    Default 900hd firmware update... is it ever going to happen?

    anyone know whats going on with the 900hd firmware development?

    2.10.11 was so bad with regular crashing and lockups the box is now collecting dust on a shelf. thinking back i would have been better off using the $$ spent on this box for toilet paper.

    if there isn't going to be anymore Ultraplus900hd firmwares released, if not can the octagon equivelant firmware be used somehow? it looks like this one has been through a number of updates and fixes.

    i really wan't to use this box, but if it gets hooked backup in its current state the misus is going to smash it into oblivion.
    cheers

    Is it freezing up when used in conjunction with certain smart cards or on free to air?

    If you use FW 2.09.35 it is the most stable.

    thanks , i actually went looking for this one a few weeks back and gave up when i found the links in the original announcement were broken.

    i have been up and down the firmware revisions in the past with out much luck. these older ones from memory have issues with the 7day epg and the more recent general crashing a few times a day.

    anyhow im just hoping that one of these firmwares when released cures the once/twice daily crash and has a useable 7day epg for scheduled recording.

    maybe i just wish for too much

    22nd nov 2011 is the mcas my box is on, thats the only version that didnt freeze every few seconds with my austar 5.4 card.

    I have been turning my system completely off at night and letting it do it's complete bootup in the morning and have not had hardley any crashes. If I try to change to another Internet ch on 'internet tv' before the one I am loading starts or stops I get it locking up but in the normal mode it has been very good.
    Ultrapower website will have the latest firmware available to download when available
