Update/Patch revisions suggestion ...

 Just a suggestion to Verizon,...

 I think that, the way it is now, as we know,  we generally wait a fairly long time for patches & fixes to various IMG problems, &  when they are released, it's 50/50 at best that the release will  also be delayed or halted even further, due to problems...

    ** Why can't much smaller actual fixes be released out more frequently, instead of seemingly always being held/being rolled into more massive updates, that also include "non problem-fix updates",  that end up having quirks ..

  **  If, for example, say there's already a fix available for the soft/degraded SD picture on 64xx boxes, simply roll that smaller fix out as 1.6.0.0022 or whatever ASAP...

 If there's a fix created for, say, the quirky DVR skip jumps, roll that out as soon as it's available as 1.6.0.0024 ....

  We all use our TV's every day, & would appreciate Real "fixes" to be sent out ASAP, not delayed in order to be rolled into bigger non-problem fix IMG upgrades, menu changes & the like ..

 Keep the IMG upgrades on a different priority from actual Box & DVR problem  "fixes" ...

   Some Problems I'm aware of:

 DVR skip biutton misses a skip ever few consecutive presses.

 When selecting & playing a DVR recording that isn't yet finished, the display doesn't say "Play"as it should & used to show, but rather shows the channel number.

 Poor SD pic quality on 64xx/25xx boxes.

 When getting a power failure or unplugging box, Audio Compression setting resets to "heavy" if it was on another setting.

 HUB errors on Remote DVR.

 DVR sometimes won't "stop"

I know they can do it. That's why it is 1.6 FW but has a build number. If the build is updated, does not mean its a firmware rollout just a patch. So it would not be hard to put into practice. And I would love to see them utilize the update built feature.
