P3.85 is the same as P3.84 except the switch / signal error issue has been corrected.

P3.84 users should do a check switch to correct the error.

P3.85 is only targeted to P3.82.

My 811 receiver got a software download last Thursday night (2.22.07). I assume it must be the latest and greatest, but I haven't checked.

The issue I have is that, although I subscribe to the local channels, and I still have the program guide for the Washington DC channels, I lost the program guide for the Baltimore channels. Since I live directly between the two cities (about 1000 yards south of the Patuxent River, which is the dividing line between the DMAs), and since I am the chief engineer for two of the Baltimore channels (WNUV and WBFF), I often watch them, and often set timers for programs on those channels.

What can I do to get the program guide info for Baltimore back?

Thanks - Mark

Thanks - MarkFrom what I understand, At this time you can't. Engineering is looking into this issue.
