this update fixed the guide filtering problem. the remote is repeating some commands at times something that wasn't there before the update. one other new problem, i sometimes lose video signal between channel changes.

 

[Rey]

i had to go back to the national release. this CE update is pretty buggy. i was getting reboots and remote key repeats. even though the national release has a problem with the guide filters it's still better than these other issues.

 

[jcrandall]

Any idea what was causing the reboots, same thing or random?

 

[Rey]

random. the box works really well with the national release except that the guide filters don't work. maybe we'll see something better this month

Also Getting Dropouts

one other new problem, i sometimes lose video signal between channel changes.

Rey-
I'm also seeing this since trying out the CE release this past weekend. Just randomly will get the "searching for satellite" popup. Never happened that often before.

 

[Rey]

that's why i went back to the national release. let's see what's next.
