Mine took 2.33 sometime Monday. It's probably too soon to say anything definite, but I was able to watch two of the Monday night shows yesterday, and there was only one minor block error that did not effect the audio.
For those who are having problems, I'd be curious what bootstrap version your boxes have. Mine is 1414GALD.

Interesting because on mine, the skips and drops are in the recording. You go back and they are there. We made our first recording with 233 last night. For the first time since we got the receiver, we saw no skips or drops on the play back. I guess time will tell.

I got it the other night to. Recorded two shows last night and the video was fine BUT the audio dropped out about every 10 to 15 seconds. Totally unwatchable. My boot strap is 1414GALD. Will see what happens tonight.

I watched some more recorded programs today and only had a few minor video glitches and a few audio dropouts like befor. The really bad recording with all the Audio dropouts was from USA Network and I wonder now if it was a channel specific problem.

Was getting minor video and/or sound dropout after 233 when watching recorded shows. It didn't seem to be the recording as I could go back and review with no problems. Decided to do soft reset (at an opportune time, when not recording, turned it off then held in off button till it reset) since then watched about 4 1hr shows and only noticed a few very minor video distortions. Going back and reviewing indicated they were recorded that way. It's looking better all the time.
I think there should be a setting for the default for the padding timers. I find that the 3 minutes late causes a problem with back to back recordings when it decides to use TV1 instead of the TV2 default.
Regarding 2.33: Of course, when my wife is using it, which is rare, it always seizes up. Last night during her replay of King of Queens (my life, btw, except in my case, it's a mother-in-law), it decided to crap out and start a disk diagnostic. Naturally my wonderful wife decided to cancel it even though she could still watch the show on our cable lifeline. Luckily (for me) all of my previous recordings were still in place.
One odd thing I noticed with the last release was that an old PPV recording title changed from the movie name to "Locked Event." Playback and description are OK, it just seems strange, as if the index got messed up.

My update showed up Wednesday... I noticed that you can now press "Info" on the remote for more detailed infomation on what the "All/New/Daily..." timers mean. It's an alternative to scrolling aside and pressing "Help". That's the only change I noticed (I don't think it was there before).
After a week with 2.33 I feel comfortable saying that the video blocking and audio chirps are fixed (at least for me). I've watched about 8 hours of stuff that was recorded since getting 2.33 and have only noticed one small blocking error that didn't effect the audio, and could have been due to weak signal strength off the 105 sat (I have the superdish for Columbia, MO DMA).
The 2.33 update did not fix all the 599 error problems I still can reproduce one almost at will by doing a search which does not find any shows especially if its the second search I have preformed with out going out of the search menu. I am entering the search menu directly.
I still get audio dropouts and small video glitches when watching recorded events with 2.33
I was watching a recorded show and put it on pause to goto the other room. when I came back Disk diagnostics was running and it showed 599 in the message box.
It completed in about 10 mins and everything was fine but then I paused it again and the same thing happened. message 599 and disk diag started running.
I have only had the box a month but this was the first time I have seen disk diag running and twice in one night.

Seems I spoke too soon. Monday night's CBS and NBC primetime shows were evidently too much for my 522 to handle. I even took a look at the firmware version during a commercial break to make sure the boys at E* hadn't thrown us another curveball.
I did notice, but maybe this was already there pre L233, that the Dolby Digital settings in the setup menus are greyed for TV2 and active for TV1 - which makes total sense. Just thought I'd mention it if someone searched later and was confused as to why their DD setup was greyed out when they are using TV2 remote to change it.
