S 238?

[Bobby]

Can you manualy add an OTA channel on S 238 or does it still tell you that this feature is coming in a future update?

It's not there yet...

My replacement hopper dl 238, I was glad to see.Joey's got on once Dish Techs gave up (I went to Whole Home on the Joeys' and told them to link to the hopper).

All is working now?

Are you guys Dish employees, contractors, or retailers, by any chance? I don't think that rev is in general release yet.

None of the above, my one hopper seems to get all the latest releases, my other on is still on 234.

I think they were curious since there was no talk of it releasing to the public yet. I can also confirm it spooled to group of hoppers last night.

Update couldn't get here any sooner! Just hope it addresses the speed issues with the Hopper 1.0.

I just had my hopper switched out on the 19th due to an audio sync problem with the lower channels. Its running version s283. After the tech left I noticed the joey was at version s282. I unplugged the joey for a minute and plugged it back in. I took a few minutes but updated itself to s285.

GREAT NEWS FOR US SUBS WITH HEARING PROBLEMS. S238 FIXED THE CLOSED CAPTIONING PROBLEM AND IT NOW WORKS WITH BOTH ACTIVE TUNERS.

One other thing I see in S238 is that, when the red button is used, the secondary channel shows as "Watching PIP" if the swap button was used in the channel selection.

It shows as Watching PiP regardless of if the swap button was used.

On another note, S238 seems to have fixed the S234 speed issues, which is the biggest reason I was anxiously awaiting an update. However compared to Hopper w/Sling, Hopper is still not as fast. It's a noticeable difference. Hopper is still fast, it's just that Hopper w/Sling is faster. Hopper is now faster than Joey which is what I would expect. Hopper felt just as slow as Joey on S234. It makes the most sense that Hopper w/Sling, with it's 1.3GHz processor and 2GB of RAM, would be fastest, Hopper is slower with it's 750MHz processor and 768MB RAM, and Joey is slowest with it's 405MHz processor and 512MB RAM. S234 made things painfully slow though. S238 seems to have resolved that issue.

It is also less steps to turn closed captioning on or off.

 

[Barry Erick]

Yep, except the phone interface which is my problem. Phone hits the phone block, does not come out. Connectection inside are good. It is between the wires and modular connector.

That's good news for sure! Hopefully mine will get S238 soon.

Got S238 on my Hopper today. I'm usually one of the last to get updates, unless this was a wide release....

It's not full released yet, still rolling out

 

[Skytrooper]

Got S238 this mourning. It seems to of fixed my skip forward and skip backward problem. It used to jump all over the place.

 

[Arcade]

Checked this morning before work.
Still on S234

 

[steff3]

Still 234 on my original Hopper. Noticed on 234, the custom list has been holding in the guide however on my Hopper with 238, it reverts back to my channels every morning as it used to.
