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.

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.

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.

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?

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

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

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.

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.
