Sounds to me like you should be thanking those volunteers working behind the scenes. You've just been saved an immediate re-image to come in line or at least an ongoing workaround.
However, the recommendation is still to pick a time and move to 8000. I think we can expect more frequent headend changes over the coming year with D1 and digital on its way.
The manual legacy headend system is at best hit and miss, as you have found out. No guarantees at all. As for logos, simply put, the legacy system doesn't support them... never has, logos are only setup correctly on the current system. My recollection is when your tivo updates itself, you loose all logo associations (cartoon network for all I recall)
The current system on 8000 has automatically generated headends, those of us on the current emulator never saw a problem - the recent providers changes went through smoothly on the day, no logo issues, things have been stable since inception (Feb '06).
