Just downloaded the U728 update for my HWS. Hopefully it fixes all ( or some ) of the problems we have been having. Fingers crossed.

</blockquote>Thanks for the help/advice, but I am reasonably familiar with how to manually check for an update with the HWS recievers. With that said however, I have never had a receiver go through all the different screens and reboots, and afterwards still have the same software update as before. If there was no update I would simply get the I have the most recent update notice.</div>

</blockquote>That happens to me quite often. Not sure if Dish still rolls out updates in stages (so that if a problem is found it doesn't impact everyone). Usually, if I just wait a day or 2 the update downloads OK.</div>

</blockquote>Usually someone on here tells what the fixes are so I just keep watching for the thread. I let nature take it's course and let Dish download the update. Some people just can't wait, it's like I've got to have the newest gadget first.</div>

They haven't posted change logs on recent updates unless there are feature updates, like upping the EHD sizes</div>
<div class="bbWrapper">I just tried to upgrade using Dish's Diagnostic 'Tools'. After a while (and 3 or 4 reboots later) I got an onscreen message that said I already had the latest software for my receiver, and it listed the version that I had, U727 - 03-11-20, as the latest version for the HWS. I think I'll just wait for Dish to do it automatically.</div>
