Has the Verizon Set top box reboot issue been resolved?

I found out about this when I installed my Vera system and my STB’s kept rebooting. The Verizon site has a solution, but I’d rather see Vera patch the firmware to make these settings? Correct answer: Set Top Boxes endlessly reboot - Verizon Community

Is it fixed in the firmware update?

Will I need to reset it if I lose power to the controller? Thanks
