I had an SA S-card that would not respond. Update fixed it. Pixelation still there.

I have 2 Motorolla SCards and my problem has been fixed. I wasn’t having as severe an issue as other users, but the intermitant pixelation (1-5 times per hour) has vanished completely. I hope they can resolve the issue for the rest of the users still experiencing the problem. I was pleased with how fast they are rolling out the updates – shows they are trying to fix the problem.

I’m an SA SCard user and, as I said, it seems to be a big improvement for me.

Seems to be still an issue for SA SCard users, who were the ones with the most severe issues. Tivo has really made a mess of the Tivo HD introduction. Cable card based systems are difficult enough with the poor support from teh Cable companies without Tivo adding to the problems with a buggy product with poor tech. support that originally insisted to many that the problems were either Cabel Card or Signal related.

Hey Megazone-

Received the update last night… Not much if any improvement on my HD or digital channels…. But menus seem snappier/less sluggish…

Right after the update installed, I was getting a lot of audio drops, and stuttering video, but that has seemed to clear up quite a bit.

On a lark, I popped a splitter on my line, just to test if maybe my signal strength was too strong– but it made no difference as far as I could tell (unscientific I know…)

Hopefully this is not the last of the “Macroblocking updates”
