Ok,
I figure we've given enough time for the dust to settle with the 6.3b rollout and whatever the "fix" was to the guide data that Directv supposedly fixed.
So, Are you having reboots with 6.3b?

I couldn't vote because there was no option for No I havent had any reboots with 6.3b or any other problems, it's actually at 22 days since last reboot. But I manually copied over the file to my 6.3a install to make it 6.3b :/

Same here -- the option that applies to me ("No problems with 6.3b") isn't in your poll.

Put me on the list of "I can't vote". No reboots or other problems here.

Same with me, I can't vote because the option of "no problems" is not listed.
6.3b has been flawless for me ever since they fixed the data problem a couple of weeks ago.

I voted about the reboots, although I'm not sure if the problem really is 6.3b, and the unit is actually across the country, so troubleshooting is hard. What I can say is that just after I moved across the country, my HDTiVo (which my wife is using at our house) got 6.3b and now hangs probably once or twice a day. She has to unplug it and plug it back it for anything to work.
She's going to catch up on recordings over the next couple of weeks and then do a clear and delete everything to see if that helps. Frankly, if it doesn't we'll probably just drop DirecTV and go to cable for the interim until we remerge households.

I too am not covered by the poll.
6.3b completely fixed my HR10.
With 6.3a I had:
Frequent reboots.
Frequent lockups, (picture frozen) requiring a deliberate reboot to fix.
Frequent "won't respond to remote or front panel" mode (picture and sound proceeds, but HR10 will not respond to any user input) requiring a deliberate reboot to fix.
"Shortened" recordings: not caused by a reboot; the HR10 would simply stop recording a show long before it was over for no apparent reason. I WATCHED it do this several times. On some occasions, it would stop one recording while a recording on another channel would continue perfectly.
Audio dropouts, primarily on my local FOX HD channel.
6.3b corrected all these problems! :up: :)

Mine downloaded 6-3b from the satellite, but I still have the phone unplugged and am still afraid to plug it back in. ;) I'm waiting until the "no reboots" significantly outnumber the "many reboots" total.

I have had 6.3B for 3 weeks with no issues. Poll is flawed without that option.

You need an option for 'have 6.3b, no reboots, no problems'.
I have had 0 reboots since they fixed the guide data 2 weeks ago and I've verified that by looking at the uptime.
No reboots, no problems with 6.3b here.

I didn't have any reboots the first couple of weeks I had 6.3b, but they're back, I have two or three a week. Also locked up on me once. And I had to unplug/reboot three times to get it back up and running.

didn't vote, because everything is running smoothly with 6.3b.

I hadn't seen a reboot since it updated the Monday night AFTER the American Idol premiere.
But yesterday I hit the 30Second Skip button and it jumped to the end of the program.
I saw 3 glitches in House last night that looked like what I'd see when the audio would return after a long drop in 3.6a

No problems no reboots. Need a button added to the poll.

No reboots. No problems with 6.3b.
Folks still having these sorts of problems with 6.3b should be posting more details about their equipment because it's likely that something else is wrong (hard drive problems, overheating, etc.).

no vote for "I have 6.3b and I don't have any problems"?

Had 6.3b reboots while trying to surf the now sluggish HD OTA channels. Why is OTA navigation slower now with the bottom blue banner popping up every time??

I had been running 3.1.5f for two years and never had one reboot. I finally upgraded to 6.3b on Sunday, and last night during bones, the machine reboots about 30 minutes into the show. I was watching it off the now playing list, not live. Needless to say, the wife was not impressed.

Reboots, audio dropouts and that Green Thumbs up on Fox shows I am already watching/recording.

I've never had a reboot ... and you didn't create that OBVIOUS option.

All with perfect machines just use the unused last option and it can be an inside secret club. ;)
