Hopper with Sling Upgraded to S512

[MikeD-C05]

I hope next update they fix the OTA start early/end late settings.

Would love it, but I don't expect it anytime soon. DISH took from May when they broke the ota sub channel name based recording feature ,till November to fix it. So 7 months to rectify their mistake. They are still more obsessed with adding and fixing those worthless applications, that most don't use or care about.

In this S512 software version I have noticed something new (unless I haven't noticed it before) in the Common Counters list HDD temp readings (Yellow - Blue - 3 - View Counters - page down approximately 13 times). In between the degree reading and F, there is a square box with FF & FD in the box. Does anyone know what the FF & FD mean?

I looked on the Joey, still running the previous version, and didn't see that. If I remember, I'll check on the Hopper this evening.

I just checked my regular Joey S382 and it has the square box with FF FD. No telling what it means. Thanks for checking.

Sounds like it's definitely be new then

He even wants a new app that will request new channels from Dish every day. (;-)

 

[bluegras]

real funny you guys

Was watching some programs semi-live yesterday and noticed a pop-up for a few seconds on the bottom right stating, paraphrased 'If you want to watch this from the beginning press select and choose another airing'. Don't remember seeing that before S512.

You could always press search and it would provide the same info and ability to schedule an advanced recording.

New feature for 512 and 446.

Why does everyone pick on Bluegrass. He just says what we are ALL thinking. "When is Dish going to add more HD channels." Disney doesn't count. Since Dish deleted them before readding them.

 

[ChadT41]

Lol. I will take bluegrass HD request and feature request anyday compared to some of the ridiculous requests of some others. I just hope to never hear about the EPL ever again. I know it's popular, but not having that is like when AMC went down. Except it's never been offered on Dish from NBC, so I don't get the complaint.

 

[bluegras]

i know everyone would like too see new hd channels you know what i say if a channel on dish has a hd feed it should be added sorry i keep asking for more hd channels maybe one day every channel will be in hd on dish and i will stop asking for more i know some of you folks would like to see new apps also added the only one i am interested in right now is tunein radio it would be nice to listen to satelliteguys or any other radio station that streams on the internet.let me know what you guys think of tunein radio to come to dish hopper.sorry about me ranting i love being on satguys where at least you can express your opinion on different topics in the dish industry or whatever comes to your mind

thanks guys

Which app do you want? I'm happy with game finder, fantasy, and the one getting me through college Pandora

 

[bluegras]

tunein radio it has over 100000 radio stations that stream on the internet lets say your local radio station stream on the internet and they are listedn on tunein radio you can actually go to tunein radio website search in the searchbox and type in the local radio station in your town and you can actually listen to you station on tunein whats neat with me i can listen to my radio station with tunein radio via bluetooth using a usb bluetooth adapter in my laptop i have a phillips micro music system and you can listen to tunein radio through your stereo 128k or higher sounds great on this thing.
here is tunein radio website be sure to stop by and check it out

i rather get back to the topic at hand i am done ranting for a while

 

[ChadT41]

Ohh. We do IHeartRadio(I have never heard it, but heard they just recently changed names) here. I wouldn't mind that app, but that one would be thrown in the category with Netflix, since Pandora already exists.

 

[SQUEEZON]

Kinda odd, people complain about too many channels, and they want more added? If anything I would think DISH is tightening up with all the deals going on, and the FCC reviews etc

 

[navychop]

If I want radio stations, I'll use my Roku.

Frankly, I'm already recording more than I can watch. Yet I STILL want the military history channel.

 

[Templeton0543]

Yet I STILL want the military history channel.

Never heard of it, looked it up. Isn't it basically the same as American Heroes on 195?

 

[KAB]

There are already more apps than I care about. Hopper is an advanced DVR, not an iPhone.

 

[ChadT41]

The way I seebit, if they add them, cool, if they don't, cool. As you said, there is enough for TV Viewing already. It's always nice when we get more, but I am content where I am now. Especially with this latest software version, I am 100% happy with my tv needs.
