Hello everyone,

 

I am looking for a little advice on my recent HDRV2 upgrade. The route that I took was to first install ICAKE-S2DT-311e (Purchased the wrong one, my stupidity) and then let it upgrade to 6.2. After it was upgraded, I then installed PTVnet-S2DT-62. I selected all of the defaults except for disabling the phone requirements. After reading some more articles and realizing that want to apply the Superpatch down the road, I wanted get some idea what the best course of action would be. From what I can tell, the cleanest, but definitely most time consuming would be to rebuild using the method above and selecting to disable phone requirements when asked. The other that I am not certain about would be to use flag_swap PHONE. From what I've read in this thread http://www.dvrplayground.com/forum/thread/10959/, some people got a pesky message that they have not made a call in 14+ days after doing this although a solution was offered to them and they never posted a follow-up. I also am hoping that by doing this, I will still be able to keep my phone line plugged in for the Caller ID function.

I appreciate any help you can give as I am anxious to try out the features in the superpatch.

Just re-run PTVnet (no need to reload InstantCake).

HR10-250, Samsung SIR-S4120R, SIR-S4080R, 2 Philips DSR704s (one connected to a Slingbox A/V). One box used the "Zipper"; rest used PTVnet to enable networking features.

Thanks Yog-Sothoth. I'll give that a try.

Yog,

 Tonight I followed your advice and everything worked as expected. Thanks again for the direction. I did run into a problem while performing the superpatch upgrade in the Enabling MRV and HMO with a DirecTiVo article but I have added my questions in that thread.

 

Thanks again for your help.

Did re-running the PTVNet blow away all of your recordings?

PTVnet has no effect on recordings.
