If you had these issues and they got worse with .74, you should try moving your router and/or satellites so they are closer and/or have fewer walls and building materials in between them. The satellites will drop if they do not have a good and stable signal over time. The latest firmware seemed to reduce the satellite to router range for some folks and moving things solved thier issues.
