New Software Updates Discussion Thread

[Hall]

As long as they take between releases, they really can't let updates go sometimes... When it's typically months and they have something fairly bad, they've got to roll-back updates. I'm still curious to see if this one goes full-release. It won't affect me, but with Dish putting so much emphasis on HD-LiLs, they'd BETTER not release this one !

I agree, they really need to seriously roll this one back, and fast. What this does to recorded HD is hideous! Watching HD is just fine if you're watching it live, but recorded, it's messed up...

[Smith, P.]

I'm afraid they will not. New smart card coming.

[long_time_DNC]

And the point of adding new/more HD if you can't even DVR it and watch it decently would be?

They need to fix this issue or roll it back, regardless of when the new smartcards are shipping.

The tech portal shows 5.10 going out to more receivers. Since Randall hasn't posted more info on it I'm hoping they changed their mind.

Just what I posted this morning for the 301 receivers. They did spool some beta software that goes to the beta testers only (I won't post the serial numbers) and L510 is in the range. So they must be trying to fix it.

You gotta wonder why they're touching the code related to MPEG decoding unless they're "tweaking" it.

[long_time_DNC]

I wish they'd test their "tweaks" better before throwing them out and hosing stuff up... Sheesh!
