed

drew2k · 04-24-2007, 04:00 PM

On Saturday I activated a refurbished HR10-250 that I got under my protection plan to replace another HR10 that was dying. The refurb came with 6.3a and even after several phone calls, it refuses to upgrade to even 6.3b or 6.3c ... I'm wondering how long it will take to get 6.3d on this puppy ...
