dtv did not release that particular update, all tivo service is handled by tivo, unfortunately dtv has to take the blunt of it because their name is on it as well
as someone who is now outsourced to dtv, i must admit that this is a known issue with tivo specific units. there is a simple remedy that resolves this for more than 90% of affected units, delete your season pass and recreate it.
they are probably counting locals to various areas as well as national broadcast.
oh, and by the way for you guys talkin about battery recall, that location would be the hdd or maybe the cpu, the recalled batteries, made between oct 04 and oct 05, were leaking and getting hot and even corroding contacts, but not lightin the notebooks on fire, still 3 out of 2.5 million sold during that time frame is not bad, but to prevent it, never configure a ultralight with more than a half gig or ram, only standard 4200 rpm drives(i know they suck) and monitor charging cycles, in other words avoid any dell less than eight pounds, or you will call every week with a heat issue that will not be acknowledged until your system starts up with error M1004 during post, dell's stance is either see this message or melting plastics, otherwise, you don't have a heat issue, i bet this owner was told the same thing if they called about it before it happened.
hey, you think the 410 is nutz, wait till you seethe problems the 420 has. i used to do tech support for these guys and we had three test D420's do the same because 2 of it's hottest components(battery and hdd) are in the same bay with nothing more than a thin strip of ***RUBBER*** (that is likely to melt) between them, and i have replaced dozens of 410's long before they reached this point.
what about my apex player that i only spent thirty dollars on and it plays ANYTHING IN THE UNIVERSE!!!!! will i have to trade that in, screw that. that thing has been my best friend since i moved to where there ain't no cable.
Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.
"I am looking for a device that will stream sound from one source to several recipients. For example, I want to stream sound from my TV or stereo to my phone or MP3 player that has radio and Bluetooth capabilities. I have looked into radio transmitters and they seem like a decent choice, but I can't find one that uses external power (USB or from the plug) and I would want one with a transmit range of around 50 meters. Thanks!"
