Seems some fixes for ATSC 3.0 devices and speedier channel tuning for all devices are the big changes.

Warning to anyone with PRIME devices. Someone has 3 of them, and now can no longer tune channels on 2 of them:

I'm not sure if this is a software or firmware issue but here it is. After updating my 3 Prime devices to 20210210 two of them have lost all their channels but the Emergency
Alert System (EAS) channel. Prior to the firmware update all 3 Primes had roughly 500 channels. I also have 2 Connects (2 tuner type) and both retained their OTA channels.
On the two problem units I've tried all the usual tricks. Unplugging/Replugging, re-installing the software, re-installing the new firmware. If I had a copy of the old firmware I would have tried that, too.
Any suggestions? Anything you want from me?
I've run these Primes for many years and I've never had any problem with firmware upgrades.

I have 2 Primes and have no problem with the new firmware.

Edit
I see a new firmware just came across to update.

FWIW - my Prime updated fine and all 3 tuners are still working OK.

No problem with the update here. 1 Prime, 1 Connect Quatro, 1 Connect 4K. But thanks for the heads-up. I found the forum thread, and see that Nick is trying to help that user diagnose the problem: https://forum.silicondust.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=119&t=75015

Mine auto updates built in, since i have not installed and run HDHR software to update the firmware, on any computer since i purchased it 2yrs ago. that is how i used to have to update the Prime the many years i had it, keep a Windows computer around just for that purpose.

it has this 2021 firmware and is operating no different than it has been. Quadro Connect OTA tuner.

FYI... updated my CONNECT QUATRO and PRIME a couple weeks ago and all is well.
