It's not the worst. While it's still not ideal, I prefer this over how it was handled before. What they should have done is still have the pop-up message but have it appear only when there isn't any recording. Every weekday I'd be watching/recording shows until about 4 a.m. and it would continually disrupt my viewing asking for an update (or go into standby mode if I wasn't attentive enough). I knew that it wouldn't update until recording was finished anyway so it was pointless to have it ask to update all the time. Anyway, I haven't had the update take place at 1:30 a.m. during any of this week since I got S502 on the 16th. The nightly update happens for me around 4:30 a.m. but that is likely because I'm recording for 3 hours straight almost all the time up until 4 a.m. I noticed it allows me to watch something from the time of my last recording for a half-hour before it decides to go into update mode. (Ex: I just finished recording Clubland and then Full Throttle Saloon. It's now 4 a.m. and I watched Southern Fried Stings until 4:30 before it started to update. If I had began to record it, it would have waited another half hour to update so then it would have taken place at 5:30)So now it still does the nightly reboot at 1:30 but there is no pop-up? You can no longer tell it not to update and it reboots even if you are watching something at the time? If true, that is worse behavior then it was before the firmware 'upgrade'!!!

Since S502 update I am having trouble with three OTA channels. When I set a timer in the guide the icon does not show up. In the Timer's listing the timer is there but when I check the Timer Schedule it says No Timers Scheduled. This is happening on PBS channel 9.1, 9.2, and 9.4. The local satellite channel 9.0 and OTA channel 9.3 work OK. I noticed since the update two of our series timers on channel 9.4 were not recording and then discovered this issue. This is happening on three of my Hoppers, not sure if fourth Hopper is having the issue. Could this problem be with the guide from our local PBS affiliate or has anyone else seen this issue?
I have the exact same problem with OTA 5.2 COZI in the DFW area. Called and reported this to Tech Support on Friday. I set manual timers for 2 series and have been recording them ever since. A generic icon will display but once you open the folder the title and description is there on the recorded shows. Hope this will work for you.

I haven't yet. Everytime I check there are no DIRT on line. I guess I will find one from one of my old PMs and report the issue. Has the OTA early start/end late issue been fixed yet? I haven't checked yet since S502 came out.Same problem reported here. The timer for a sub channel for the local PBS is not working at all. Has anybody reported this to DIRT?
