[FrankoQ]

I have an H23-600 and did the upgrade by mistake... it seems there was not update for this box.
Looks like the download set me back to version 4086
and I lost my local channels.

The questions are:
do I have to wait until the next CE release for this box?
or is there a way to get the latest CE release?

and

how do I get my local channels back?

Thanks

 

[FrankoQ]

Never mind. My local channels are back.
I guess I'll have to wait for the next CE to get back on MRV.

I've also seen this deletion problem and sent the report, but havn't seen the losing playback problem (using a 100Mbps hardwired connection).
