I posted this in another thread, but this is an ongoing annoyance that may be related to recent software updates:
Quick Question: I've had my 942 (and E* service for that matter) a little more than a week and the PG data for my digital locals (i.e. 4.1, 7.1, 9.1, etc.) keeps appearing/disappearing; it is there one day and gone the next. This is really annoying since it is screwing up my timers. I have been running L2.24 and now L2.25...and I subscribe to my locals (DC area). Anyone else having this problem? If so, how do I correct this annoyance?

I guess ignorance is bliss. I did not know about this update until now and just checked to see whether I have it or not. I do and mine receiver never had any lock ups. Wish to know what's new on this one...
I read about the duplicate channel problem but never noticed it on mine. I guess ignorance is bliss again. 
I have a new problem on the 942 which just recently started which I'm suspecting is caused by the new duplicate channel 'fix'.
If I have a 2 hr program recording from 6-8 on TV1 (Sat). "Program A"
I have another 1/2 hr program recording from 6:30 - 7:00 on OTA. "Program B"
What I end up with:
1) Program A - 30 Minutes
2) Program A - 1 Hr 30 Minutes.
What it really recorded:
1) is Program A recorded fine for the first 30 minutes
2) is from the OTA channel for 1hr, 30 min, mislabled as Program A, and missing the last 1 hr 30 min from Program A.
It seems that the 942 is incorrectly stopping the recording on TV1 when it starts to record on the OTA.
