Yes indeed, I got S118 some time today too, and Home Media works as well as it did before S117 broke it I guess... At least they fixed that glitch quickly, so someone at Dish is obviously looking after us.

I check my receiver and I had the software version S116 XAJD. How do I get the new version??
Well S118 is proving to be buggy. Today I cannot change channels by punching in the channel number on the remote (up down still works). Also going into the DVR menu now make the picture tiny (like PiP) after leaving the dvr list. I would have to say not ready for prime time again.
Can the DIRT team push out the new software update?

I can confirm there is no way to push/pull the update, it is released in waives, for example, receivers with receiver number r019****** - r024****** will get the update. and if you are r018 or lower, or r025 or higher, there is no way to get it. this is one EXAMPLE, there are other ways they can do it as well, geographically, and other ways.
there is NO WAY to force the update. just have to wait.
keep in mind, it is done that way to help squash any software bugs there might be, yes, you don't have the update (nor do I) but when we get it, it should be (basically) bug free, thanks to the people that have the update now.
Looks like by the reports over at the "other place" the Eastern Arc" is getting this update 1st?,don't know for sure we will have to wait and see.![]()

i received S118 this morning too, i will play with the new features and will keep inform if anything is buggy
as of early this morning, update is being pushed to ALL 922's. found out earlier yesterday, would have spilled the beans, but was not sure if I was allowed to.
So I got the S118 and I subscribed to BB@home. the quality is questionable. The HD's are about at best 720's or even lower in my opinion. I'm not impressed when compared to Vudu on the boxee. Vudu on the boxee is excellent quality.
Also what are the 10 Blockbuster channels everyone is talking about?
