HDHomeRun Software - 20131125beta1

[IownFIVEechos]

HDHOMERUN has a new firmware out. Just spreading the news.... I will wait for some feed back before I apply it.

[Venom51]

I've had it running in the lab on our 4 HDHomeruns and on a Prime at another location. I haven't seen any issues yet. I must state however that the manner I run our 4 in the lab is different than most home use. They are all set to stream a single MPTS in Multicast of the OTA content available to us in that area.

Still running 20130413beta1 here with no problems at all, and, since it ain't broke, ain't gonna "fix" it.

Interesting, but I really don't like to run beta unless they're final. Last release stable is what I am using.

Then you'll miss out on a lot of the advances in the SD line-up. Its been some time since the last "final" and if you just wait a few days and read the forum on SD you can easily decide if you'll run into a problem or need the update. One thing about SD, if there is an issue reported on a new FW, they look at it immediately and usually have it fixed in a day or two. One problem I had was fixed in a couple of hours!

But there's nothing compelling in this beta, right? At least nothing that I could see, so if you have a stable setup there's no reason to upgrade (faster channel scan is irrelevant with cards, and DLNA is still pretty much worthless even with favorites). My Prime has been rock-solid since the DLNA releases this year.

For those who have DLNA success what does the favorites feature do? Allow us to setup the list in the silicondust interface and then only those channels show up in our DLNA area's? That would be very nice as I only use 5 - 10 channels when I use a DLNA device.

Since this release they have made three revisions. Come on Ceton learn from Silicondust and support your users requests?

4 updates in a week+ seems sloppy, but it is nice that they are actively supporting it! I'll try the latest out this weekend.

I updated to this firmware today from the July beta release. I only did it because I was starting to experience the "No Available Tuners. Please run setup" problem. I discovered the only way I could recover from this was to run System Restore. Hopefully it resolves this.

No joy. Still doing this. Will open a ticket.
