I have noticed audio popping noise while change from SD to HD channels (at least with HDMI connected unit, will check others later). Also, the audio level in general seems reduced since L612.

Definitely having bugs here on my 622 with L612. When tuning to OTA locals, I'm getting black screen and meter shows 0 signal strength (although signal is really at 95%), and I dont get the yellow error message, and swapping (PIP) to the other tuner does not swap.

If I then go to a sat channel from an OTA channel it doesnt always tune to the channel I type.

Also when I go to play A DVR'd event, it does not always play, and I have at least five times been able to duplicate a situation where attempting to play a DVR'd event by selecting the Play button (on screen) results in my 622 tuning to a channel, rather than playing the DVR event.

The screen is also flashing to black for one second when I push Cancel.

Just realized that PIP Swap (in single mode) isnt working at all. I'm tuned to HBO now, and correct movie is on. I swap, and picture is blank, but HBO audio is still playing. I hit cancel or info and HBO movie appears, and banner says History channel/program, not HBO. So, I'm unable to successfully Swap tuners... Turning receiver 'off' seems to make issue go away until the next time it starts happening...

None of the above happens 100% of the time, and apparently is exacerbated by moving between different activities (going from sat channels to OTA channels to DVR'd events, back to Sat or OTA channels).

I have unplugged/rebooted/checked switch/downloaded guide/run System Info LNBF check.

I'm not having any of these problems on my 622 that is still on L512.

My 622 under L612 seems very flaky compared to how relatively rock solid my 622 has always been.

i would be happy to just have the damn software update already!

I thought I was going nuts - glad I'm not the only one.

The audio level on my SD channels has dropped significantly (if I had to guess, I'd say 25%) - HD still sounds fine, which makes for a shocker when changing channels.

I hope they haven't compressed it worse than it already is. I watched "Primeval" on BBC America last Saturday night and the ProLogic II decoder in my receiver was hardly pulling out any surround sound at all. In fact it was hardly even sending any sound to the front channels, just the center. The commercials seemed OK though, go figure. I haven't had time to watch any other SD programs yet to check if it was just the one show that was weird.

Same here. The screen goes blank when when swapping but sound continues. It doesn't do it every time. Have to do a reboot to get picture back.

612L on my 622. Small picture in upper left corner on tv1 since update. I have to reboot to fix. This is beginning to be a tiresome routine!!!

This should hit a lot of folks with a dose of reality. I can only imagine how much more common this will get as AI progresses.

I read several stories on this and most are clear as mud. They say a lot of the stolen bitcoin has been "locked out" and that everyone will be made financially whole. I guess time will tell if either of these statements are actually true.

Sometimes a thread gets so many posts in it that is can cause issues for the server so that why today we introduce The Song Name Game Part 3!

So let the game continue!

The last song was added by Bobby who posted...

One Meat Ball - Andrews Sisters

CONTINUE ON AND HAVE FUN! WELCOME HOME TO SATELLITEGUYS.US!

Here are the original rules for the game as posted by WebbyDude back in 2006. http://www.satelliteguys.us/threads/68645-Song-Name-Game

Just name a song title and the band who performed it. The next person does the same thing, but needs to list a song title or band name which includes a word from the previous entry. Pick songs from any genre.

Example:

Long Live Rock and Roll -- Rainbow

Rainbow in the Dark -- Dio

Another example:

Ride the Lightning -- Metallica

Lightning Strikes -- Ozzy Osbourne


Get it?


An additional note: we all know that song titles, sometimes, use profane words. Because this is a family friendly website it is advised that you clean up that title up a bit. This is accomplished by using something like sh!t instead of the real word. Thanks....

Finished season 3 last night. Still one of my favorite shows.

Anyone else wonder if there might be something else going on with Callum? Seems to me he has too much access to Russian intelligence.

Great ending, but it ran in circles most of the season.

Over the past few weeks, I have had problems connecting to streaming services (Netflix, HBO et al). When I go to the TV's native Channels, I have no problem. The Dish internet troubleshooter shows I have a good internet connection. I'm wondering whether it's an issue with my internet provider or a problem with the Dish software on the Hopper Plus. Anyone else seeing this?

I have a DISH Hopper 3 (Software H713) with Hopper Plus (Software P15403). I have not tried streaming services but I primarily watch TVB Jadeworld international package which is only available by streaming and when I have an issue, I usually have to go to a non-streaming satellite channel first before the streaming channels will work again. What software versions do you have and what is the error message if any are showing on your screen? or is that Dish downloading logo just stuck and never finishes?

I'm on H713 on the Hopper and P15403 on the Hopper Plus. It shows internet connection issues and doesn't finish loading the various services. I see the "loading circle going around. Sometimes I get a message saying that the service is having trouble loading my content and to check the internet connection.

Did it ever work correctly before? Hard to say what the problem is. Usually for streaming, it will show the Dish logo with lines sweeping down to show downloading, never seen the circle issue. Did you try a manual reboot, red button reset, power cord unplug/replug to see if it makes a difference.

Might be worth just to ditch the hopper plus. No issues here on h713

Buy a roku and dump the hopper plus you'll be better off. If you have a smart tv you don't need either one. No hopper plus here and no issues!!!
