External USB drives will not work, only eSATA. Lot's of conversation about this in the HD DVR forum.

Cool. Ya, I upgraded another one of my H20's to the H21, tried to force the new download but didn't work. A few minutes later, it asked me if I wanted to download new update. All working well.

I got the software update 0x43a8, it's working great. I'm using PowerLine connection and it's working good, including HD content. I hope this thing doesn't cost too much because it's great so far. BTW: HR20 and viewing content on H21. I'm located in Norfolk, VA

Still haven't found any users in NJ getting H23 MRV(found Boston and VA). Maybe you need to consider moving to LA.................naaaaaaaaaaaa!!!!!!:0)

Just wait. The update cannot happen until your receiver is cleared for it and there is nothing you can do to get it cleared early.

NEED HELP?
