I have sent it to jbvideo, (resident PVR guy here), he is trying it out and then I will put it in Eamos if it works out. BTW its the January revision as that was the very last one for the PVR and was Beta at best.
Reading back on your problem, I know you said you reverted back to the old firmware, but did you do a factory reset and rescan after rollback?

Eamos is at the bottom of my post, have a look lots of info on the PVR there. Yes there is a Jan one and its Beta but I have sent it to jbvideo for evaluation and will then get it into Eamos if its OK.

I would not advise anyone to update to the new fimware posted above. It is very buggy and even though the guide is now much quicker it loads the channels every time you press epg instead of storing them in memory. I would hold on till these bugs are fixed.

Funny that as there are quite a few people who are using it and havent reported that problem. I know there are bugs and I did say it was Beta but our resident PVR guy jbvideo is trying it out at the moment.
So far reports are good, but he will do a write up when he is finished with all tests, recording etc.

ok sc0user
after taking your opinion and everyone else's on board I decided not to install the beta version of the firmware but I was very tempted
But you'll be glad to know I fixed the problem , I gave my mate with a PVR box a hard drive and asked him to save his channel list to this hardrive his utv and bbc1 and 2 was working
put the hard drive into my own box did a channel upgrade from HDD and it restored his whole channel list hey presto utv is back bbc1 and bbc and I don't even have to re-sort the channel menu as he already had it done
the thing which is baffling is the frequency for utv bc1 bbc2 is still the same from his channel list and when i do a rescan it still doesnt pick that frequency up from my box
but i'll stick with his channel menu which has all 176 chanels working perfectly
guys lets try and get the jan 2008 firmware for the pvr working well without any bugs as it's long overdue a piece of firmware that works perfectly
the new superbox has firmware that even picks up new frequency if n*l change channel frequency my mates have all bought this new superbox and say it's light years ahead of the pvr's firmware

Hi Mick
Loaded the beta version on last week took it off as quick the recording is shocking and general stuff like when you exit from one menu the screen goes black again and not back to a channel
I would seriously hold off
I have put oct firmware back on and it's great
