In VH05, my STB is taking a software update as I type. I can watch TV and change channels, but nothing else. Is this the update being discussed in this thread? |

Franklin Square, NY | Last night I was ready to throw the box out the window that's how bad it was. I just tried it now and its seems to be working fine. My wife and daughter will be glad to hear the good news also. |

| Still no joy in MA.
Matcarl, I like you, had a lot of problems with the box last night, much worse than I've ever seen it, so I'm not sure why it was so bad last night. I still don't have the update this morning but it seems a little better than it was last night. |

Darn, I've been busy and not paying attention till the kid's TV went all catatonic on me last night and simply refused to change channels. I'm in VH04, can't say it's been a problem since mid-December on any of the 5 boxes/dvrs we have as I just got used to it. But i definitely had an issue last night. |

Got the update last night in ny. One of my boxes an older model has no guide info and I can not see the mr- DVr list. Is this from the update? I did reboot the box twice. The box is silver if that helps. Any help will be much appreciated . Thanks |

Yep, I was ready to throw the damn remote at the dvr, now everything is working fine, I am not sure but it looks like the picture quality seems to be better, maybe its my imagination. |

I don't think so. I believe they may have tweeked the smoothing algorithm in the STB. I will ping my "sources" and see if they know anything. |

Anybody know when VHO 8 is getting the update ? Glad to hear the update fixes the channel changing delays. Went to change the channel last night and my 7232 froze for about a minute. Will be happy when this annoying problem ends. |

I'm in VHO5 (northern Westchester) and it's NOT fixed. Still on firmware 1.91 and having all the aforementioned problems. |
|
| reply to djoropallo
Between these problems and high ping times and price, I am considering cancelling as well...Price is the bigger one though. And the fact that they keep adding advertising on my box but can't add channels or correct problems in a more timely fashion. |
