Try it in your computer as well as in a DVR.

I don know what that is, but Windows Update 10 did a 10 hour thing on Wednesday, and mine is doing all kinds of strange things, when I hit some keys/function keys that it never did b4.

This double post after the edit is just one of them, unless it is a SS forum thing.

Next time you notice the double post, delete the second while you can rather than commenting on it happening! :)

IMHO µSoft is a tremendous productivity drain when it decides to 'update'.

the trick to get the DVD to play on your computer is to click on the big words near the top of the start page. Had the same problem here.

I finally ordered my Power Pro from Mike Young Thursday. I bought the new assembled one. Price including tax and shipping was $1980. The price increase had not gone into effect yet at Lowes and I received the additional 10% military discount besides the show discount.

Also, the new Mark 7 machines now come with the holes predrilled in the legs for the premium casters as well as the regular casters.
