Everything went smoothly on both HR24-500s of mine. These releases have all been very stable for me. Any word on a new official national release? I'm still somewhat of a newbie when it comes to CE software, so I don't have a clue how the releases really relate to new software that gets distributed to everyone. I know what I read in the FAQ and I know that were are testing the software until DirecTV is satisfied that it is stable, but my main question is do you automatically get updated to a national release if one becomes available or is that up to the user? Or will that stable version likely already be on my receiver if I updated to the latest CE and it will just be a matter of it being distributed to everyone else as stable?
