Title: Should I update?
Post by: wallgeye on May 11, 2011, 09:27:59 AM

Seems there are some problems with the latest updates.  Having to run things in manual, etc..  I have an 1197 that has not been in the water since last summer.  Opener is coming up in a couple days and I am wondering.  Should I update or stay with current version (not sure which one exactly think it is from last spring when they came out with the down-imaging) or update it to the latest?  I have a stand alone unit.  No ethernet.  It seems like there may have been two updates that came out since I last updated mine.  I thought there was something cool included with one of them.  Nothing I have read strikes me as a "gotta have it!" or I might be missing something.  I have it downloaded onto a SD card, just need to run the install.  A bit nervous though with the reports of issues with this update.

Thoughts??

I would stick with your current version until HB gets the bugs worked out of the last update.
