Dish 622 L356 Software Release Notes

[Scott Greczkowski]

Here are the software notes direct from our friends at Dish Network for the new 622 software (version L3.56)

Dolby digital audio synch. enhancements,
A/V (HDMI) and MPEG4 closed-captioning robustness updates (e.g. drivers)
changes to reduce reports of incorrect error 004 pop-ups,
fix locked events being shown incorrectly in timer history
possible further fixes for infrequent receiver reset conditions

Thank you sir. It looks like they are adressing most of the problems that people have been reporting and that's great news. If they would only address the problems with us second class subscribers (211s).

I bet another reason for the update is for the impending Daylight Savings Time.

Dish has had a good track record of getting an update out just before time changes.

 

[ChetK]

But no enabling of the USB port for external storage of HD?

"Dolby digital audio synch. enhancements"

LOL you picked up on that too? By enhancement they mean "maybe it'll work like its supposed too"

 

[jgags6]

Yeah maybe is right, mine is still out of sync

 

[Scott Greczkowski]

Did you reboot? Yank the plug for 30 seconds then plug it back in, you might be surprised.

Mine took the update by had the infamous blank screen w/audio when I turned it on a short while ago. Rebooted and everything appears to be working...so far.

Am I the only 622 owner out there who has a problem with timers? My OTA timers randomly disappear and re-appear. It will stay in the timers menu but the recording dot will disappear from the guide and will miss the recording. Satellite recordings are consistent. What good is the receiver if I cannot depend on the timers?
I was hoping that the latest software update would address the problem, but I guess not...

I've already noticed improvemnts with the new update, DD audio seems to be smooth in transition from channel to channel.

 

[Cokeswigga]

I too have lost OTA timers..


even after the download...

I cant set timers for OTA

 

[JDawg]

My Vip622 is showing a "serious hard disk error" after the reboot. Anyone else seeing bad drives? The error code is 05a1

I have noticed some video jerkiness in live and recorded shows.

Anyone noticed this?

Yes, I noticed this too and it was on both satellite and ota channels. I did a power cord reboot and it went away ........for now. I hope this is the end of the audio bugs and that the video jerkiness was a temporary thing because I hadn't done a reboot till now.

I dunno if your alone but my 622 works very well and all my timers, OTA and regular are intact and functional after upgrade.

Last night I set Numbers and an ABC program to record on my new 622. While watching Numbers I hit the "go back" button and the picture froze. At first I thought the unit was completely frozen but after hitting "cancel" a couple of times I got a message asking me if I wanted to stop recording. I had to stop recording Numbers to get the system to work again.

This is the first time this has happened. Anyone else have this problem?

In the 4 days I have had the 622 I have had to do power button reboots 3 times due to loss of audio, loss of video, etc. Luckily I am familiar with power button reboots due to the fact that I upgraded from a 921, but my 921 didn't need rebooting this often.

I have this on my 942. When I get my 622 I'll see if there's any change.

 

[MikeD-C05]

Okay I have had the new software since early Friday morining and in two days I have had to reboot twice, once a day at different times when it acted up. The video jerkiness will happen on ALL channels , even the ota channels, at least once a day. The audio drop outs are gone as far as I can tell , but the video jerkiness has replaced it. So I guess I will keep up the daily reboots around 6:30 pm each day to prevent any problems during the primetime shows that are recording.

Major annoyance******
