It should be now spooling to some:

IRD Model: ViP622
List of Serial Numbers:
[2] 73174765-78566181

Just another small block... nowhere near us 8000 series boxes.

Does anyone know if the Homezone ViP622HZ will incorporate the external storage feature, or calling home over ethernet? (especially since it is already hooked to the internet via 2Wire gateway.)

We have dedicated to 622HZ thread - join us there.

Actually you did little misquoting, it should be:

'1[3-8]1[AB0-6]' 'RB[BDEGHKL][A-DJ]'
IRD Model: ViP622
List of Serial Numbers:
[2] 73174765-78566181

First line is important part of selection - each person who ask 'why his receiver running old SW' should check his System Info for Bootstrap/BuildConfig IDs also.

I just got it.

Ok, I edited out the last line...

wow, my serial is over the 83XX so I should get the update in a month by now, hahaha

My 622 was replaced like 2 months ago, and I received a factory one with SW L0.61 installed. Even the remote work at that time. haha

Ok, this comment may not be allowed, but, if the 622 and 722 are using the exact same firmware, could it be possible to drop a 500GB drive into a 622 and it then thinks its a 722? I know there are other settings flags, boot code, etc. that determine model and behavior besides just the firmware, but perhaps this time around it just checks the drive size and decides which of the two models it is. Any mods can pull this post if that is something that should not be discussed here, or someone let me know and I'll pull it out.

please try it and let us know if it works..

Given that plenty of people own their 622s, they're certainly free to try what you asked. No issue with questions like that not being allowed.

 

[Scott Greczkowski]

I think we have all been wondering the same thing.

 

[jerryez]

I know TiVo hard drives have factory setup programming on them. I would think that the drive is at least partitioned on the 622.

 

[qwert1515]

You will have to JTAG your receiver (so that you will receive a firmware update and you need some information from there) and copy certain sectors from the current drive to the new drive, then it might work.

I seem to recall that this in fact did work with 522s. If you put the larger hard drive in it (that was compatible to 625s), it would "turn into" a 625.

Isn't that pointless starting tomorrow ?

Why not just put that 500gb drive into a USB enclosure?

Is this the software upgrade thats needed for the new HD channels?

Upgrade is not need for the new channels.

 

[LER]

Nope, just for the external storage and Ethernet. The receiver should decode the Mpeg4 HD stuff just fine.

NO HACK TALK!

Whats Hack Talk? Sounds scary!
