I wouldn't use the term "badly affected". There are tens of thousands of units out there for which users are quite happy with the current firmware. The firmware fixes an edge case that affected a very small subset of users when receiving signals from a specific QAM modulator product. The vast majority of users would be perfectly fine using the old firmware indefinitely. That said, I certainly have no objection to a message stating that there is newer firmware available than what they are currently running. Devin -- Devin J.
