From Dish - Upcoming 811 P285 Release Notes
ADVERTS 1
The folloing comes passed along from Jason at DBSTalk.COM
Software release P285 is scheduled to hit the birds in partial release (Phase 1) February 15th.
This release will include:
- Addition of QAM (Multiplexed) capability for the ATSC tuner. This would support installations in Multi Dwelling Units (MDU) applications such as apartments and hotels where they use DISH Network service converted to QAM. At this time the QAM format released will not support "Open" architecture which is the type used single family residential systems.
- Expanded capacity favorites list
- A new search feature for the EPG similar to that on a PVR. (This feature works in RAM and not a Hard Disk cache so it will be slower than it's NBS PVR cousin.)
- SPDIF Header improvements for Dolby Digital 5.1. (Compatibility improvements which changes the way a validity bit is set. This improves performance and solves some of the compatibility issues. One more patch is expected for DD5.1 in P286)
- Enhancement for boot recovery
- Extension of guide to 3 day
- Enhancement for MPEG restarts (BSOD, Inverted BSOD corrections)

A new shiny search function and a nifty new 3 day guide. Wow... that's... swell!
I don't have a DVR yet so that will assist me with my vcr recordings. Very nice.
Big BlueWhat I have:
Toshiba 51H82, Dish 811 Receiver that I don't even use, HD DVD A20, PS3 for Blu-ray, Scientific Atlanta 8300, Comcrap HD (enjoying what used to be superior HD PQ but no choices and climbing rates! Now just climbing rates and over compressed bitrates), and an itch for reliable, quality and quantity HD programming....
Why won't someone scratch me!?

You've probably noticed they are going to remove the Ch. 9500 access to that app, and only make it available in the Ch. 100 menu. I don't recall seeing a specific date listed, so maybe that date is today and it's partially gone, confusing your receiver...

They won't hear about those bugs from me anyway. I'm happy with P2.84, and I'm not accepting any 811 downloads for the forseeable future. Originally Posted by n0qcu
