Here is what I see now that I have updated:

1 - When turning on the 770 (booting up) it seems the progress bar gets about 1/8 of the way then resets (the screen blinks) and starts at zero again. It then gets to about a 1/3 of the way and stops (but the 770 looks like it is continuing to boot up) then a few seconds later the home screen appears.
2 - On a couple of occasions I have had 770 reboot immediately after the initial booting process completes and getting to the home page.
3 - The control panel memory seems to work much better now.
4 - It does seem to handle memory conditions better as I too have had no "out of memory" alerts. ESPN now works!

Has anyone else noticed the same booting issues as I annotated in 1 & 2 above?
