Thread: L3.49 for the ViP211 receivers

Heads up! mdonnelly maybe they will finally let us keep this one to fix the OTA problem.

8/1/2007: 1000 Software Version L3.49 for ViP211

Effective Wednesday, August 1st, Engineering plans to spool a PARTIAL PHASE of software version L3.49 for the ViP211 receiver. This is primarily a non-forced maintenance release available at ALL satellite locations.
At this time L3.45, L3.49 will be the valid software version for the ViP211.

Started last night. Details posted on same place.

Thanks Smith,

Thanks for the head's up. I've got my fingers crossed. It's like the E* programmers can't walk and chew gum at the same time. Fix one thing, break another.

I looked at my 211 this morning, but I guess it hadn't begun spooling yet. I'll check again tonight.

Yeah will check my 411 and 211 will let everyone know if I see anything different.

Well my 411 got the L3.49 and my 211 does not have it yet. The L3.49 has the Yellow Text in the guide like the L3.46 did. I did not half to do a hard reboot on my receive like I had to when it got the L3.46 so that is fixed. Anyway I do not have a OTA so I could not tell you if they addressed any of those issues. Those who did have OTA issues keep you eye out for the L3.49. A quick way to tell if you have it is by using your guide the yellow text will show up telling you to hit guide to go to your next selection. Again let us know if OTA issues go addressed.

I haven't gotten it yet. Maybe next time.

I'll report tonight when I get home. I hope they fixed the OTA issue.

Well spoke to soon. I went for a walk came back and the TV had a flashing snowing screen. Only way I got it back to normal was doing a hard reboot. Which what I mean by that is powering off the receiver and then unplugging it. Then I plugged it back in which got things back to normal. Hopefully I will not report any more issues.
