Hopper with Sling Software Upgraded to S523

[kenvols]

Recall button has changed. You don't need to press twice. Also, changing setting for multi-swap feature makes no difference.

It's like DISH buying and overseeing the bankruptcy process of Blockbuster never happened..................

I'm sure they'll write it off as a loss some way. Pretty stupid to spend anything on it and not use it any more than they did. I wonder if they'll stop putting "BLOCKBUSTER" on the right hand side of the Hopper faceplates?

The setting is at On,Immediate. Mine is just set to On and still requires 2 presses.

Sure they will

You have to change it under Guide Settings, Format Guide not under Multi-Swap

That is called Multi Channel Recall. Multi Swap is different.

Most likely . I see the Blockbuster name being obliterated from any new hopper design going forward.

Since 523, I've noticed that the local spots inserted by Dish no longer "stick" as badly when jumping through them. Much improved.

On S523, did they add the satellite location (back) to the "Info" screen? I noticed it yesterday and don't think I've seen it in a while.

Still at the bottom between the record options and suggested shows/movie titles.

I'm sure it was there before S523.

I thought it was too, then it disappeared for a short time, and is back now (?).

Also, I noticed one or two (I did not check more for this purpose) program details that were 2-4 lines long and ended with "...". I thought they increased the text "field" for this a while ago and descriptions weren't being cut off. If I remember, I'll check more later.

The orbital location has been there all along. It only displays when you're watching live TV. It doesn't show when you're watching delayed or recorded programming.

That could definitely be why I didn't / don't see it very often then !

 

[JSheridan]

I thought that might 'xplain it'.

Since S523, I've now had three instances of the "jump to end" bug while using the 30 second skip button during a recording. When it happens, only the stop button works which means I have to start the recording over and fast forward to where the bug occurred in the recording. Never had this until 523.

You can click the page down button( right below the aux button) to see the remaining text.

You shouldn't have to though and it's not intuitive that you would. There is blank space for multiple more lines but they're not using it - as if it's reserved for something else.

This change was added in S520 I believe. So not totally new.

 

[ChadT41]

I thought it was before that. something like 512 or 514
