How to Force Update on 625

[SgtRock]

I've searched for the force procedure, but can't find it on here. My 625 is still at L298, and I turn my tuner off every night. Don't understand why it hasn't moved up to the newest software....

Thanx!!!

I called dish and they said they were pushing the update. No good... Any idea?

What happens if you run check switch and then let it sit for 15 minutes? Have you guys tried that?

Thanks but no good. Could it just not be in the stream today?

The software update is in the stream but your receiver won't take it. Why don't you try Technical Support? They might know a way to force the update.

until they push it for "all" receivers, if your R00 number isn't in the list you won't get it period.

Well, it was going Full Phase when I checked on Wednesday. I just checked now and it's Partial Phase so that explains it why the OP is not getting it.

Dial out Error

Mine has it.

According to my diag screen the last dial out was on Sept 18th.

I have a DVR625 with a Voice over IP System (A company called Lingo). When I test my phone connection, it states that the phone connection is good. When I try dial out option it gives me a Dial out error. I was told by dish that there may be a prefix code I need to enter. Any inputs?
