ViP622 L4.01 Update-Confirmation

We'll just have to wait for Mr. Smith to confirm it.

I can definitely confirm that this accurate information from DISH. Whether or not they go thru with it is another story.

 

[RandallA]

Not really questioning you. It's just that after what's happened in the past, we'll believe it when it's up there in the satellites and actually spooling. Mr. Smith can detect when the software is actually up there in the satellites and spooling.

 

[Hall]

I'll believe it when I see it (on my own receiver). I question anything related to "reliable sources" from Dish anymore.... Sorry....

 

[Scott Greczkowski]

Well I just got the same Tech Update that Tech Trainer did.

(Its a weekly DNS email sent out) and yes once again it IS scheduled.

If it makes it or not is anyone guess.

I have a feeling that I'm going to feel about ViP622 4.01 the say way I felt about Star Wars Ep. 1 after it was released. Huge hype followed by disappointment.

Thanks Scott. From an installation point of view, I hope the DISHComm update is included, and works. Great time saver for techs. Good for DISH too, since all receivers with the software will be recognized as "on a phone line".
Since I work for an RSP, the info I receive is "reliable", it's just whether DISH makes good on it. I was disappointed last week also. I usually receive things very early from DISH. I will try to let everyone know ahead of time.

 

[Smith P.]

I cant promise my report will be posted same minute when the version begin spooling, but I can guarantee accurate time of appearance of it (+/- 5 min ) and
which receivers will be selected.

 

[jmel]

so what is dishcomm again? does this have to do with enabling the ethernet port?

 

[TechTrainer]

DishComm is like having a wireless phone jack built-in to the receiver. You need only hook up one phone line in the house to any receiver and all receivers will have dial tone through the AC lines.

is it any receiver or just the VIP receivers?

 

[jmel]

I am curious, will that mean the Caller ID will still work on all receivers when using Dish Comm?

 

[Scott Greczkowski]

From the Demo I saw the caller ID would work on all receivers over DishComm.

Will this update address the 5.1 over HDMI issue? I don't see it in the posts (though I don't really know what I'm looking at!)

 

[Cornstalkk]

What abut 5.1 over the HDMI?? I thought that was going to be part of the software update? I hope so. It is really kinda odd to have to use the HDMI cable and the Optical cable.

-edit-. ctjr post was not there 2 seconds ago

 

[KwestJones]

So did the DP311 update as scheduled? That could be a hint about the other updates right?

 

[TechTrainer]

It is my understanding that the 5.1 update is included in L4.01. Also ,there are other receivers (not ViP) that will eventually get the DishComm update.
