Well, after almost 2 weeks of testing, I would say this is a finally a real fix. In fact, I had originally thought my HDMI board was bad based on the (infamous Onkyo) symptoms. It seemed completely dead with many of the options greyed out on the Home screen.
With this new firmware, the system has been completely stable, no problems with network streaming apps or network control at all. It is almost like I have a brand new receiver. The Vera incompatibility must have completely crashing the control board.
My Onkyo NR809 still getting confused with a Vera doing PNP polls with the latest firmware. My Vera is connected to my local network through the WAN port (LAN port is not being used). I have my onkyo receiver on a fixed IP address. I added the following to the /etc/firewall.user file on the vera to drop PNP traffic between Vera and Onkyo:
Adjust the IP address to match your particular setup for the Onkyo receiver and reboot. Ir allows for the Onkyo plugin to control the device and PNP polls are not causing the receiver to stop working.
Use putty or other tool to make a secure shell connection to your vera. Loging with root password: your_wifi_key. Use vi to modify the /etc/firewall.user file. Alternatively use winscp tool to make a scp connection and copy files between windows and vera.
I have an Onkyo NR-808 and a Vera3 and I can not wait to try! My hopes of Onkyo fixing the issue on their end are slim and I have already spend endless hours trying everything.
First though, I will have to figure out how to add something to the /etc/firewall.user file.
Maybe you could point me to a tutorial or other text, or maybe just tell me the key steps?
I am usually not totally inept, just have very little experience with linux and non with luua.

Although I have not tried this, I like the sound of this method a lot. I ended up putting my Vera on a separate VLAN (dd-wrt). Out of the box, Vera cripples Onkyo receivers when on the same network.
Is this still an issue? I had this problem over a year ago and had to update my Onkyo TX NR616 firmware which seemed to have cured it. However, I am now having issues with the receiver again which seem to be the same symptoms as I had before. I now cannot connect to my Onkyo receiver using the Onkyo android app. It will never find the receiver. I have reset the receiver and this seems to correct it. I will have to troubleshoot some more to see if Vera is creating the issue again.
