| | | FW: L439, Model: ViP211/ViP211
I wanted to share these findings while trying the new firmware:L439 for the Model: ViP211/ViP211.
Noticeable changes:
1. Changes were made to the System Setup->Installation->System Info page inside "Details". Now has the "STB Health Lite". All values are in cero... maybe because the signal status is Good at the moment of this test.
Not Fixed:
1. Problem with some OTA channels were the sound is very low to be heard when using the optical cable. While the optical cable is not working correctly, the HDMI has a normal level of sound in the same channel.
2. You still can't add an OTA channel that doesn't broadcast its assigned channel number. Ex. if you have an OTA channel transmiting from digital channel 15 and its corresponding analog channel is 14. If digital channel 15 doesn't broadcast that it is channel number 14, the channel is never added to the guide.

FWIW, I know I'm a little late to the party but I wanted to report the same things happening with recorded local HDTV on our 622 with version 5.10.
It doesn't seem to matter when the show aired; the problem is with playback. The wife and I sat down last night to watch stuff we DVR'd last December (so I'm a little behind on my CSI . . .) and we just couldn't watch it. Tearing, macroblocking, choppy sound--just unwatchable.
We found this on all our CBS and NBC shows we recorded. We get LIL HD, these aren't from an antenna.
Other stuff we've recorded from other stations was fine.
This is almost enough to make us DirecTV customers.
