Server Issues. We are very aware that there have been system issues the past few days. In troubleshooting the system, it has been determined that the issue is at our provider and is hardware related. As of 12:05 PM ET our provider has moved us to a new server.
Things seem to be running better on this new server. However in trying to diagnose the issue (before finding out it was a hardware issue) we made some system changes which we need to undo. So if you find any issues or errors please let us know in the Operations Center Forum.
Thank you for your patience! Sorry for the issue!

Sacramento and San Francisco are two different sets of locals entirely.
You are in Sacramento (such as Channel 40).
I know where I am and I know where the Bay area is. I know which locals both get. You said the Bay Area is experiencing no problems. I was pointing out that that is not entirely accurate as RandallA and another bay area sub are both experiencing difficulties with 6.15. RandallA with OTA and the other user with problems similar to mine pixelating/blocking/video locking.
Do you have 6.15?
S~
If you actually read my posts, you won't the words "Bay Area", I always stated "San Francisco".
I also went to the other site, and could not find anyone in San Francisco describing any pixelating on satellite-delivered locals. They are all in Saint Louis.
PS OTA seems to vary a lot, but it seems odd that RandallA has the problem with one receiver and not the other - it could be simply a substandard chip in the receiver with the problem.
In the software thread, the post from 12/17 says:

Does this mean they are pushing out L615 to all receivers now, going a few at a time using serial numbers?

Yes.
Try it, during my attempt I got a question about IR code to control the "External" device.

fix for autotune failure
Since autotune fails now with 615 if receiver is off I have now created my own personal workaround (fix) for it. I simply create a second autotune a minute or two after the first one. The first one turns the receiver on and the second one does the actual tuning.

It doesn't seem to be spooling out very fast if the receiver numbers posted are accurate. especially since this upgrade was announced at the last tech chat some time ago. Maybe the holidays accounted for a delay.
Nope, no new info. I hope they don't release it and put out a new update instead, it's caused my 722 to behave really strange with OTA signals.
Note: I did see some beta software update for the 622/722 receivers spooling last week or the week before.

Any word if the new update has caused receivers to crash and reboot continually?
I was gone on vacation with the power off to my ViP722 from 22 December to 3 January and ever since I came back and plugged it back in - all it wants to do is reboot.
I don't think the upgrade has hit my serial number yet. I had the new smart card installed for about 5 weeks prior to the problem being noticed.
I've got a tech scheduled to check out the receiver and I think it's toast. I also went through the steps with the CSR on the phone for 1 hour and it was no help.
I wonder if my 622 updated the new update? Since I unplugged my unit and home theater system and moved it, when I plugged it back in it seems like some of my HD channels are 4x3 ratio, and I have to stretch everything. I don't remember having to that before. Like CNN always has the black bars on the sides, don't remember that either. Seems like all locals are screwed up to. Maybe it's just me.
