A month later I am pleased to report that the firmware does indeed
appear to have fixed the power-cycle issue. I cannot speak for the
S/PDIF audio issues others have experienced; all I can say is that I
have not seen the issue
(<URL:http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/mythtv/users/444281#444281>).
The HD-PVR now appears to be as reliable on my CentOS 5 system as
FireWire has been for going on five years.
