I'd also like to point out that TVGos can can now be disabled if you would rather use the broadcasters PSIP data.]]>Apr 21st 2009 12:04PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/04/21/dtvpal-dvr-firmware-update-f206-finally-resolves-issues/http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/21/dtvpal-dvr-firmware-update-f206-finally-resolves-issues/
I am VERY glad they seem to finally be working and giving us a non-fee HD DVR route, but now I will be waiting a while longer and see what new comes out before the fall season. My fingers are crossed for a new AppleTV uber-box or an updated TivoHD.]]>Apr 21st 2009 12:23PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/04/21/dtvpal-dvr-firmware-update-f206-finally-resolves-issues/http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/21/dtvpal-dvr-firmware-update-f206-finally-resolves-issues/Apr 21st 2009 7:45PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/04/21/dtvpal-dvr-firmware-update-f206-finally-resolves-issues/http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/21/dtvpal-dvr-firmware-update-f206-finally-resolves-issues/Apr 21st 2009 11:09PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/04/21/dtvpal-dvr-firmware-update-f206-finally-resolves-issues/http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/21/dtvpal-dvr-firmware-update-f206-finally-resolves-issues/Apr 22nd 2009 7:08AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/04/21/dtvpal-dvr-firmware-update-f206-finally-resolves-issues/http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/21/dtvpal-dvr-firmware-update-f206-finally-resolves-issues/
The only nagging issues seems to be that TVGOS TVGuide data has been down in Atlanta since about the time of the voluntary switchover in mid February.

Also, about a week after updating the firmware I suddenly have no program data on just one channel! This is 11Alive in Atlanta the local NBC afficliate. It could be a problem with the station having problem with their PSIP data transmission I suppose.

Other than those issues which are probably external to the device I am very pleased with the F206 update. Before the update I had multiple reboots each night.]]>Apr 22nd 2009 9:00AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/04/21/dtvpal-dvr-firmware-update-f206-finally-resolves-issues/http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/21/dtvpal-dvr-firmware-update-f206-finally-resolves-issues/
If it continues to work out, this unit will have answered my prayers for an OTA HD DVR. Now how about a little competition for DishNetwork to encourage future support and enhancements of this awesome product. I would love to see more subscription-free HD DVRs enter the ring. ]]>Apr 24th 2009 2:55PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/04/21/dtvpal-dvr-firmware-update-f206-finally-resolves-issues/http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/21/dtvpal-dvr-firmware-update-f206-finally-resolves-issues/
TVGOS is also a sore spot in some locations where less than 100% of the received channels have data. This may be multiple problems. Some of the missing channels appear on other TVGOS devices indicating a problem on the DTVpal. Other missing channels don't appear on other devices either indicating a TVGOS issue - make makes this worse is that support for the TVGOS (from Macrovision) appears to be non-existent.
