I received the 1.6.2 in So. Cal. on 4/14 as scheduled and I now have a problem that I never saw on 1.6.0. On various HD channels, I will get a momentary loss of video and audio. Usually lasts for 2 - 3 seconds. When this happens I get a black screen and zero audio. Anyone else seen this 'feature' with 1.6.2 ?
Yeah, that has happened to me 3 times that I have noticed. Mine was updated April 7.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-162-Upgrade-Thread-22246959 Thu, 16 Apr 2009 13:47:34 EDT Re: 1.6.2 Upgrade Thread http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-162-Upgrade-Thread-22246775 said by vz cool tech:

Ha, like I have any control. Complaining to me about the patches is like complaining to the janitor of a school about the educational system. :P

That said, there were some issues not addressed by 1.6.2 and, hey, some minor problems caused by 1.6.2 which are to be fixed by the next patch. I personally have heard of no additional patches coming before 1.7, but that doesn't necessarily mean that there aren't any. ]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-162-Upgrade-Thread-22241053 Wed, 15 Apr 2009 14:06:59 EDT Re: 1.6.2 Upgrade Thread http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-162-Upgrade-Thread-22240621 said by joe01880:

Did notice successful elimination of "stutter" on the skip key, as well as indication in DVR listings of how many items are in each folder (as applicable).

Don't really care about a one-channel mini-guide either way, since I rarely use it.

Also noticed that self-diagnostics came up successful on the DNS parameter, which hasn't been true for a long time. No idea on that one.

Summation: I'm good w/ 1.6.2. Hope you fortunate HDTV owners are, too.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-162-Upgrade-Thread-22233237 Tue, 14 Apr 2009 08:28:50 EDT Re: 1.6.2 Upgrade Thread http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-162-Upgrade-Thread-22233230 said by PJL:

[The problem I am having now is I get a blurry picture during ballgames when the guys are running around. When nobody is doing anything the picture is fine. But when a guy is moving across the screen the picture blurs up a little right around the guy. Then when he stops it's back to normal.
What you are seeing is most likely pixelation due to insufficient bandwidth to accurately reproduce the fast motion. However this probably is not Verizon's fault. Are you watching the ballgames on a local station? If you are in range and used your antenna, you would probably see the same problem. Has your station recently added a new subchannel? Bandwidth is shared and this would result in less available for the original channel. If you are seeing this on an SD channel, it could be that since it is marginally sharper now that you are now able to notice it versus before when the blurriness disguised it.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-162-Upgrade-Thread-22229921 Mon, 13 Apr 2009 16:21:26 EDT Re: 1.6.2 Upgrade Thread http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-162-Upgrade-Thread-22229767 said by kirk1233:

I have 1.6.2. It actually made SD worse on my TV (and I barely watch any SD) and also made HD worse (which I watch a lot of.) I would rather revert back (too bad we can't pick our own firmwares...)
My SD picture I think is about the same. The problem I am having now is I get a blurry picture during ballgames when the guys are running around. When nobody is doing anything the picture is fine. But when a guy is moving across the screen the picture blurs up a little right around the guy. Then when he stops it's back to normal. Wasn't like this before the update. I'm still having a problem with freeze ups on FSN. Happening frequently. I've tried resetting the boxes and the router with no success. I'm going to call them and see what they can do about this. It's not my setup because my setup hasn't changed since I got this back in September and it's only been doing this the past couple of weeks that I've noticed.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-162-Upgrade-Thread-22229767 Mon, 13 Apr 2009 15:53:52 EDT Re: 1.6.2 Upgrade Thread http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-162-Upgrade-Thread-22228355 http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-162-Upgrade-Thread-22228355 Mon, 13 Apr 2009 11:42:43 EDT Re: 1.6.2 Upgrade Thread http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-162-Upgrade-Thread-22228225 http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-162-Upgrade-Thread-22228225 Mon, 13 Apr 2009 11:19:42 EDT Re: 1.6.2 Upgrade Thread http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-162-Upgrade-Thread-22227742 said by GMFTECH:

Has anyone experienced a decreased color pallet from your STB or DVR?
You know what, I have been noticing the same thing recently. Yesterday watching the Masters, I noticed shots of Tiger where the image of him was totally dithered and the colors were distorted. I think it tends to show up more on darker or less lit scenes, but I could be wrong. I have the same setup attached to a Samsung HLS-6170.

A) Provide a user configurable setting for how many lines the mini guide will display, 1-5.

Or

B) Bring back the 3 line mini guide. Allow that to be accessed by pressing the up or down arrow. Allow the current one line mini guide to be accessed by pressing Ok to bring up the channel info, and then using the arrow buttons.

I agree that it would be nice if you could go back a couple of hours to see if you missed anything. You can do that on the guide on the FIOS tv central website, for what it's worth.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-162-Upgrade-Thread-22213278 Thu, 09 Apr 2009 23:01:02 EDT Re: 1.6.2 Upgrade Thread http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-162-Upgrade-Thread-22213201
I can see why some ppl don't like the 3-channel-at-a-time mini-guide; it takes up almost half the screen.

Me? I didn't mind it, in favor of seeing the "surrounding" channels in an "instant" glance.

One thing I wish they'd do to the guide (besides reaming the provider for being flaky at best), is allow us to surf at least one hour backwards..]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-162-Upgrade-Thread-22213201 Thu, 09 Apr 2009 22:43:15 EDT Re: 1.6.2 Upgrade Thread http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-162-Upgrade-Thread-22213170 said by tylert120:

I don't like how I only see one channel on the mini guide now.
Can't they add something without taking something else away?

They added dual buffering but broke SD PQ.
They fixed SD PQ but broke mini-guide.

Hmm...I don't think I can opine on that one as my views would be biased watching an SD channel on a 60" TV. :D
I know what you mean. One of our sets is a 60" Sony SXRD. The SD improved a great deal with this release but naturally SD is not why we have this set. While it is no longer blurry (in general) and certainly is watchable, it is by no means pristine as the SD is on our SD sets and smaller HD sets. The SD is also very good on the front projection set since the release. As far as HD on the Sony, however, after 3 years the PQ still amazes me!]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-162-Upgrade-Thread-22197056 Tue, 07 Apr 2009 07:49:41 EDT Re: 1.6.2 Upgrade Thread http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-162-Upgrade-Thread-22197008 Look for my summary on Page 7 of this thread - it's fairly accurate.
