New firmware update sc200 - 2007/09/29 08:20Hello,
I was wondering if anybody has already downloaded and tried the latest firmware upgrade for the pinnacle 200. (SC200_FW_21_63)
I think it is a sorta a downgrade and only usefull for vista users?
I dare not install it.Pinnacle showcenter 200 Windows XP

Re: New firmware update sc200 - 2007/10/01 05:51The following details are from the Pinnacle support website:
New features
* A much improved UPnP AV client with better compatibility to popular UPnP AV server software * Windows Vista support by using Windows Media Player as the server (Note: the Pinnacle server software is not compatible with Windows Vista) * WMV9 fast forward/rewind improvements
Known open issues in this BETA version
* Playback of DivX v3 AVI files is no longer supported * Dolby® Digital audio will not be sent to the analog outputs, even if you enabled this feature * With a Wi-Fi connection, servers may not appear until ShowCenter 200 is turned off and on again * Internet radio may take a long time to start playing * DRM-protected WMA or WMV files do not play when using the Pinnacle server software
Due to those "little" issues, I think I'll stick with the existing firmware!

I wouldn't count on it.
That firmware's marked as Beta - maybe the final release will be a bit better.Showcenter 200 SwissCenter 1.19.2 Athlon 64 X2 4400+ 2GB RAM, 2 x 500GB, 1 x 320GB & 1 x 300GB HDD Windows Vista Ultimate Edition

Re: New firmware update sc200 - 2008/02/03 17:29Just an FYI..
There is a post in the Pinnacle forums that at least one person has rendered his ShowCenter useless by installing the beta firmware and then trying to apply the downgrade....Showcenters 1000g/200/250HD Popcorn Hour A-100 Netgear HDX101 Powerline Adapters Windows XP Simese 2.07 running latest SVN NAS Server IBM NetVista 900Mhz/256RAM

Re: New firmware update sc200 - 2008/02/04 09:05I didn't had any problems returning to the old 11-14 firmware using the expanded zip-archive on an usb-stick. Before that I installed both of the new firmwares: 21-63 and 21-81. But they have two issues why I returned to the old one:
no navigation sound when changing menus
degraded font-rendering on a simple PAL display
I didn't noticed any improvements in playback.
Anyone who wants to update, should know that he will loose the network-settings and all servers configured. So, happy typing with the remote Player: Showcenter 200 Server: VIA C7 1.5GHz running GENTOO
