Hi All,

I have still not installed the update on my shield, but it pops up a
notification to do so all the time and with others using the shield, I
would not be surprised if it happens eventually.

I've looked at the nvidia shield forums a bit, and I see that they've got 3
hot fixes out for it now. Has any mythtv user applied those hotfixes yet?
Have they fixed some of the problems that affected mythtv? Mainly full
frontend user on v31 here.

Thanks,


George
