Netgear has released a new firmware (ver 2.0.145) for the EVA8000. It adds many new features (new interface, skinning ability), support for new formats/codecs (mkv, ts and more). Here's a partial list of enhancements and fixes:

  • UPnP networking fixes
  • Default skin uses FlareHD
  • Alphabetize skin list
  • YouTube interface fixes
  • Miscellaneous UI fixes
  • Fixed issue where unable to get back to full screen video or photo after playing internet radio
  • Fixed issue where grouping entries of the same type is shown multiple times
  • MP3 files with blank ID3 entries now shows up in the media list
  • Miscellaneous UI tweaks and fixes
  • Added support to queue playback of RSS videos. Pressing "Play" on any feed will queue up all the feeds for sequential playback
  • Fixed issue where trickmode (FF,REW) was causing aspect ratio switching on some DVD rips
  • Fixed issue where unable to exit PIP after using Flickr
  • Pressing SkipFW or SkipBK allows skipping of videos in a queue
  • Now able to return to PC session after pressing home > home
  • Fixed parental control filtering so videos that cannot be played is no longer shown on any browse list
  • Shut off optical PCM after every session
  • To update your EVA8000, use the "Update from Internet" function in the Supervisor menu. The NA (North American) version is definately on the server and the other regions should also be available.

    I have a question can you send me the new software i am running on Ver. 1.2.20IS at the moment. I have see you have the nieuw UK software.

    If you have it let me know please

    The North American version is out on the Updates Server for sure as I have updated to it. As far as the other regions, Netgear still has not posted it to the Update Server. I don't know what the hold up is or why support doesn't know about the new version other then they must not be communicating internally within the departments at NetGear. If you want to try the NA version until they release the other regions, you can go to here:

    http://kbserver.netgear.com/release_notes/d103153.asp

    Download the North American version and flash your EVA to it, then use the "Update from Internet" function on the EVA to get the 2.0.150NA version from the Update Servers.

    Edit: Just posted over at the NetGear support forums asking when the other regions will be posted. As soon as I get an answer I'll post back here.

    Just an update to this thread, NetGear has release a newer version of the firmware (2.0.159) and is available now for all regions. There has also been another update to the DEW software. Both updates are available directly through the update function in the EVA8000's Supervisor menu and the DEW software's "Check for updates" shortcut in Start/All Programs/NETGEAR Digital Entertainer for Windows program group.

    I just updated to the latest firmware (today 07/02/08, Version 2.0.159) and I can now no longer see or connect to my wireless router (BT Home Hub). I have tried to discover it, no luck, I have tried typing the SSID in, no luck. I can connect via a wire without issue.

    The Home Hub is fine I can connect from lots of other wireless devices in the house, and I can see it is broadcasting.

    Anyone had any similar experiences with the latest firmware?

    February 12, 2008 8:27 AM

    I'm having some trouble finding any newer versions of the firmware than 1.2.20. The links posted here (http://kbserver.netgear.com/release_notes/d103153.asp ) and any other links seems to direct me to that version. Is this because this is the latest european version?

    I feel quite ready to try anything at this moment. The version i'm running on now just isn't working.

    February 12, 2008 9:04 AM

    Update it directly from the Internet right on the EVA8000 itself. It's under the "Supervisor" menu, "Updates" - Update from Internet.
