VIP211 L346 software update

[shultz]

Anyone notice the VIP211's got a software update last night? It has to be a partial phase, only one of mine got it, the other 3 are still L345 version. The difference is in the diagnostics menu. It now has a Analysis button. Click on it and you see a USB test button (mines greyed out) and a HDMI test button. I clicked on the hdmi test, and it has a box with DISP INFO, hdmi on/off (grayed out), color space (grayed out), and HDCP enable (grayed out). Looks like maybe dish is working on the hdmi and the usb issues!

Yep, here it is:

7/10/2007: 1057 Software Version L3.46 for ViP 211/DISH 411

Effective Tuesday, July 10th, Engineering has spooled a PARTIAL PHASE of software version L3.46 for the ViP 211/DISH 411 receiver. This is primarily a non-forced maintenance release available at ALL satellite locations.
At this time L3.45 and L3.46 will be the valid software version for the ViP 211/DISH 411.

I just hope they fix the OTA problem.

Hmm good to know so folks will half to let us know if they get this one.

Hope it fixes the 100% OTA dropout bug.

I only get dropouts on 1 of my locals OTA. Of couse it is one that has some HD content that I would like to watch.

But where I live (Puget Sound area), E* still can't broadcast our FOX network because of a dispute with Tribune and it is the ONE local that I have never been able to get OTA (both antennaweb and TVFool confirms that it is next to impossible for me to get it)...

Yes, my 211 downloaded 3.46 at 0300 this morning, and appears to have caused major issues! It was working fine last night for the ESPNHD Home Run Derby, but now it won't tune in a single channel. I'm heading for tech support ASAP.

Unplug power for a few minutes and plug back in. That should fix the problem.

Thanks for the tip. I ran check switch and that fixed it.

Much more informative to post pictures of new menus/messages from your TV screen, then lengthy describe it.
Will we see it here soon ?
