Ceton support ended up switching me back to the older beta due to an issue where I would get "Weak Signal" after watching live TV for 45 minutes or so. The issue was somewhat sporadic, but seems to be solved for me. No TA's here.

I installed this beta about 10 days ago-
1. Had several occasions where live Tv on the HTPC & Echo would give "channel not available", quick change to another channel then back would clear it up (strike one).
2. While watching live Tv on the HTPC last night, the picture froze and audio went out. I could not change channels, nor bring up the guide, menu, nothing. Had to exit WMC, then tried live Tv and got "waiting for tuners". Had to reboot my HTPC, been ok since. Checked the Ceton log and showed that the ETH6 rebooted on its own (strike two).
3. Did not solve intermittent line of pixellation on HBOHD (foul).

I was hoping this firmware would be better than original, but it's not looking good at this point. Didn't have the tuner issues before, had 45 days of uptime before last nights crash. I will give it some more time at bat...

So,
Just an update......
Still running this beta on both pcie InfiniTV4 cards, one current version, one original version, and both are performing flawlessly.
No tuning adapters here. Still running 1182 on usb model without a glitch.

I finally got around to flashing my PCIe 6 last night. Also did the critical Windows updates. Then completely powered down waiting for everything to discharge. Powered up and all seemed well. 45 minutes into watching live TV the HTPC completely froze. It froze to the point that even the hard reset button on the case wouldn't reset the machine. Had to hit the power switch on the power supply to reboot. First time thats happened.

ETH6 just rebooted again. Less than 3 days of uptime. Never had this problem with original Firmware. I will be downgrading asap.

I downgraded my PCIe 6. The beta was making it unusable.

I installed the beta on two InfiniTV 6 ETHs and an old InifiniTV 4 PCIe...

1 week in, things are working perfectly on the two ETHs, but the older PCIe unit is complaining (frequently) of low signal strength, when it is pretty much in the ideal range. Any suggestions?

Is anyone getting "Update PlayReady" messages on their extenders with this FW while watching premium channels (I am on FiOS)? They seem to be occurring more frequently. I have a ticket opened today for the Echo, but wanted to check here as well.

The premium channels on FiOS are the only ones that are DRM enabled. Is this a new problem?

Just wondering if there are any new developments coming along on firmware releases....I know this particular beta didn't play well in my setup, just wondering if there are any others on the horizon?

Bump - Same question, is there a new firmware on the horizon

If not, is there a way to revert to a previous firmware, this latest last Beta firmware is not ad good as the previous one.
