I know what your saying, your stuck with something not working properly and you cannot enjoy watching tv. Definitely in the future when you are thinking about getting new hardware go with something you can load apps on and you control. I would be upset as well. Atleast you know in the future that you can use other hardware to connect to servers and aren't locked into a box you have no control over. It seems like every time new software is pushed out there is always issues unfortunately. I have read this on many forums. I hope they get it working again for you.

I updated my 254 to r18. Use it to watch mp4 video and mkv. It worked fine before the upgrade but now some of the videos won't play the audio portion (no sound). Went back to r14 and everything works again. Just FYI.

How can you go back to an older version? Where do you go in settings to download anything other then new version?

[Rinny]

Have been testing r18 for a Week NO PROBLEMS HERE,,, Just sayin..

[crazed 9.6]

yes, the r18 has been good here as well

But if you want to revert back to an older file....

How can you go back to an older version? Where do you go in settings to download anything other then new version?

r14 and r17 and r18 are all still available right there thru your mag receiver.... I just checked and they are all there

depending where you are at in the menu screens, get into the Inner Portal.
If you are in Live TV and Video Club viewing menus, then scroll over till you see the Settings tab and scroll down and in there is a 'Go to Inner Portal' option.
Then into the Software Update tab you will see there and ensure the server download address is

http://update.infomir.com/mag/254/imageupdate

Then Go into Embedded Portal and into Settings and into Software Autoupdate
Then in there ensue it shows...
Autoupdate : With Confirmation
Update beta versions = On

Then use the green button on remote (update Manually).
Then with New Version slot highlighted, use the bottom left hand button on your remote (as pictured on that New Version slot). That function will bring up any and all versions available.

Mag does do a reboot automatically after a file has been loaded, but there is also a Reboot Device option.

Upgraded to r18 a few days ago. Overall this has been very stable, only thing I have noticed is most channels are showing subtitles as default. On remote Mode, Subtitles, off does the trick but doesn't stick. Anyone else finding this happen ?

r18 I get the following issues:

Some VOD's won't play with sound
Subtitles stay on by default - takes a few disables to stay off
VOD's still freezing at some points need to seek back or forward to get working

I've found the previous version to work better than the latest release (at least for my needs) VOD is playing audio again, less glitchy, overall I'm a fan of version 17
