Thanks Randall.

I don't think they can rollout an ammended L4.49. Your machine recognizes whether to install a new version based on receiver type, hardware versions(bootstraps, build configs), receiver number and superceeded software versions.

You're right, looking at the range it looks like most receivers have it. They now need to fix what they broke.

If it's the same software going out to all machines, why would some have problems and others not. I haven't experienced any problems.

Too many variables. Different board revisions, different setups, etc...

I have a 722 that DOESN'T have 4.49 yet. The receiver number stop at about 845xxxxx, Mine is 855xxxxx. I guess I'm in the lucky group and don't mine waiting for a less broke verion of 4.49

Since the 449 FW was installed on my 722, I am noticing that some, but not all, DVR recordings do not go active when selected for START, or START OVER. They just sit there, showing a black screen, and not counting forward.

I have to do a 30 second Skip FWD, or regular FWD to kick them into action. I don't think I ever saw that kind of behavior before.

Several updates were spooled last night. I'm surprised L449 went out to all receivers.

My other 211 boxes got the L3.47 update today. Tonight I'll hook one up to the router, setup the DishComm, then setup the broadband, and see if it all plays.

It'll be nice to get rid of the telephone cable running across the bedroom floor.
