I did manual upload of 2.11 but used a prior version of winfup because the latest winfup was not available at that point in time. Uploading core and data seperately, the update appeared to be successful. The G98 was however behaving oddly so I did the recommended retype but my HDMI output was not as good as it was previously. Hoping that a more up to date version of winfup may sort things, I performed the update again and this trashed the G98. Winfup now returns one of two errors - Bad authentication and a timeout. This occurs once it has erased the memory. The unit then hangs with the Meridian logo and downloading.

So far, all suggestions by Meridian tech support to recover the situation have now failed so it looks like a short vacation for my G98 is now on the cards.

The good news is that 1080p appeared to work on my Loewe Xelos SL although the poor HDMI output now affecting 720p/1080i/1080p have made it impossible to tell whether it will be better or as stable as 720p that I have used up until now.
