So, who has firmware 1.9, permanently?

I'm not talking about beta test versions, but the real deal. This thread will help track the roll-out and should be helpful to those who should have it, based on others who have it in their area, but don't.

For the record, I don't have it yet, but I'll post when I do.

It's still just in beta until March, no one has it permanently

matcarl

No I don't have a link and will not try to look for it either, just take my word for it.

My, matcart, aren't we touchy, unhelpful and unrealistic?

The way the real world works, friend, is that when you make a statement of fact, as you did, if you don't back it up with evidence, you're considered unreliable. Without evidence to back up your statement it's nothing more than your personal opinion, which is no better than mine or anyone else's. In other words, you're guessing. Oh, and no I won't take your word for it, along with the rest of the reasonable world. Why should we?

@ guesses." I'm sure the community here isn't interested in your guesses either. That said, if you'd like to report when you get 1.9, we're all ears.

I have been seeing promos for 1.9 peppered into commercial breaks for at least 1-2 weeks. I would think they wouldn't run those until it was ready to go and being implemented.

We will probably see those 1.9 blurbs until just before Christmas, about when the current 1.8 img was released. Ok I will be optimistic. Perhaps mid to late summer or early fall. Smiley Tongue

It is what it is, and gets here when it gets here. Fasten your safety belts. Before the ride begins.

If you don't share my since of humour, than to bad.

Wow, we are usually fairly late in the rollout order, but jackpot this time! I will try to answer 1.9 questions as people ask them. It might take me some time to get back to you today, but I will tell you what I can about 1.9 feature questions.

Since the roll-out has begun I am assuming my NDA for the beta with Verizon is no longer applicable and will try to also monitor any questions for those just getting the 1,9 update. Please keep feedback (positive and negative) coming as those who have been in the beta test and lurking can still report issues to the development team (probably should post questions / issue in THIS THREAD ).

As for the drives, I have been using the 1 TB WD MyBook Avr expander since December and it is working fine (although I am not a Verizon employee and I don't speak for them officially). There are rumors that the 2 TB version might work, but the only confirmation I've had for certain is that 1 TB is the limit. Also keep in mind that the external drive's recordings will be married to the DVR on which they were created. You can't plug it into your PC and transfer (the video is encoded) and you can't switch it to another DVR (would have to re-format for new DVR).
