Downloaded. So far so good. Will report more tomorrow.

Seems stable so far. I'm guessing the AM21 staying powered up is a permanant feature because it's still on when powering the receiver off. h23-600 & AM21. Haven't lost video when changing channels at all with this release.

Take care,

L.G.M.

And again, spoke too soon. Lost video on all channels with a 721 error last night. Restarting clears it up, but it's aggravating - if only because it's so random. Only improvement I can see is that I'm at least getting an error message now instead of just a blank screen. I've moved this receiver to other locations in the house and still get the problem. So, I don't believe its a cable issue. Might be a faulty receiver.

Thanks,

L.G.M.
