Hi @vldpopi. This is available now for USB update. It is not unusual for the internet update to be made available several weeks later than the manual update. If you cannot wait and are confident you know what you are doing then you should perform the USB update.

ive been upgraded via internet update. the process in self works fine but, i have an vague feel that the quality of the image drops .. mean the colours, sharpness barely not the same, also at some channels i saw more often now some drops or pixelated transitions... that could be possible with this new v8674 or isn’t any way possible that the image quality to be affected by the update.
