Dang, I wish I could be around this weekend to download it. I guess I'll have to wait for next week. Still looking for a fix to the unit waking up during the middle of the night.

So far so good, no missing video problems at all this week. AM21 still powered on after turning off receiver. Otherwise - looks real good. Seems responsive, and the random 721 errors haven't popped up.

Thanks,

L.G.M.

H23-600 w/AM21.
