First check what version you have prior to starting, you might be on the latest and not even know it. From the HR - Hit MENU - Settings - Info and test - Genie Info

CE (beta) software is generally released on Friday night and Saturday nights from 11 PM ET to 3:00 AM ET. - Last Beta was 0X1210 and they often will take a few weeks off these days

Monday to Friday 3 AM ET to 7 AM ET is the latest non-beta release (0X11B2), after 7 AM ET the software stream goes back to 0X11B1 which is known as the national release. Older GUI is gone as of 5-17-18, can no longer downgrade to it, sorry.

Note when upgrading to CE firmware (Friday and Sat 11 PM to 3:00 AM ET) carries some risk and as with any beta it can either delete your recordings or brick the receiver. With that warning said this has not been experienced by anyone with any of the latest releases but again must warn you.

TIP: Quick version check (Hold down Select on the remote for about 10 seconds) and a system status menu will pop up.

System Slow even after a reboot?

Try this command from the search menu If you got this far down here is another secret command :)

Search for "CLEARMYBOX" from any client or HR and chose

This will clear out the data (not any recordings or settings)

WARNING: The Guide data will clear and download again, it will also clear all your 'ToDo's until the Guide gets repopulated which can take a few hours but usually much less. Note the HR receiver will reboot and will take a few minutes to come back up, just be patient.

This has helped many with slow scrolling in the guides or menus get back to normal. Also has helped a few other issues like freezing but mainly slowness. Sometimes just rebooting the HR once in a while clears that up too.

TIP: If your RF remote remote doesn't allow for the command to work try an older IR DTV remote to force the update. Also setting your remote to IR from RF will work as well. On the remote, Press and hold {MUTE} and {SELECT} until the light flashes three times. Then press Press 9 8 1 and {SELECT}. The remote will flash four times and should now be reset. This puts your Genie remote into IR mode, after just go into the menu settings remote and reprogram it to RF. You can also try hitting 000 then 0 2 4 6 8 has been said to work too if you are having issues.

How to upgrade the HS-17 - You have to unplug the wire for internet for a wired connection, then push the reset button and as soon as the white button comes on not until it comes on push add client on top until the white light blinks then let go and your off until it comes back up (finishes update).

If you are having issues with getting the logos or posters including on-deman working after downloading CE, enable this by doing a search for "IAMANEDGECUTTER" (type it and select it). then exit the menu, when you go back into the menu you will see "Misc. Options" at the bottom. This enables different backend DTV servers to and after a few hours the logos, posters and on-demand will return.
