Well the bad news... couldn't find an update.
The good news, of sorts, is that there's two ways around this ... 1 is to re-enable the ability to run any and all insecure / outdated, plugins, thus having to manually disable those that are really incompatible.
Mozilla Firefox: How To Disable Add on Compatibility Checking « Life in a Nutshell
which does work, but again it enables all plugins that may or may not be compatible (they were disabled by firefox for cause ... right?
)The other way ... Edit the XPI file to remove the signatures, edit the max version and install the modified XPI.
Step by step...
- go back to dishonline ..
- go to protected content ...
- when the install plugin screen comes up ... select the option to manually install .. it will give you links (right click FF, save link as)
- rename the file to add .zip as the extension
- open the file, delete the META-INF folder (and all files in that folder)
- extract install.rdf
- edit this file with a text editor
- change "maxVersion" from 4.* to 5.*
- save the file, put it back into the zip
- close the zip file
- rename it back (take the .zip off the end)
- open the firefox add-on's page
- click the configure cog,
- Select "Install add-on from file"
- select your modified XPI .. and install like normal
Not a great solution.. but it works.. Also can't say for sure that it will upgrade that way either.
keep in mind.. it took them 2 months after FF4 came out for them to have the plugin to support FF4. It was 2 weeks later that FF5 came out, and Mozilla has moved in to a "Rapid Release" cycle.

The user community is harmed by some of this, in that things like Widevine to Dish to User is already at a snails pace ... and if the real issue isn't a compatibility one, but like in the case of the one file inside the archive, that seems to have a problem, being only the installer file, with a "max version" string causing the issue .. then we've a long wait for them to fix it.
When a new and real update becomes available, it would be interesting to know if the plugin actually has a version change for the Widevine DLL (4.5.0.3485) or was it just them changing the max version string (or removing it) and then re-certifying the files (hashes, and digital signature which are removed by taking away the META-INF folder and its files).
Lets see which happens and how soon

HERE TO HELP YOU!
Cutting Edge
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....

Hello folks, well my luck ran out last week with a nasty thunderstorm and after 39 years here, finally took a hit. Now, the FTA receivers I had for some years worked great until now. Recently picked up a fairly cheap receiver, online, KOQIT and seems to be good, but for the life of me, I cannot get the HDMI output to work with 3 of my Samsung monitors. I can hook it up to my Samsung TV and its HDMI input and it works fine. The 2 receivers I lost also worked fine with them, so am I going crazy? anyone have come across this or have any suggestions? And, since this is a somewhat cheap unit but works, what is everyone out there using for receivers these days? without breaking the bank? I enjoy watching FTA TV, so I will invest more if needed, what is a really good, detailed unit these days. I'm so use to watching a few of them HD channels. Right now I'm down to composite hookups, yuck! Any help or info would be greatly appreciated. Thanks Frank

Take the cover off, show me pics of the board of the bad one and also the bottom of the board. I'm an old hardware electronics tech plus a satellite dealer; I fixed a lot of FTA and regular receivers. I may be able to fix it for you. And yes, they got hit by lightning; it's best to email me the pics at diamondsatellite@snet.net or call me at 203-232-8888. I give you a 50-50 chance of fixing it; I do have spare parts. my phone is a fliptop phoneHello folks, well my luck ran out last week with a nasty thunderstorm and after 39 years here, finally took a hit.

Seems like I remember that now, with my V9 I manually entered anyway on 105, easier for me to pick the channel later
IS Amiko MIRA 3 any good ???
Can you recommend the best to cover all bases. NO BEEPS on certain channels 101w (NEWSMAX ,NEWS NATION), a clock that keeps working STEADY for timed recording ,solid unit with good lifespan. My Amiko died AND my Linkbox has NO Favorites Button and BEEPS on many channels. Picking up 105 west with a NEW SHED IN THE Way with 6 foot Cband ..95 percent quality ...unbelievable.
