Well ... Until this past week, I was in dual mode all the time, but then was doing some testing and switched back to single mode ... and then found that with the current firmware (either changed with L683 or L685) when going to DRA/DO and coming out it would switch back to Single mode.
If it wasn't the firmware that changed that behavior, then it was something on the back end that caused the receiver to switch back into single mode .... because before "then" I would be in single mode, it would switch to Dual mode, and then stay there.
I've just tested again .... manually switching into dual mode first... and the same effect.
Now the one thing that *may* be different now after this weekend ... is that before now ... you'd start the playback ... and it would immediately start on TV1 ... and then usually *not* start on the web. The two or three times I've tried this since the system came back up sunday night, the item starts on TV1 and then within the 20 to 40 seconds later, playback has started on the web too.
This was the behavior that started 7 to 8 weeks ago, on a sunday the week after they took the "beta" out of their url and off all the normal pages. DO went off line for about 30 minutes that sunday ... and when it came back.. 4 out of 5 times, trying to play an item on the Web would only start it on TV1 and the web page would stay playing live tv.
During this time DRA always worked as normal.. and surprise surprise.. *DRA* actually has the choices there in front of you on the play button ... when you hover over it offers to Start on web/start on TV or "resume" if the item had already been played some already.
And that's a sore point in DishOnline for me.. that DishOnline rather than just adding the content "Aggregation" (hulu, hbo, starz, epix, etc) they completely dropped all the features of DRA and appears to have started from scratch, *without* the most common features available (all the DVR's have resume, DRA has resume, so why doesn't DishOnline? ... and there are other features missing)
