Hopper with Sling S517 Update Is Here

[charlesrshell]

I was checking my remote controls in the System Info screen and noticed S517 update came with the daily update early this morning. I usually check every morning but thought it would be a while for the next update to come so haven't been checking lately. I will check the color button shortcuts list sometime this weekend and post a new listing update.

So far with a one day run of S517, looks like manual timer icon stuck record status is fixed. OTA timer start early/end late is not.

I am really disappointed OTA timer Start Early and End Late settings still do not work.

This spooled the 14th at 11pm MST...so most probably had it Thursday if the STB's were off and no timers/autotunes set.

Spooling takes place over a period of weeks. Not everyone get's it at the same time.

I must gotten mine last night. My receiver was on the Hopper channel when I turned it on this morning, usually means there was an update.

DEFINITELY ....... I will be one of the last to get it, just like last time.

It may still be on limited roll out with Mike at the very end of the list. No need to tell us every day you don't have it just tell us when you do.

Subscribers who lock out Fox News get them last.

I noticed in the System Info screen (Menu + Menu) a blue button at the top labeled Zoom. When selected a big window pops open titled Attention #1560 and it has the Receiver CA, Smart Card, and Location IDs. Has this always been there or is it new with this latest update?

 

[thomasjk]

It was there before. Don't remember which update added it.

Thanks, it sure makes reading the IDs much easier.

 

[thomasjk]

Agreed.

 

[JSheridan]

They don't want you to have any excuse when the audit department calls.

 

[ChadT41]

Likely makes it easier for the reps when replacing the receiver or verifying an account as well. You know, for us blind folk.

I'm fairly certain it came with S512-515

I think I'll be at the bottom, haha, took me forever to get S515 on all of mine.

I asked about this at CES and it does not sound like it will be fixed. I don't remember the reason I was given, but I did ask. Wish I had better news to report.

That doesn't seem very Fair and Bal...oh, nevermind.

I've said it before, but there's more and more indications that Dish is reducing their "support" of anything related to OTA.... I think that them fixing the inability to record OTA sub-channels was probably an exception.
