Mine is 93/2 as well. The twitter team advised that i should format the decoder. Isn't that a bit extreme?
"Athena 5" doesn't tell us enough about what update you have, please go to:
Help \ General Information \ Loader Status
and tell us what the "Load ver/var" numbers are. Mine is 93/2 (Explora 1).

I've now got Athena 5 so that looks likely. Re the s/w build number, they often skip numbers without any pattern.
I think the delay may be that they're still experimenting with a few like they did with you, or maybe it's some further work now wanted.

I now think I've just been biased here - just realised that they can't remove the original copies until everyone gets the new software. LOL, sorry MC...
Thanks @krugie
Maybe the first issue has been put aside until the main damage is considered repaired. It appears to further confirm that there's been too many involved sections not working well with each other.
But glad to say I've seen nothing further re the CU coordination and usage concerns I reported earlier, new title arrivals are listed the same and working ok in any section choice re my content interests.
Perhaps too early to say that's now fixed but there's definitely been some CU work involved, although maybe some of you had it before - every movement in changing the CU sections or tabs results in a screen refresh, in most sections that has each line briefly displaying the replacement word "Loading..." instead.
Fortunately it's not slowing the workings down.

So I think this crisis is over in large part, but will senior MC have finally learnt to let blue collar do its job properly, whatever the cost??

EDIT: When streaming CU+ , the initial countdown screen is now just a countdown clock, forced ads appear to be gone :-)
That's it from me for now.
I've reported the 1st issue a few times to MC - thought it would be fixed before any further roll-out....
As for the forced ads, I think some titles have them and others not - if there is no ad you will see the countdown - but I speak under correction.
