    I am running the latest Firmware

    But I am just using the box as a File player not Streaming anything exciting just YouTube on the odd occasion

    Apart from that she seems a lot more solid than the firmy that was on it when I first got the box

    Sorry not much help LOL

    Interesting that my receiver didnt show any notification of new firmware as it usually does. It came up with a manual search.

    All I can see thats new is a service under live tv that requires a tv card.

    Edit : Stolen from post below : Supports Hauppauge in select countries. WinTV tuner required. Compatible tuners listed in Knowledge Base Article 5688.

    Everything else is a tech fix.
