Yes, my "post- blue line fix" 921 had been working very well until it died (coincidentally with the L773 download). [Seems the downloader put the new L773 over a bad spot on the disk, so the ensuing reboot would try to load L773 and when it encountered the bad spot, re-try until it gave up and rebooted, ...and rebooted, ...and rebooted .... until I discovered it a day or so later.
Unfortunately the replacement HEED was DOA with a hard disk failure. -- and had the initial greeninsh-blue-gray "HARD DISK FAILED" screen to prove it. Proceeding on, it seemed the tuner was working fine.... but because it had the original factory load on it, the only channel I could get was 101. (No current download means no authorization is possible as well as no current maps, no menus, no OTA. Looks like with "Better TV" I get a choice: 101 with the endless repeats of how to use your remote, or the HARD DICK FAILED error page. Both are rated "PG," and are commercial-free. )
[So as not to bias the poll: I don't think the replacement's failure should be counted, since it didn't really replace my original 921. Replace in location true, but not in service! Let's see how the "replacement"'s replacement does.]
