I think I understand the need to adjust "inter-key delay" in order to speed up the slow default response times, but I'm still having a problem specifically with my 2 Echostar HD DVR's (ViP 622 & ViP 722).

There are no problems with turning on/off the DVR's. Associated activities start-up and shut-down appropriately and in a timely enough fashion.

My problem is with relatively slow, sluggish response either with channel changes or menu/guide navigation.

My current setting (for both boxes) are as follows:

Power on delay: 1500
Inter-key delay: 0
Inter-device delay: 500

I should also note that these are the same settings I had on my previous H688 and the response time was immediate/perfect.

I don't see how adjusting the power-on delay or the inter-device delay could rectify my issue (If I'm wrong, please correct me). My problem seems to be related to the inter-key delay, but I can't make it any faster than "0" can I?

I'm having the same issue between the H1 and my SA 8300HD.
I can adjust the interkey delay to 0 so that the unit comes on and is ready to go, but the menu scroll is very slow. Or I can up the Interkey from 0 to 100 and then the unit doesn't always come on, but the scrolling is faster.
Any direction from others would be appreciated.

Try decreasing both the inter-key and inter-device delays. You may be a victim of the infamous delay bugs (criss-crossed and/or sum of both delays).

On my 622 I have both the inter-key and inter-device delay set at 0.
I also have the number of repeats set to 1. Reducing the number of repeats really sped up the channel changes using favorites, so I think that's the key.

With those settings, I'm happy with the response time.

deja vu from avs, lol.

Thanks for the replies.

Girdnerg, as a result of your settings, do you have an trouble with the 622 not turning on with first attempt, etc.?

(sorry for the cross-post from AVS, but I guess it's still legal--heh)

No, with those settings everything works fine. The 622 is the most sensative piece of equipment I have. It'll respond with the remote pointed just about anywhere.

I wasn't complaining about the cross-post. I was confused at first because I could've sworn I had just responded but my post wasn't there. Made me go hmmm, I'm loosing my mind.

Want to 2nd Girdnerg's advice. After minimizing interkey delays with a DirecTV DVR, the only solution was to minimize repeats, enabling favorites commands to be completely received by DVR.

This sped things up considerably. Setting the repeats to 1 made the 622 unresponsive and the 722 unreliable. So I compromised by leaving them @ 2. Turning the inter-device delay to "0" combined with inter-key @ "0" made it almost as fast as the H688 was. I can live with this. Thanks.

I'm having similar issues with my Harmony 670 and a Pioneer DVD player. Can you tell me where I can adjust repeats? I see the Inter-key settings but not for anything about repeat settings. Thanks.

The "Number of Repeats" (now nameless) parameter is under Device > Troubleshoot > xx responds to some commands either too many times or only occasionally.
