Has anyone seen a Hopper 3 software version update? I am still on U517. It appears U700 has come out for the Hopper with Sling and the the issue with Hopper to Hopper viewing programs is fixed.
U700 software for hopper with sling
 
U518 on the Hopper 3 is out but it looks like it didn't go to everybody yet.

2 month newbie here so guess I’m lost. I’ve got H3 and the ask was about U700 and reply was about U517 and U518 coming out.
Where did I miss it??

Read post again starting at post #1.
 
I’m H3 w/sling sitting at U517. Guess I’ll assume if it updates, it’ll go to U700.

No, it will go to U518. The Hopper 2 or Hopper With Sling will go from U249 to U700.

H3 w/sling? Do you have a Hopper 3 or Hopper with Sling? The latest software version for Hopper 3 is U517. U518 will be out soon. If you have a Hopper with Sling the latest software is U700.

Got U129 on both my H1s. Remote hopper viewing appears to be fixed, mostly. Skip fwd, skip back are working and the 30s/10s times look right. Fast forward at 15x, 60x and 300x looks ok, too. Only problem I see is when I press the STOP button. The picture is just frozen. No other graphics displayed. I believe it used to show the option to Resume/Delete/DVR/Live TV. That’s what playback does if you are viewing a recorded show on the near hopper(not one on the remote hopper). Pressing the PAUSE button unfreezes the picture as does pressing DVR.

The Hopper 3 (AKA H3) is not typically referred to as "Hopper3 w/Sling) - I don't think. The HWS is a different animal altogether. It will get the 700 update, the H3 will get U518.

Hmm......just going with what’s right on the front. Is there a H3 without sling?

No. All Hopper 3's have built in Sling.

So - as far as we know (or me, anyway) it appears that the update to U518 was stopped and many of us are still on 517..... has anyone heard what's up with that? Any idea when that (or any other) update will occur?

Just curious. :idea

Thanks
 
Don’t. Really, don’t. Don’t give in.

ARRGGGHH! SOON!
