Oh boy. Maybe they'll fix more than they break in this one.
So far, with 3.34, I'm getting power-on reboots (frequent), clock losing time whilst on an OTA channel, and frequent NO INFO for guide data. Sometimes an OTA channel goes to the dialog box with signal strength for a channel at 90% or better ... have to channel up-channel down to get it to lock. Those are the major repeatable bugs I have seen.

Any word on what this release is supposed to address?

clock losing time whilst on an OTA channel

Am I ever glad I saw this. That happened to me for the first time last night (clock was off by 14 minutes) and I thought I was losing my mind... |

I hope this fixes the erroneous washed out component video output created by the previous software. Haven't been able to use my 811 since the last update.

Release notes?
Why haven't there been any release notes on 3.35?

For one it hasn't spooled yet.
And for two, not sure that I'll post them when it does.

Jason,
Are you saying that P3.35 isn't going to contain any fixes, just cosmetic changes?

I can't speak for Jason, but I don't think that is what Jason is saying.

Problems with 335 on 811
I received the download for the 335 today and it has screwed up all of my HD channels. ESPNHD is totally unwatchable. All of the picture is on the extreme right of the screen with the gray bar covering about half the screen. I have done a couple of hard boots as well as a soft boot but nothing helps. Any help will be appreciated.

Pull the power cord and leave it unplugged for 30 seconds then plug it back in. Let us know if that helps. Also, it may help to disconnect your DVI connector then re-connect, if your using DVI.

I have pulled the power cord a couple of times, (hard boot) but that didn't change anything as stated in my previous post. However, I haven't tried disconnecting and reconnecting the DVI cable. So I will try that and will report back the results.
Thanks so much for your response. |

I did as you suggested and no improvement.
I have never had any problems with any updated software up until this one. All the HD channels are totally un watchable. They seem to be about twice the size of the normal pictures. Very frustraing.......
Any other suggestions will be greatly appreciated. |

You most likely have performed this but have you checked your display settings for the 811, plus checked the format settings via the remote? If it isn't any of that, then I'm very reluctant to let the software 335 download. |

Thank you for all your suggestions. I called tech support and they could not figure out the problem...so, I again, tried unplugging the DVI cable with the receiver turned off and that corrected. The time I tried that after your suggestion, I didn't turn off the receiver. But, when I did it with the power off, it solved the problem. Thank you so much for all your help. I am now a happy camper.
I hope you don't have the same problem, but if you do, do as you suggested, ie, disconnect and reconnect the DVI cable.
Thanks again, very much. |

Wow, my 811 picked up P3.35 right away (usually seemed like others got it before me). As of this time, I've been watching OTA Olympics and the clock seems to be in-synch.
I need to let it run a few more hours to verify.
Ah.  The "No Info" bug is back! I just shot forward two days in the guide, the guide needed to download data, and when it finished, I got a screen that a) had the channels in reverse order to what I normally have (I like descending order; the EPG was "ascending") and b) every channel was "No Info". Also, the cursor keys did not respond. However, after I cancelled and called the guide back up, all the guide data appears to be valid.

Got hit with the download yesterday. Powered down while were eating dinner, noticed the download imediately as I had yet to turn off the tv.
Didn't noticed any bugs when we watched GAC from Dish and then American Idol and House in OTA HD.

8 hours later and the clock is still on time! I would say the Clock Bug got re-squished...
