That doesn't sound good for me.

So Wareagle your box would reboot everyday and cause the guide to clear so you would never know what was on?

I really want to get the HDMI switching setup but so far it’s really been a pain and it sounds like the pain just gets worse if I push for the upgrade.

Anyone have any suggestions or possible solutions?

The reboot problems with the 3412 and 12.35 firmware aren't limited to me, but they may be a result of an interaction with the Microsoft guide software in Washington State, which was updated at the same time.  Many customers in the Seattle area have experienced the problems, and some have had the firmware reverted to 12.31.  The reboots seem to be triggered primarily by use of the transport functions, either while recording or with OnDemand -- the more activity, the more frequent the problems.  They didn't require a lengthy reload of guide data, since the Microsoft guide seems to retain those on the drive for quick restoration.

P.S.
You'll probably get new firmware when Comcast feels like sending it out, without regard to any requests on your part.

Braintree.  That's where John Adams lived, right? 
Interesting name.

There is a firmware push coming on 11/2.  I'm not sure what made it into final but this is the date I have from the guys in deployment (not even sure what version this push is).  Glad I'm so full of info.

Patrick, since there is so much variation in firmware versions currently available in different Comcast regions, could you be more specific as to where, or what version number you refer to?
