OK, thanks. I sure hope they did my suggestion. It really drives me crazy the way it is now.

I got a problem with the L4.66.

You guys know that feature where if you're in the middle of recording something, you can choose "Start Over" to playback from the beginning of the recording.

Since this morning when L4.66 was downloaded to my 625 that feature does not work anymore. My DVR freezes for a few seconds and worse yet it cuts out a bit of the recording.

I'm pretty sure it's the software update because when I had L4.63 the first time the feature worked. Then L4.64 was put into the field and it didn't work. Then we got L4.63 again and it worked. And now that I got L4.66 it doesn't work again.

"Anybody seeing anything about this (from the Tech Depot):

6/4/2008: 1000 Software Version L5.10 for ViP 622 DVR
Effective Thursday, June 5th, Engineering plans to spool a PARTIAL PHASE of software version L5.10 for the ViP 622 DVR receiver. This is primarily a non-forced maintenance release available at ALL satellite locations.

At this time L4.49 and L5.10 will be the valid software versions for the ViP 622 DVR.

6/4/2008: 1001 Software Version L5.10 for ViP 722 DVR
Effective Thursday, June 5th, Engineering plans to spool a PARTIAL PHASE of software version L5.10 for the ViP 722 DVR receiver. This is primarily a non-forced maintenance release available at ALL satellite locations.

At this time L4.49 and L5.10 will be the valid software versions for the ViP 722 DVR."

It's supposed to go out tonight, if it spools at all. The Tech Portal has been wrong before. If it does I'll post the info tomorrow morning.

Must be some big changes in the software. Jumping from 4.49 to 5.10.

not necessarily. Technically there's no "dot" in the numbers and they try to not use the same numbers on more than one platform. So perhaps numbers 450 through 509 are allocated to something else (466 is the 522/625 for example so they wouldn't reuse that number).
