Dishonline active on 622

[David]

Turned on my 622 this morning and there is an active menu choice for Dishonline. Played with it for only a few minutes, but it shows a menu of over 100 movies available for 24 hour viewing, at least on of them for $2.99. Was surprised to see this appear today without reading anything about it in the forums...

I also have DishONLINE active on my 622s. I was upgraded to L446. David, I assume that is your software version as well?

So that's what L4.46 updated. There was a software update last night.

He's been missing in action. Maybe he's got too much on his plate right now.

L4.46!? I just got L4.45 yesterday on my other 622.

I am on it.

(Don't forget I was away last week and didn't have iinternet access for much of the week)

 

[lakebum431]

Tons of movies. Some good classics, but nothing in HD

Lets not forget here all the great info Scott has gotten us in the past. Ease up a bit.

 

[lakebum431]

Oh, and there is a separate adult section with a bunch of movies, but they are pretty expensive $11.99!

 

[darrencp22]

I'm at work so I can't check it out... anything else noteworthy on 446 besides the ability to order movies?

Still on 445, is there a way to force the new software?

Just make sure the receiver is turned off. The update went to all the 622s and 722s receivers so everyone will get it.

 

[darrencp22]

Can someone play with the ehd feature? I'm hoping some usability updates where made.

I figured that question was coming soon No, there is no way to "force a download". However, if your receiver has been targed then put both tuner 1 and tuner 2 in standby (and make sure nothing is recording) and the download will start in about 30 seconds. Until the receiver is targeted you can't do anything to get it.

 

[adavis720]

Thanks, the question was more for my curiosity than anything...

 

[Scott Greczkowski]

Still have L445 on mine at home.

I am trying the PIP Trick to try forcing it, since it appears this should be going out to all.

To do the PIP Trick, turn on the 622, press PIP
Then Press Swap
Then press PIP until the pip window is off.
Then turn the receiver off

This "wakes up" the second tuner and hopefully makes the receiver download the new software.

My 622 was still on L445 this morning also. Perhaps this update is only going to those 622s that are connected to a network. Isn't the VOD distributed by broadband?

 

[Scott Greczkowski]

Mine is hooked to broadband and I didn't get it last night.

I am trying to get it now.
