</div>Same here. I upgraded in hopes that, based on the changelog, the<br>
firmware would finally solve the well-known stability issue. (I can't<br>
use Gavin Hurlbut's hdpvr-killer device because power cycling the<br>
HD-PVR when it is in use crashes my backend.) Unfortunately, the<br>
abovementioned change makes the new version unusable, at least for me.<br>
<br>
Previous firmware versions recorded with values that were almost<br>
perfect compared to the "pure" MPEG-2 via FireWire, so I never<br>
bothered with the Live TV 'g' command. With 0x17, I have to turn Hue<br>
down to 0% or close to it for red to not appear pink, but no matter<br>
what I can't get some other colors (especially yellow) to look quite<br>
right. Back to FireWire, once again, I go.<br>
<br>
PS - I found that changing the recording settings quickly tended to<br>
crash the HD-PVR, requiring a power cycle.</blockquote><div><br></div><div>I sent an email to Hauppauge support over the weekend asking if I could get a previous version of the firmware, but haven't heard back yet.</div>
