FIRMWARE, AND BEST SETTINGS. I know there are a million posts about this, but can anyone please tell me what the latest firmware version is?

I bought mine only 2 weeks ago and the firmware I have now is dated 8/24/07 and xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx-1036. I have not tweaked my settings yet. The defaults are looking very good with free over the air HD channels. Put in HD channels or blueray player or Hd-dvd player, if all look good then just be happy with it. I can't say for sure about the refurbished unit.

There's no information from Sabrent that identifies anything about a firmware update or an answer to your second question. I will get in touch with a Sabrent PR Representative to seek information.

The updated are only for V2 of this piece of garbage. NO information from Cisco about all of the earlier models, which they appear to have dropped support for soon after selling them. The last firmware for the earlier versions is from 2009, and there is nothing on there site about any trouble with them... search the model, and you find the vast majority of users looking for some firmware fix. None available from Cisco, and none of the open source alternatives support this model. There are a few comments about going back to OLDER firmware, but Cisco does not have it available, and after much searching I have found only broken links. This thing has sucked up way too much time ion troubleshooting for what it cost.

That sucks, Ryan. Maybe when the next firmware update comes out, you can reset the unit through the menu after you update the firmware, and it will work.

I have not had the need for a firmware update, so don't know. This model has been around for several years, so it may not need an update.

Most likely you may have to update it to the latest firmware or do a reset to its original state. If this does not work, contact the vendor or manufacturer for support or exchange if the unit is defective.

I think that the firmware is the latest at the moment of your purchase, the product is working properly for me but, if an upgrade were nedeed, you must returnt it to Darbee.

@Homer SinghsonThanks for clarifying the firmware update. Lack of kinetic scrolling on the home page sounds acceptable, maybe even a good thing. Media lists really beg for KS, though. I'm glad it's there.

Thanks for the workaround. I agree it stinks to have to do this, but so much functionality for the price I probably will live with it. Maybe if we complain (and pray) enough we'll get a firmware upgrade.

Hello Just a Guy. It would be recommended to flash the firmware on the unit in order to make sure the unit is working correctly.

I read that this was an issue related to an earlier version of the software in the AP. Go to their website, download the new firmware and follow the directions to install it. This is supposed to correct the issue. I got updated firmware as soon as I installed the AP and I have not had any problems.

Hi there. I just received the older version of this. I called Amazon and asked if they had the new version with Clear-QAM. They replied that they did, and all I had to do was return the one I received. I'll let you know if I get the newer hardware revision as soon as it shows up. JohnUpdate: I just received an email from Amazon saying they don't have the new version in stock.

Also got mine with 300.C The player found the update and wanted to update, but failed 3 times trying to download it. Once it did get the download and started the update, then just froze. I went to LG's page and put the firmware on a usb drive and the player could not find it. I tried to let the player download the firmware again and half way through, it turned itself off. What is the deal with the download speed? The time it did download the whole thing, it took over 30 mins. By comparison, downloading from LG online was almost instant. Its only 47mb.

David, WOW! I am having the exact same problem with this unit. I want to update the firmware because of HDCP issues and it simply isn't possible as of yet. I've followed the SIMPLE instructions at least 10 times on 4 different flash drives to no avail. I called LG but they are clueless. This isn't an issue with the hundreds of HDMI cables that I own as they suggested, its the television itself. Please let me know if you figure anything out, I will do the same for you. I'm planning on calling again tomorrow, but I doubt very much anything useful will come out of it.

alot of the problems i read were related to firmware upgrade. Do you get a recent rev?? or do you have to do the upgrade when you bring it home?

I did get a firmware update on mine (using a Windows PC). I'm not an Apple person, so I'm not sure if updates work via Mac. I don't think it took long for the update. Do you have any friends with a PC that would let you borrow it for this purpose?

Yes I updated the firmware. It was not hard and it seemed to work. But its been a while since I've done it.
