S211 and Hoppers

[John Kotches]

For the first time in a while, I've noticed that the top and bottom of the hour pause on the hopper/joeys seems to have stopped.

I've had the TV on in the living room while I work from home and noticed "not noticing" the brief pauses/breakups on the hopper and joeys.

What about others on S211?

Didn't know I had it untill I was at work. Will report if I see anything new/improved.

I hope this is true - the pauses are the one thing I that I do not like about the Hopper/Joey system.

I got S211 on both hoppers. I'll check for the picture freeze/audio drop tonight. I did notice All 4 of the PTAT channels were showing from the red button page tonight. I have had 3 channels one night, then all 4, then back to 3. This was on S209 so maybe this has been fixed.

My Hopper on 211 is very very sluggish. This includes EPG, apps (Pandora), and playing Media.

Just got 211 on both Hoppers here. Joeys are still on 261. I'll try and remember to look for top/bottom hour glitching. That's one of the first things I noticed with the Hoppers on 207 and 209.

Received 211 on hopper and 263 on 3 joey's this morning. Everything seems to be working fine.

 

[Thankful]

Same here 211 and 263 installed last night.

I have 211 on the Hoppers and 262 on the Joeys. I have noticed a slight glitching out occur at the top of the hour. Not as bad as on the previous software but it's still there.

I noticed a big change today with 211. I went to watch a PTAT program today recorded last night (Hopper was already updated to 211). As soon as I clicked "Start over" a big red Kangaroo popped up and announced that I could skip (it actually said hop ahead) commercials. This is big for me, I hate commercials. So I watched last nights CSI that way and it worked really good. I did not notice this option before.

That's because it is brand new....

211 installed last night...skipped from 209 to 211.... Everything is great, glad to be dome with 209!!!

 

[dolfantiger]

Same here. Audio drop/picture freeze. I was watching TBS last night.

I'm curious to see if it's defaulted to "My Channels" again, when I get home. I HATE THAT.
