I'm not sure if that's a bug or if it was just never designed to work that way . I would guess the latter.
OTA Transfer to EHD Problem
OK, this problem is weird.
My two HWS's have been updated with S328.
Since the update, both of them have exhibited a problem transferring OTA recordings from the Hoppers to the EHDs. The transfer on both stalls with about 1 minute remaining and hangs. The Hoppers don't respond to the STOP command on the "USB Device Transfer Progress 848" display.
I can transfer satellite recordings from the Hoppers to the EHDs without a problem. The Hoppers playback previously transferred OTA and satellite programs from the EHDs without a problem.
I've removed/restored power and replaced the EHDs on both Hoppers with the same result.
Anyone else have this problem?

How about the optical audio output dropping audio problem? Neither of my HWS have gotten the update yet.
If this update does not fix my Optical Input problem, I will purchase the HDMI to Optical convertor box. I will then try and get some kind of reimbursement for it.
I have this problem as well. Sure wish they would fix it, it's really annoying when scrolling to see what my upcoming recordings are.
Part of the new software. You will notice that HBO, Encore, Starz and Epix also have this feature.
I hope more channels are added this way in the future.
I was hopeful this update would insert the "order ID" code in the VOD info box. I guess the certificates we got for losing BB still are only good for ordering PPV. 
Got the latest update today(11/22). When I went to the DVR menu for Daily Schedule I noticed the scroll bar was close to the bottom. I could scroll up and see what I recorded back to 11/02. I remember that history of recordings from my 622 but really could care less. What I did see was scrolling back one instance was the next show I was scheduled to record. Scrolling forward all the shows for the 8 or 9 days was there. Not a big deal but WTF. Also as an aside I use a Harmony One. When I turn off an activity such as Watch TV, the remote would turn off the TV and the Hopper. Now the Hopper turns off and on ....
Tile size and picture size
When I adjusted the picture size reducing overscan, all the menus were reduced too.
I needed to reduce the overscan so I could see the whole picture but
I want the tiles to be able to fill the screen. The smaller tiles have the name outside--better maybe.
It was good that I could adjust (Yellow+Format TV+Screen Adjust) the screen to exactly match the menus.
My DLP does not have a scan size adjust other than moving the main lens, which I will not do.
This means I either have a black border from multiple shrinks or picture overscan if "normal".
It's like it is on partial zoom both ways. Not good.

Got HWS S328. Noticed in the System Info screen that 'Available Joey Software' now shows two versions: S357 S450.
As of now the Joey seems to have S357 loaded. Is there more then one hardware version of the Joey now?
Hate the new recording list icons, its ugly IMO. In particular the recording count is done very tackily now.

I am kind of underwhelmed by the new release. I preferred when all the on demand channels were in alphabetical order. Or else you should be able to input a channel code and go to a on-demand channel directly. Didn't TCM used to have an on demand channel? It's gone now.
Does anyone have trouble with they locals channels at all? I think it was with the original Hopper the local channels go black with no picture or sound and you have to a reset to get the channels back this happen I think over a year ago until they fixed it with a new software update. It has happen in the last few days I got the new software on Nov. 20th S328. It's the OTA channels with a adapter just to be clear on everything.

All the icons on my EHD disappeared after I got the update yesterday. I haven't checked to see if they came back overnight yet.
On the other hand, the EHD seemed less sluggish than it used to be.

I sure miss the little blue S when you save a PTAT recording. Just don't understand when a nice thing gets eliminated. Must be a good reason why, I guess!
