New Software Updates Discussion Thread

[teachsac]

teachsac, just to be clear, are you referring to me (same posting name)?

No, the RandallA from the Bay area with the username RandallA.

Of the few users that received this update and are actually reporting from the Bay area, there is one user on the other site that is reporting pixelation just as I am experiencing. RandallA is experiencing OTA locks from the bay area that he is not experiencing on his other receiver.

Sacramento and San Francisco are two different sets of locals entirely.

You are in Sacramento (such as Channel 40).

I know where I am and I know where the Bay area is. I know which locals both get. You said the Bay Area is experiencing no problems. I was pointing out that that is not entirely accurate as RandallA and another bay area sub are both experiencing difficulties with 6.15. RandallA with OTA and the other user with problems similar to mine pixelating/blocking/video locking.

Do you have 6.15?

If you actually read my posts, you won't the words "Bay Area", I always stated "San Francisco".

I also went to the other site, and could not find anyone in San Francisco describing any pixelating on satellite-delivered locals. They are all in Saint Louis.

PS OTA seems to vary a lot, but it seems odd that RandallA has the problem with one receiver and not the other - it could be simply a substandard chip in the receiver with the problem.

Does this mean they are pushing out L615 to all receivers now, going a few at a time using serial numbers?

Yes, this is the normal slow roll.

I noticed on my 622 with L614, I see an option to record to the External Hard Drive. I gather that it's referreing to a PocketDish and not a Archive EHD, right?

[Smith, P.]

Yes.
Try it, during my attempt I got a question about IR code to control the "External" device.

[Sponge14]

Yes, this is the normal slow roll.

Is the number I need to look at the R00 8611 ****-** number in the menu, 6 1 3 system info screen? If so how long do you think it will be before I get my 615 update? I record a lot of local shows and the sound dropping is killing me!!!

[Grandude]

Since autotune fails now with 615 if receiver is off I have now created my own personal workaround (fix) for it. I simply create a second autotune a minute or two after the first one. The first one turns the receiver on and the second one does the actual tuning.
