After receiving 234, I have not had my external hard drive drop off - maybe that is fixed. Also, I don't know if this showed up in 230 or 234 (I don't remember seeing it mentioned here), but there is now an external drive menu option, and it appears to let you transfer the entire contents of your external drive to your hopper or vice versa. The external drive menu button is also in the Joey menu, but it says it is a future feature.
I have noticed this too. It seems to stay on My HD channels (that's where I like it and leave it)
My drive has stayed there also with S234. We'll see if this is fixed. The transfer function on the Hopper has always been there.
I've also noticed that the brief loss of audio after pausing and replaying the live feed appears to be fixed.
One thing 234 seems to have fixed...being able to add both sat and OTA of a local station to faves list. Before it would only add the Sat channel.

Not the problem...for ONE local station, could not put both in faves list, in my case, Fox affiliate. It would take the sat, NOT the OTA. Others have reported similar.

I can confirm this with both of my Hoppers and it is repeatable so the programmers should be able to find and fix the problem. Thanks to "Oldengineer" for finding this.

Watched tonight's update knock off the EHD again. No joy in that department. Also undid one channel's Sat/ota Faves fix. (see above a few posts).
I haven't been following the EHD problem but I just checked mine and it still works. I don't know if this helps any, but I was having the same problem with my EHD disappearing after the nightly updates with my 722k. Tech could not figure out the problem. They even sent me a new 722k thinking the USB port was broken, but the problem persisted. Then one day my EHD stopped working altogether. I reformatted it on the PC and ran Seagate Tools diagnostics and it failed miserably. It was still under warranty so Seagate sent me a new one and I have not had that problem again. So long story short your EHD may be going bad.
The EHD situation is still unstable for me. Somedays both of my EHDs are there (not very often). Somedays one or the other. Somedays neither. It's getting really old. It worked fine up until about S230.
My faves seem to be working properly the past few days.
They need to concentrate on fixing bugs before adding any more new features.
My EHD continues to be there each day. Fingers crossed 
. I did get a pop up yesterday that said I had connected external device 1, my EHD when I had done nothing. Perhaps there is still something buggy there or the EHD may be dying.
