But they will have to remove the update from the stream in a few hours after spooling it. That happened with a 622 update that went bad, by the time I checked again it was gone. BTW I check at 5:30 AM and around 9:00 PM, they usually spool software around 11:00 PM (all Pacific time).

I too had been recording all my programs and then exporting them to the hard drive. It was easier to do it that way instead of all the "Locked Event" listings on the DVR list......
I liked the folders for organizing programs but I'll go back to the old way if it sends my external drive content back to the USB Storage area only.....

I found where and when this happened before: http://www.satelliteguys.us/dish-net...n-409-a-2.html
Exact same thing - satellite-delivered HD locals in 1080i had problems when delayed or recorded - in version 406 and then version 409 and was rolled back to 405 on July 24, 2007. Version 441 was spooled 3 weeks later with "MPEG4 macroblocking fix".
I have heard that this time, E* will spool a L511 fix rather than rolling back... maybe it just includes the code from L441 ?

Just got off the phone with Dish Technical Support and the "Tier 3" tech I got was not aware that any issues existed with L510 and pretty much said they couldnt do anything for me. In fact when my wife called earlier they wanted to replace the receiver as we are getting the same macroblocking on HD content on our 622....
This is getting old really quick.

--DD73 | The Phone Tech Support people are uninformed.
There is a version L511 which is believed to solve the problem which is being tested right now.

I saw a cool new feature in the software.. the popup menu for guide info when you're on a channel (the darker one, not the see through one) shows the satellite it's connected to..
