H301 downloaded this morning at 2:06 AM without me doing anything. Now my DVR icon is missing from the Main Menu again! My model still says "Hopper 3D" and I still do not have any DVR functionality!
Maybe HipKat or Scott Greczkowski might hear something on why Hopper 3 H305 went back to H301.
I think this is the first time I have seen a software update rolled back.Members here have reported issues.

Same; I thought it was supposed to be impossible.I think this is the first time I have seen a software update rolled back.

It has been a long time. Before the CUI was ever supposed to go out to the public, many members here reported performing a secret sequence to force their receivers to switch to the CUI. (This was back when the interface was truly "carbon" black, rather than the gray tone they eventually settled on.) Next update, Dish forced their receivers back to the old software and interface. That was a case where the update was going out to people who were not supposed to be receiving it. I think a similar situation applies here. The only difference is that Dish's authorization system apparently automatically sent out the update to some members here without them needing to do anything to force it. Most of the members who reported receiving the update actually did force it, though.I think this is the first time I have seen a software update rolled back.
Well this is just an FYI: The Rovi corporate name does not exist anymore and hasn't for some time. Rovi split itself into a intellectual property company (I forget the goofy name) and a products/service/media company that is TiVo. However, not too long after Rovi purchased TiVo, Rovi dropped the "Rovi" brand and adopted TiVo brand as it new corporate name. So, officially, TiVo has been the provider of EPG data for years. So, for accuracy, it is "Now, if TiVo could only get their act together . . ."Now if only Rovi could get their act together with their guide info. My PTAT isn't working again because practically every program beyond the next 2-3 hours says "No description available for this event." Program titles seem correct, but the actual description info is wrong. And yes, I did try manually updating the guide software. No effect.
Edit:
That's odd. Just before I did the manual guide update at about 6 pm earlier this evening, I also manually clicked update software and it told me I had the latest version (H305). A few minutes ago, I clicked update software again, and it actually started downloading an update. When it was done, I was back on the older H301 again.
So I clicked update software for the third time after being sent back to H301, and it started downloading again... and now that it's finished and it's rebooted... I'm still on the older H301...
But my PTAT is working again and the guide info is all correct again.

Nah, I actually praise Dish occasionally, when they actually get something right.Starting to wonder if you are related to Claude. Lol.
Yes, that is the "01" release from March. This issue with the "05" release being aborted apparently caused all receivers to think that the "01" version is a new release and re-download it, even if they never had the "05" version.My hopper duo shows a H401, so is that an old version? States it loaded 5/16/21 @ 9:18 am.
Did you kick Claude off the forum?Starting to wonder if you are related to Claude. Lol.
A long time ago.Did you kick Claude off the forum?
Long overdue, no matter how long ago it was.A long time ago.
