L2.36 sure didn't last very long as I have been awaiting for this update. Still at 2.35. Now 2.37 is out. Anyone have any release notes on this?

L236 was basically updating the 522 with the 625's feature set. I would guess that they found one or more problems with this, and as soon as they determine that L237 works correctly on both 522 and 625 that they will mainstream L237 to all. Or a slightly later version if they found problems.
Can someone with access to the stream tell us if L237 is a single release for both 522 and 625, or are they still separate?

"access to the stream" - i.e. somebody who is piddling around with whatever type of equipment they might have access to, and can figure out what the bits mean, on whatever channel/frequency the software updates are spooled out on.
Of course such a person is likely to be using such equipment for purposes that can't be discussed here.

They probably added the 2xSelect so that you don't accidentally roll over and hit the button in the middle of the night and wake yourself up.
Its not like the software engineers have any REAL problems to be working on, so they just added that little *feature* for anyone who sleeps with their remote.

2.37 has brought back the audio drops for me at about one per hour.
So to summarize, the major fix from 2.36 has been removed, but we get to keep the new bugs. How I love having to hard boot the DVR so I can press the Power button twice so I have a chance to have the audio drop out of my recording.

Here's another 236 problem: To use the TV2 digital recorder, I now have to set it up at TV2, instead of doing it thru the preference protocol at TV1. Otherwise, it will not record, and puts up the "TV1 in use" screen on TV2, as if that had anything to do with it in denying TV2 to record the selected program. It also occasionally denies erasing recorded programs with a "TV2 in use" when it isn't. Whomever said that "updates fix one problem and give you two more" was right on. If 237 returns the audio lag problem, our 522 is done for.
You forgot to mention at the tail end of all that, "... if my recording timers even fired in the first place!" Everyday I have to review the daily schedule to see if it's correctly populated from the timers screen. If not, I run a check switch to force a new guide download, which usually helps - but not always.Sapient said:

Thats kind of funny as the very same bug with the very same work around is in the 942.
I have a brand new 522 that I have not even opened yet waiting/debating if I should even bother. I got it to repalce my 508 which is 'reliable' but now I am not so sure

Directv nerd here spamming. Hey I have too! Nobody hardly ever has any problems with their DVR equipment over there, myself included
. Anyway if Sapient's only getting audio dropouts once an hour I'd say Dish has pretty much fixed the audio issues. My 522 once had 12 dropouts in 30 minutes! PS. Not a single audio dropout yet with my Directivo

I know that your D* equipment are stable, I was just hoping he was a guy spewing some anti dish propaganda. Too bad he's not....
Sigh.....
