Every time they upgrade my 501 it locks up and I have to reboot it doing the Hodl down the power buttong trick or pulling the smart card.

I then loose what I was recording at the time.

I have lost many.

What out for updates.

I got P220 on one of my 501's. Nothing stands out as "different". I've asked a contact at E* what changed.

Now downloading...

A couple of screens appeared..
One telling me that software was being downloaded and the other saying to not touch the reciever because the memory was being programmed. This is the first time I've seen such screens, the other times where a software update ocurred those screens never appeared just a black screen.

Anyone have it and can post any new features? Skip once conflict? Record from buffer?

How can you tell what ver software is on my 508

 

[James Long]

Press SYS INFO on your remote. The software version is one of the data points shown.

Menu, system, installation, system info. Look for P199 or P220 in one of the lines.

I got a summary from a E* contact, and it's mostly maintenance, but the following bug is fixed:
When customer goes to view, and receiver is
in inactivity standby mode, the customer may see snow on TV screen vs. the screen saver. If this is the case, the timers will not fire.

So, nothing really major.
