L4.01 For ViP622 Is Coming!

[Sammy033]

If we were *truly* lucky maybe external storage would be sneaked in early. But as always with anything software related Im just hoping nothing important breaks.

So if this is a non-forced update how to we tell our happy little 622's to get it?

It's probably governed by serial # and in partial release to make sure there aren't any significant issues.

I could be wrong though

Best,

All that you saw on the tech chat and more.

I hear it is very stable as well.

You can't expect us to remember anything before 2 PM today. Tthis was what was promised on the chat

just in case........ I will be doing the nightly update, as well as a check switch and a power down/reboot.....

whether this helps or not isn't the point... the fact that it makes me feel better is.

Like John said, they go by receiver's numbers. Since it's a Partial Phase release, only receivers on the batch they chose will get it. When it goes to Full Phase, all receivers will get it.

Good luck to those that get it first.

Check this - you'll find how it governing.

installed a 625 today in single mode and noticed it had side by side pip.

It will make ZERO difference. Worst case, you could end up doing this every night up 'til Mar 1 until ALL receivers get it. Turn the receiver 'off' when you go to bed each night and it will take the update when it's serial # range comes up. You CANNOT force anything.

Looks like my old view source trick is still working!

Hasn't Dish learned not to hide stuff from us?

We have some of the smartest people in the world here and they always find the hidden stuff.

L4.01 doesn't spooling today.

 

[sA :: Shaggy]

L4.01 doesn't spooling today.

not today tomarrow 2/22/07...... wait thats 2 days..

 

[CKNA]

It not definate it will spool then I am told it has been tentaivly scheduled for Partial release on Thursday, in fact I was told its a 50 / 50 shot it would go out then.

I hope it does, cant wait for some new goodies.

I just hope that they really fix DD audio output on HDMI and audio dropouts when playing shows from HDD.

 

[Scott Greczkowski]

From what I am hearing from Beta testers the new software works really well and is really solid.

I am looking forward to getting it.

 

[ClevelandRob]

Not much for me to get excited about here. I'm sure it will be nice for some. I never use PIP (except for tuner swapping). Hopefully they are hard at work at making it possible for me to schedule my 622 via the internet!! That would be DishONLINE!

 

[Stacy A]

I just want it to fix the two second black screen and black spikes that show up intermittently on my 622. I have phoned it in to tech support and they made a note of it on my account. I was waiting for a software update to see if it might help. If this doesn't, then I'm calling back and requesting a new 622.

 

[RandallA]

Software updates for the 622 and 921 are still hidding in there. I wonder if they will release it tomorrow.

 

[navychop]

This is Dish. Live the adventure.

:haha :haha :haha :up

It should be. They've certainly had a long enough time to work on it since our last update!

But I'll be happy to see it. I wasn't too interested in the map down until a couple of days ago when I found out my wife was recording SD programs that had HD versions available!

There is only one feature I hope is present in this upgrade, and thats the ability for the receiver to automatically change output resolutions based on content. I'm sick and tired of constantly having to switch between 1080i and 480p depending on what I'm watching.

You shall be disappointed.
