Because of the storm and the brown-out, I had no time reverting my CT box to its old FW. Since this has seven days replacement warranty, I opted to bring it back to Accent Micro and have it replaced.
The replacement unit I got worked flawlessly with all the media files that was stopping and hanging. I got to finish the whole movie without encountering any problems.
Now, my thoughts:
1.) The FW of the first unit I got was 500510099161, the replacement unit's FW was IPB1009B051 - Don't they release CT's with a standard FW?
2.) Should I or should I not upgrade the FW of my CT? My fear is, if I upgrade to the latest FW, I might encounter the same problem of movies stopping and torrent DL's resetting the box. I bought the CT because of that capability.
3.) What would be the difference or assurance that the Online update wont mess up my CT? What would be the major difference of doing an online Update vs the Offline update? Downloading the FW would take around 30 minutes, but if you update Online, it will only take around 10 mins???
4.) Using the 500510099161 or IPB1009B051, the CT does not totally power down, instead, it is just like rebooting the unit. After a few seconds, the CT would power up again, yes, this was fixed in FW IPB10102111, but it totally messed up how my video files played.
What is the current FW in your CT?
