New Software Updates Discussion Thread

[RandallA]

I created a new thread just for discussions. This one doesn't need to be a stikcy.

Lakebum431,

Yes we noticed the different naming convention for the 722s. I can't find the thread right now but I asked Smith about it.

 

[lakebum431]

Very interesting. I think we've always seen them use letter, letter, letter, number for beta and LX.XX for production. I wonder why they changed.

 

[ralfyguy]

Well seems that new FW for 722 was a full spool, but I didn't receive it. This is weird.

 

[RandallA]

ralfy,

If you don't have it then it must be for the GAMMA group but the serial # range is for all. I will remove it if that's the case but I'll wait for Smith to chime in.

 

[RandallA]

There hasn't been any activity lately except for some beta software testing for the 211, 622 and 501 receivers.

 

[Scott Greczkowski]

The beta software has DishONLINE in it.

I hear its working well. Can't wait to get it.

 

[RandallA]

The problem that I see is that they don't have too many beta testers. I hope they get it right for the benefit of all subscribers.

 

[Scott Greczkowski]

What the number of receivers the 622 beta went out to? I am guessing under 250.

 

[RandallA]

223 for the 622s
83 for the 722s
168 for the 211s

 

[RandallA]

Looks like the only activity we might see tonight is for the 311 receivers:

8/28/2007: 1000 Software Version P4.17 for DP311

Effective Tuesday, August 28th, Engineering plans to spool a PARTIAL PHASE of software version P4.17 for the DP311 receiver. This is primarily a non-forced maintenance release available at ALL satellite locations.
At this time P4.15 and P4.17 will be the valid software versions for the DP311.

The problem that I see is that they don't have too many beta testers.

Yeap, nowhere near enough. The L4.01 - L4.05 fiasco and then L4.06 to L4.09 then back to L4.05 proves that....

L4.43 for 622 and 722

Anyone have info about the new SW?

I got it this morning. Can't see much difference, other than more lines in the counters screen.

8/29/2007: 1532 Software Version L4.43 for ViP 622 DVR

[RandallA]

It's going to all except to the receivers with L4.41. I thought Scott said they were testing Dishonline already.

 

[LER]

Weird on the 441's not getting it. I'll have to check my upstairs 622 tonight (It had 442 on it yesterday).

This is weird, I just went to Diagnosis counters and I can't make the left arrow work so that I can scroll down. Left works fine in the guide.

You can discuss the software updates on this thread:

Oops! My bad

 

[Scott Greczkowski]

They are testing DishONLINE, but that software has not been released to the public yet.

BTW L443 release notes have been posted.

I think you can use the page up/down keys. You just cannot select the text box by left arrow or anything. Were you able to, you could then use the up/down single line scroll. This was true also before 4.43.
