I agree with you. I sure don't want to deal with TV issues with company coming to town to stay with us.
According to the link in the email it says that you can revert to "classic" interface.. No idea what that means but that's what it says..
Gerry
As I mentioned above and Scott reiterated, it's color only. The link says
"choose from either a Modern or Classic color theme"
and
"The Classic theme looks similar to the old Hopper user interface"
That 2nd statement by Dish is probably in error. They forgot the word "color" in between Classic and theme.
I'll turn on the Classic theme when I'm home to confirm, but as I recall, that color scheme is only applied in some places (obviously the guide and probably the DVR menu). If you look at all of the images shown at that Dish page, the layout, pop-ups, overlays, etc, etc are all different than what you see today and there is no going back nor a button to switch to that "interface".
Plus, don't worry - as far as using menus, the guide, and so on, there will be no hiccups for people. Between my wife and (3) kids, when I updated ours to the new interface, no one said a word about it. No one has been lost or confused on how to use it, had to ask how to do something, etc.
Define "everyone."
You should know by now that Dish always knows whats best for all of us!
If/when there really is a method to allow you to download it ahead of time, maybe you ought to but the bullet ahead of the deadline just so you know what you're dealing with before the company hits town.
Once Dish had the new CUI working on the old Hopper 1, it was inevitable that it would be forced to everyone. Only one software base to maintain makes a lot of sense. Hopefully, the new CUI does not have too many issues.
Really not necessary. People turn on the TV, pick a channel, and watch TV. That works just fine.
You can download it today if one wanted, it's just that the key-sequence is what would otherwise be random (not something one would accidentally start). Charles knows the steps too.
Charles has been resisting and we all know resistance is futile, he too will be assimilated.

Ehh...this is Dish...they'll brick those old things sooner or later!

722? Isn't that like Windows XP?

But now old and no longer updated or supported. A fate soon to be shared by the 722?

Yeap, that's the 'installer' steps that were given out 11 months ago. I'm surprised they didn't make it simpler at this point. Also, when they say put the Joey(s) in standby, it's even simpler (in case there's others in the house that use the Joey(s)) to just unplug them from the power outlet and tell others in the house they're down for 30-60 minutes. If anyone turns on a Joey to try and watch TV, as I recall, it will cancel the download and it won't restart or retry on it's own.
So you have to contact Dish in order to get it early ?
Nope. Just do those steps. I contacted dish out of curiosity since there is no explanation in the email on how to do it early
