U224 is now out on HWS

[Joe891]

Interesting, Now maybe I'll try to update, Because its available under tools.

When I did it, it rebooted and went to the standby screen, after about 2 minutes it rebooted again and went to the downloading software screen. I guess once new versions are available we will be able to install before it is pushed now

before it is pushed now

Possibly so. The latest will get pushed after some period of time, as you suggest. Or, if Dish doesn't force it, but you call in about a problem, they'll see you're on an older version and it may be, "update the software, see if it's still happening, and if so, call back".

That'd be my guess as well

Or maybe the Accessibility is of no interest to you so you leave it at U334....

I got u224 overnight and now I have missing timers again. I don't know why to fix one thing they have to break another.

Could just update to U226. My timers are fine

I went into the settings and selected the "update to latest version" . It went thru all of the motions for about 20 minutes restarting and everything and then it still was on u224 .

At least you triggered it by doing that. If it's like other Dish software updates, it will probably update itself overnight. Otherwise, you can make sure your Joeys are powered down, make sure nothing it set to record for a little while, and then put the Hopper in standby. That may trigger it as long as everything is in standby and nothing is recording or set to start recording for a little while.

It must have as I now have u226 this morning. I will go through my timers later and see if any are missing.

My HWS seems to have tried to upgrade to U226 from U 224 but not successfully. Now the Hopper sees the Joeys but the Joeys cannot see the Hopper. Tech support was stymied. I am trying a manual upgrade.

 

[Peter Parker]

The manual upgrade solved the problem. Something must have gone wrong with the first download/install.

My timer are gone too. Other than kids shows, not a big deal at the moment. At least until the wife notices.

Purchased HWS auto installed U224. These hoppers are nice coming from DTV HR24's and vip211K

Is guide hanging a known issue with HWS and U224? Made a favorites list and already its locked 3-4 times on same page until I change to default guide. Doesn't do it all the time.

My Hopper with sling downloaded a software U 226 and now it will not work at all

From your last couple posts, is this a newly installed Hopper? If so, it usually takes them a couple days to settle it after installed, and they can do some odd things like that those first couple days.

YES, Its a known issue.

Okay thanks, so let it settle in or force the U226? If its not better no reason for sure.
