If you have channels without a -1 subchannel (or if you've deleted or skipped the -1), the iView firmware lets you tune it by just entering a channel number. The second big advantage may or may not apply to you. But the iView remote does have a few extra buttons, a couple of which (Aspect and PVR) you may find useful. But since you're using a universal remote that will emulate either a HomeWorX or iView remote, that's not a big advantage for you. Of course, if you don't like it for some reason, you can always go back to 5.3.įor me, the biggest advantage was the iView remote, which I really like.

Hell who knows, should work as you already had to change remotes.I agree. Oh and JHBrandt I would guess your iview since you successfully flashed 2.1 could also test all these versions. Only tested so far by me on my 150 that was originally running v5. Anyone wanna jump in and test all 4 versions for all known issues and make a spreadsheet? I am not sure I have the patience or time to do it myself but seems like a spreadsheet like that would be very helpful to people in here who own either a 150 or 180 that is 7802 based.Īlso untested but lends itself to reason that any 150's that can run 2.1 and any 180s running 8.1 or 11 should be able to test this as well. Not sure how much more testing I am going to do the remote issues I have that started me down this path seem to exist on both the 180 and the 150. V11 - What I an currently on faster remote response and cc working on playback V8.1 - didn't really test but supposed to be slower remote response and cc on playback V2.1 - slower remote response but cc working in playback V5 - faster remote response time but cc broken on playback well I haven't been able to test everything not sure if anyone would like to help but here is what I have found so far: **** Just in case you didn't see it before the remotes are different between the 180 and 150 so you will either need a remote from each or a universal programmable in order to be successful at this. V8.1 (Equivalent version to 2.1 but on the 180) V2.1 (recommended version for cc on the 150) V5 (original shipping firmware on my unit) Current version I have tried and that have worked: I just confirmed this with tech support and also cross flashed on my own unit. Well guess what other then the remotes they are cross flash-able. OK so that leave the 150 and the 180 both of which have the 7802 soc. I am pretty sure almost no one is interested in the older 180 that doesnt have recording capabilities. The 130 like the 180 also will NEVER support dolby 5.1 that feature is unique to the 150 series.Īs many in here know there are 2 versions of the 150 and 2 versions of the 180. but they may well break something else or worse never release a fix at all. Sure the may have a firmware release that fixes it eventually. Unfortunately that version does NOT support playback of cc on recordings. The 130 only has 1 version of firmware and thats what it ship with. Aka in spite of the fact the hardware is near identical you cannot successfully load the 180 firmware on the 130. Tech support has also stated you cannot cross flash firmware. The main differences are the Power supply on the 130 is removable and the 130 is much smaller footprint. I wont rehash my previous posts just state what I found out and to ask for help testing some things for those who are willing.įirstly the new 130 is ALMOST identical to the 180 hardware wise. Had a long chat with tech support about the three main homeworx units presently on the market. YOU WILL SURELY BRICK IF YOU TRY ANY OF THIS ON A 7816 UNIT. NONE OF THIS APPLIES TO THE 7816 UNITS!!!!!!!!! PLEASE NOTE I HAVE A 7802 HOMEWORX HW150 UNIT. Ok guys and gals settle back this is gonna be a long post but definitely worth it
