722 EHD error 866--required a hit

[KKlare]

Within 24 hours one of my 2 722s changed its External Hard Drive household key and did not allow access. (That's Menu-6-3-Counters-several page downs.) My 622 and the other 722 had the same but different key. The changed last digit was ...F8 vs. ...F6 for the other two.

Requested a hit (took ~12 min + wait at 1AM) after trying a reboot without success while waiting. After a short wait the keys changed to ...38 on bad and ...36 on the two. On at least the two 722s, one of my 6 big disks worked. So all is well except for the 1/2 hour lost and as much to post this.

Question 1, why is one key of the 722s different and both 722s still work with old disks?

Question 2, I thought the key was matched to the disks, why do they work with a new key after the hit?

Lost Favorites channels after hit

It seems the one 722 I was having a problem and had a hit with lost the list of channels for one favorite list. It did not lose the label, why? The other 722 did not lose its list despite changing household key, too.

Aside: a few weeks ago you could jump to 9 places in the recordings list by using 1 to 9 to go to (#-1)/8 entry. Now only 1 and 9 work. Feature lost or is something else coming? I hoped they would extend this to more lists like search history and timers. Another lost idea.
