will this be the first time they didn't release a companion CPS version? R18 CPS just came out last month!
I see the F/W on my acct, but still showing R18 CPS.

Interesting. Wonder if 18 was such a POS in Beta, they skipped it. Odd.

Looks like they had some major bugs in DVRS, but it's still strange... why not just call it R18.23.04 instead of jumping to R19?

Makes me wonder if the CPS will be updated very shortly as well?

Just updated two BRAVO122 based XTS5Ks, no problems. I do notice that CPS R18 takes a little extra time reading. Using an OEM serial cable on a Win XP SP3 machine with 2GB of RAM.

Just did a few XTS's. They went very smoothly and only had to update 1 secure board that I must of neglected to update a few revisions ago.
Rest were up to date and no dropped keys.

I didn't see any speed issues with R18 using OEM USB on a Win7 Professional w/8GB RAM.
