Add me to list of problems with 1.9.  Only on my 7232. It it has gotten to the point where I have stopped recording because even live TV is pixelated when I am recording something else. We have 3 other DVRs with no problems since 1.9.  I don't even try calling because I have done all (unplug, etc), am just waiting for new upgrade.  I am a software developer so it is frustrating when you know it has to be software since there was absolutely no problems before 1.9.  Just fix the program or give me back the previous version!!!!

Not 100% sure. Was the standard one about a year ago. I think the 7200.

we hope to be able to provide an update which will  address this issue but I cannot confirm the timing of it yet as the software is still being finalized.

I am having the same problems everyone else describes:  Video playback pixelation/freezing.  I also notice that the box is very slow to respond to commands from the remote control. 

My box is a 7232.

    Same here have both a 7232/p2 and 7216 dvrs - my 7232 pixelates on live and recorded shows, which has me looking to go back to Directv.  My 7216  DVR has the skip ahead freezing feature where you have to restart the show after skipping ahead.  All of this started with the 1.9 downgrade.

    I've been told they are working on the skip issue - but to fix pixelation I was told to reseat all connections ...

Eh, careful what you wish for Soupy. I just came back to FiOS after four months of Directv's buggy DVRs. Paid an early termination fee willingly because they were so frustrating. Verizon's - at least the 7232s I have - are like nirvana comparatively.
