I noticed the update too.

One change I did see is that when I turned on two of my TVs, I did not get the red Verizon screen that normally shows up after the box reboots but rather, I got a small box in the upper right corner stating that the box is being updated and it will only take a minute, which it does.

During the period that the update info box is on the screen, you can't change the channels but at least the last channel viewed is on the screen. The power light on the front of the boxes (7100 and 7232) also stay out until the udate is completed.

When the kids are up, I'll check the other two TVs to see if I notice anything else.

Yes, several others noted the same thing in this thread.

I didn't realize that audio alerts are enabled as an option in this update. As I recall, they were enabled in an earlier update, but were removed because of a problem they were causing.

The option is available to turn them on or off in the settings menu under audio.

Thanks Nezmo.

I didn't search all seven pages to see what others already posted. I just thought I would post my observations, in case anyone else cared, is all.

Wasn't digging at you. Just pointing out it seems normal for this update and not something to be concerned about.

Agreed, these threads get too big to be of any use.

Still on 1.9.1 in VHO 5. Anyone know when VHO 5 will be getting the update?

Hopefully this week because someone in our VHO that was on slow spin got it about two weeks ago.

I said that in a kidding manner. We all know how these roll outs usually go.............

Sorry for the confusion.

What is a slow spin in a VHO?

Testing new IMG software for a small number of boxes. Fast spin is when all boxes get the new IMG software.

Who are chosen in a slow spin? Are they designated?

If they were rolled in other areas(VHO) already, why is there a need for a slow spin?

To make sure any problems are identified before fast spin that could break all the boxes in a VHO....

About time. All I noticed so far is fast forwarding a recording is much more responsive.

Got the update this morning but it wasn't a clean upgrade. Channel numbers or guide(title in the bottom screen) on all our boxes aren't showing when changing channel manually, menu button from the remote is not responding, etc... In short, I have to reboot the router to get control of the stb. I'm sure there are others that have my experience and called V support.

In Staten Island, New York, got the update around 3:00 AM, took around 20 minutes for the update to finish. One box was stuck at "This Terminal is Locked, Enter PIN Code" while all the others worked for live TV. All seems well now, on the later Motorola DVRs.

vho5 got it too..

not sure if this is from the update or the new guide data provider, but many of my series recordings' times are off necessitating they be re-setup.

See my post in the other thread.

typical VZ QA. Their call center will be taking a hit from the less savvy.

Have you tried rebooting the box? Also try using the repair feature in settings (sorry, don't remember what it's called and not home).

I think the scheduling differences are related to the guide change. There were a number of shows that needed to be rescheduled, like Masterpiece Mystery. Previously, scheduling Masterpiece caught everything. Now you need to schedule Masterpiece Mystery. It is a good idea to check your scheduled shows and series.

But VHO5 doesn't have the new guide changes yet, so this isn't related to that.

Yes I did try rebooting the box.

As we have not gotten the guide yet, the screwed up series' are an "enhancement" of the new IMG.

The only one I can see in fact. And I will be reminded of it repeatedly over the next few months as some of the series I record are in re-run's now so I cannot reschedule those series for first-run only since they wont be in the guide (some of them) for a few more months.

Someone also said remote dvr functions are more responsive. No difference at all seen by me.
