"Effective Wednesday, June 29th, Engineering will begin to spool the FIRST PHASE of software version L2.50 for the DP522 receiver."

"Effective Wednesday, June 29th, Engineering will begin to spool the FULL PHASE of software version L2.50 for the DP625 receiver."

The released date is, of course, subject to change.

I got the update to L250 but the only thing that i have noticed that is different is that the dish logo has color now. is there anything else i should be looking for?

It does?!?!?! Hot damn! Finally my dreams have come true.

Do you still have to press the remote buttion twice to get the box to turn on? I sure hope so, now that we have a color logo.

Wait, I thought the logo was alreay in color. What I really want is the end of the audio drops.

As far as I know, it is only suppoesed to change a few items which are changes to the Dish Data stream.

After turning on my 522 a few times, it seems they fixed the double button pushing problem. Though I am not all that great at counting to one.

New Features...

This week, I've noticed a few changes on my 522.

You can now delete individual entries from the Caller-ID list.

Pushing the "Dish" button by mistake no longer yanks you away from what you're watching to load Dish Home, now it asks in a pop-up dialog box if you WANT to go to Dish Home. :clap

The DVR now crashes and goes into Hard Drive Diagnostics if you push "Done" from the Daily Schedule screen... or at least MINE does. Happened maybe ten times before I could remember to stop doing it. Just hit "Exit", no crash and reboot. :!:

EDIT: I forgot, there's also a "Delete" button in the dialog box that allows skipping and restoring, handy for shows you no longer want to catch. Easier than exiting and going into timer menu.

Ver 2.50 allows me to edit my timers.
It also allows me to change the default for the start and end times of recordings. No longer stuck with default of starting one minute early and going 3 minutes late.

I've only watched a little, but audio dropouts on playback seem much less than before. It will take some time to see if that is a reality

 

[ctcohen04]

I should have said the noted improvements are on a 522

Ver 2.50 allows me to edit my timers.

Huh? You've always been able to edit your timers.

 

[ctcohen04]

Actually, no, on my 522 the edit function was always "unavailable" or greyed out (after NBR) until 2.50. The only way I could change a timer was to delete it and start over.

There is now a "TV Guide" logo on the guide display. I can die a happy man, now my life is complete.

 

[JGrant]

I'm a new poster but I have been reading the boards here for a while now. I have a 522 and the only thing new that I have seen, is when I sort the list of recordings it stays sorted.

Me too!

Actually that was what made me look to see if there had been an upgrade.

 

[typerk]

Being able to edit timers without deleting them and starting over and no more of the 1 and 3 minute padding sounds good to me. Double the audio drops you know will accompany this doesn't.

That is how I realized that I got the new update.

They should do this on all receivers. Dish Home is annoying

This feature has been around for a few versions now. It is NOT new to L2.50.

 

[RandallA]

What I meant was to all different models, (301, 311, 501, 510, etc) not just the 522's and 625's.

 

[Ned Dorsey]

There calling it 2.51 now http://www.dishnetwork.com/content/customerCare/technical/software_versions/index.asp with no mention of 2.50.

I'm still waiting - I want the new features.
