Scott..
I used to check the software updates all the time at http://www.dishnetwork.com/content/customerCare/technical/software_versions/index.asp
I can't find em anymore without looking up each individual model. Do you have a new site that you use?

A little more action over here. Like me passing out when the $*%&% update caused the infamous hard drive corruption message on my machine. Soft and hard reboots did nothing. Finally crossed my fingers and hit the "delete now" button and after the subsequent reboot, only thing gone was the content from the "My Entertainment" menu.

Crisis averted *whew*.

If this is the benefit of software updates, it might make me think twice about beating the drum for some of those enhancements I've been looking forward to.

DP721 (PVR721) L324 Thursday 3/1/2007
PIP now has "side by side" (third press of PIP button).
I assume includes "DLST Spring transition change".


Twice since... L324 update... overnight my 721 goes to only a 3 day guide,
so the next morning I've had to "pull my smart card" to get my 9 day guide back.
(yes I power down my 721 over night)
I wish there was a "menu button"
To "force a guide update"
instead of a complete reboot.

Sorry Dish, ain't biting....come back when you fix what you screwed up.

So how messed up will mine be without the DLST update on it?

(this assuming they don't decide to force the update...in which case I'll throw the now doorstop out the window, making any DLST issues moot.)

Update... three times overnight I've lost my 9 day guide with 721 L324.
It only has a 3 day guide the next day.
I'm trying a factory defaults reset this time.
E* , If you are listening, the next time you design a receiver, spend more on the cpu and memory, electronics are cheap, pennies cheap! A receiver that takes more than 2 minutes to reboot is not Acceptable, no matter how much you saved on parts!
Also hire some people who know how write "working code"!!!
