hi, you got pm with instructions.

I'm having the same issues.

I've installed Plex into the smart hub. Cinavia warnings coming up now.

Random restarts, freezes.

Massive problem with the PVR not actually recording the whole program - that's incredibly annoying.

Can anyone help me out downgrading or hacking too?

HELP! i upgraded my BD-D8500 to the latest firmware and now i plagued with stability issues! Is it possible to do a firmware downgrade /custom firmware? and i can do without the cinavia crap as well.

I had following firmware: BPH-D8500EUB-1010.1
I managed to install B-FIRHRDEUC_001107 by following the first post in this thread: viewtopic.php?f=18&t=4244

Now I have firmware 1007 and everything is fine (managed to install SamyGo Extensions, Samba shares and decrypt recordings (not verified though)), almost. Sometimes when started up it freezes immediately, but solved by holding power button until it is off and power up again.

Now if I could figure out how to record over samba and verify that the records are decrypted, that would be great.
