does this tv have the hvec encoder (HDCP 2.2) or can the software be updated online or automatic updates

The software can be updated. The set has wifi capability and can upgrade over your network connection. Be aware that if your network/internet is interrupted for any reason for even a few seconds, you will have to start over. If the set is within a reasonable distance from the router, you might want to make an ethernet connection.

I checked Vizio's website. Here is the link to the latest firmware update for the VM230XVT:http://www.vizio.com/vm230xvt.html#supportGood Luck!

I don't recall but when I set up my TV and went to the Roku it did a software update to the latest version.

Ubuntu 12.04 had built in drivers so I imagine later versions will have the same. Most people I know use MythTV as the tuning software. Good luck!

Yes, it has 1 HDMI 2.0 Input See this text on the page -- Inputs: 1 HDMI 2.0, 3 HDMI 1.4 (click on 'view more technical details'). Yes, it meets the new codec requirement for 4K streaming See this text on page "4K video uses HEVC, and so the built-in HEVC decoder on this LG ULTRA HD television makes it ready to display 4K content."

I don't know if there is ab app you could use to hack it, but certainly not native. The hdmi is output to my knowledge and the hardware would never support video transcoding. There were too many artifacts in playback. I returned mine.

No TV made can decode HD bitstreams. Some receivers can, but it is irrelevant.Only computers can currently send deep color. It is not part of the spec in any of the old/new media.Having HDMI 1.3 is essentially useless on the TV.

Has anyone heard of a firmware update to cure the video "blanking out" and then coming back when using 480 input and upconverting to 1080 via hdmi cable?

http://linuxtv.org/wiki/index.php/Hauppauge_WinTV-HVR-2255I haven't tried it yet, but Linux.org says this:It is supported under Linux since kernel 4.2. (Note: Analog support is not implemented yet). Drivers are included in kernel 4.2.

The firmware for the VM230XVT is now on the Vizio website, under product page -> Support. I was having the distorted sound problem, and I applied the firmware to my TV, and it fixed the problem.

The software for the Vado HD is totally different than it was for the Vado. I have seen no evidence that the older software was buggy. Please show me where you saw that Anyway the Vado HD has totally new and more capable software so the comment is irrelavent no matter what A major upgrade in the Vado HD software capability is evident on the Creative Singapore website. As for the video quality, see the Vado HD videos on YouTube HD version for yourself. The HDMI output and included HDMI cable with the Creative Vado HD ...allows for superior TV HD as the Flip Mino HD only has a composite output to a TV Awaiting more tests, but so far, the Vado HD has so much more going for it.

I installed this WinTV-HVR-2250 last night on Win 8 Pro 64 bit. There is a download on the support web page for this card at Hauppauge.com that addresses an issue with Media Center. The setup in Media Center goes fine until it scans for channels and reports fewer than expected or none found. Media Center did not report finding the analog cable channels in my case. The support document instructs you to ignore that and go into the Guide configuration in Media Center to add the channels. I did this and it worked. The high definition channels look fantastic.

I do not have media center and it works fine. The processing is done in the HVR

Yes the one ending on 400 is the latest version. I just updated from 300 to this, and it solved all sorts of HDMI intermittent cutout issues I was having. Its an April 2013 update - but looks like my issue was solved with the Oct 2012 update.

I bought mine only 2 weeks ago and the firmware I have now is dated 8/24/07 and xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx-1036. I have not tweaked my settings yet. The defaults are looking very good with free over the air HD channels. Put in HD channels or blueray player or Hd-dvd player, if all look good then just be happy with it.I can't say for sure about the refurbished unit.

Isn't it just the EyeTV software that's updated? Wouldn't the hardware unit be the same? Where would you find a version change for the hardware unless there is a name change?

Have you checked the video codec needed and that it is installed on your computer?
