ViP211: L3.46 adds Broadband and DishComm
ADVERTS 1
I just noticed a setup selection for Broadband and DishComm on the ViP211 install menu. L3.46 downloaded yesterday, and I don't think those features were available before that.
Sometime this weekend I'll try running a cable to the receiver and see how it reacts. DishComm looked around for compatible devices, but didn't find any in my house.

I got the L3.46 on 2 of my VIP211's. You need to add the device in the setup for it to find anything. On one receiver, i added the "R" number of the second receiver that has DishComm and it found it. When the other 2 receivers get the update, i'll add them.
Hope this helpsEverytime i try to think.....Nothin Happens!

What about non-VIP SD receivers? Do I have to manually add the VIP receiver numbers for each receiver for this function to work or does it autoseek and find? If you have to manually add it, what purpose does it serve?

non-ViP receivers don't have this functionality.

Does this mean that the VIP211 can Dishcomm the broadband connection off of my VIP722?
I don't have ethernet on my VIP211's, but I'd set up Dishcomm if this works.

I have software L435 also. Can I force a software update by unplugging the power cord and plugging it back in?

You can't force a firmware download until it's in "Full" release. L3.46 is still in "Partial" release, so it's only going to a subset of the 211 receivers.

This sucks because I just did an install for a guy who was getting a 722/211 setup. The 211 was to be installed upstairs and it was adjacent to a phone jack. When it downloaded, it only took the 435, not the 436. So, we couldn't DishComm his 722. We had to put in another solution at his cost. Bummer.
