New Firmware Update for Motorola VIP 2250Has any one else gotten the new firmware update for the Motorola VIP 2250 DVR? The new TV2 client version is 2.1.2344.20. I believe this addresses the freezing and rebooting issues.
I would guess that this update would also apply to the Cisco ISB 7500 DVR. |

Oh ok, I'm in San Antonio. I wonder if this will be sent to boxes in my city too. |

Oh yes, it will be pushed out to all of the new DVR boxes. I don't know what the time frame will be. |

Where do you find the software version of a VIP 2250. Just had U-verse installed on the 10th and I'm on my second VIP 2250. I was getting pixelization, freezing and lose of TV signal. Finally a tech switch from using the coax input to the ethernet and that seems to fix my problems. |

Are you guys still seeing freezing problems with your DVRs after the update?
Also how are your DVR connected to the gateway? Coax? Ethernet? |

I really never had a freezing issue, but a customer did post on the Utalk forum that they have not had the freezing issue since receiving the update a couple of days ago. I don't know if their DVR is feed by coax or Ethernet. |

Are you hooked up via Ethernet or coax? |

My DVR is connected with an Ethernet cable to the RG. It is connected to the TV with an HDMI cable. |

Mine updated last night as well, ISB7500. I never had any issues though, connected with ethernet and component (HDMI had an audio lag when using the jump forward/backward buttons, after jumping the audio wouldn't start for a second where it starts immediately on component). |

Well I just got upgraded today from the VIP1225 to VIP2250 DVR and I am pretty pleased with it so far. Surprisingly I see a difference in the quality of the picture on the 2250, it seems to be a lot less pixelated.
I was only expecting to have a lot more recording space but it seems to be that it has a better MPEG4 decoding chip, hence the better video quality.
Has anyone else noticed the same thing with switching from a different box to the 2250? |

I also got the update a couple of nights ago for my 2250 and I also see an improvement in the picture quality. There is less pixelization than before....it's not perfect yet by far, but it's definitely a bit better. Still, though, U-Verse picture quality is not as good as my old provider, Cox, and I am not happy with it. The only reason I switched was that they had a great promotion and I got $350 in Visa cards but I wish I had stayed with Cox. Hopefully my box will no longer freeze and reboot as that problem would happen almost daily (I had U-Verse installed in November 2011)!! Only time will tell but I haven't had a freeze problem int he two days since the firmware update - YIPPEE! Now if only I could get faster internet in the Cleveland area that would be awesome. I can only get 18Mbps (Max Plus) - C'Mon ATT! |

In the little bit of time we had it freeze once soon after the initial setup for the new box. But after i restarted it, it has been fine.
Has anyone else run into issues? |
