Hopper S207 Software Release Notes

[Scott Greczkowski]

Thanks to DISH I have just received the software release notes for S207 which started rolling out today to the Hopper!

Here you go!

1. Fixed some bugs with apps - so we should not be seeing apps crash
2. Fixed choppy audio on Joey (audio channels) that play fine on Hopper
3. Fixed - Selecting 'Live TV' for currently recording event takes user to
beginning of event
4. Multiple Home Media fixes -
- Home Media Popup when not connected -³Home Media Requires Hopper
Internet Connector or direct internet connection²
- Home Media is only working with Hopper Internet Connector
(MoCA adaptor)
- Home Media not detecting all supported devices on the network

5.fixed - Joey showing not connected even when it is connected through the
Hopper
6. Fixed External Hard Drive issue that was preventing some playbacks

Do you know what the release notes for the Joey s259 are? My Joey has none of what you mentioned fixed. Still showing no broadband connection even thought it's connected through the Hopper and apps still do not work correctly on the Joey.

#4 confuses me. So Home Media needs a HIC to work or not?

if you're trying to do the preferred hardwired internet connection, then you'll need to connect an ethernet cable at every Hopper/Joey location where you want to use home media. (Ondemand requires just the hopper(s) to be connected)

Since most people don't have ethernet access at every location, then just about everyone should go with a HIC during the install (and leave wifi as a last resort). The HIC connects all Hopper/Joey locations at just one client line location, so it's pretty much the safest thing to do at this point.

I see. Thanks,

I have a 1 Hopper 1 Joey setup. Hopper direct connect to ethernet. Home Media NEVER worked for me until today (after S207).

With S207:
Hopper does find all my Home Media Sources.
Joey does display message: "Home Media Requires Hopper Internet Connector or direct internet connection", however, while connecting Joey to ethernet (and resetting network) bypasses the message, the Joey cant find anything. Perhaps "- Home Media is only working with Hopper Internet Connector (MoCA adaptor)" only applies to Joey?
