PS: I found a bug I never reported: Install new firmware in box. During wizard configure the tuners (I have 2 DVB-S2 + 1 DVB-T) and select to not make a search with selected configuration. After finish the wizard, my dvb-s2 tuners configuration is empty and only dvb-t tuner keep the configuration defined during the wizard!

That's what I have done, I updated in home universe, and there I see revision 'd', but in avalon I see c. Do I have to create from the beginning Avalon or no?
