    How often do you reboot your box?

    I can make my box lock up by scrolling through the channel guide very fast using the arrow keys just about everytime, on ver 6 it seems i can duplicate it too by just going to the system status menus

    Received New Software During Antenna Upgrade

    I was under the assumption that SNR meant signal to noise ratio and the lower it was the better (not power). i don't think the diplexer powers the the antenna but rather is a power passive diplexer that allows you to get the power from the STB i would think that having a separate cable would...

    Received New Software During Antenna Upgrade

    Yup thats the way it looks to me, If your mapped to it (its in your programming guide) I'm sure you'll be able to tune it...BUT if not the OTA scanner will not add it to your List of channels unless it is at 80 or better. The new software/firmware also has an option to aim OTA so you can...
