Hopper with Sling Upgraded to S512

[Templeton0543]

Are there two s512 updates? Saturday I hooked up a replacement Hopper and it downloaded s512. Yesterday (4Nov) when my son started the box up there was a big message box about a new update feature that he cleared before I could read it. Sys info said something about s512 xxxx update

Replacement units normally take any new software updates during installation.

It is being passed out throughout a few weeks time

This is all I have seen.

Not completely correct. They will update to the latest, full release for sure. A replacement Hopper is refurbished so it's ID # may by chance be in the "test" pool group. I suppose a brand new unit could fall in that pool as well....

The latest full release is S512.

I believe S512 is still a test release, not a full release. Same with S446 on the original Hopper (I'm still on S440).

Now THAT REALLY sucks. I search for description words all the time. My only gripe about the search function is I'd like it to wait till I'm done typing what I'm searching for before it starts the search.

Anyone know how I can get this bug to the DIRT team?

That's it. I'm just curious why it would download the s512 update (sys info said it was done 4 nov at 234am) when it started with the s512 software is all.

 

[ChadT41]

If you got it within 3 days prior, it could have gotten a version of 512 and needed to finish.

People from Dish's software group are supposed to be monitoring these threads on the new software. No need to worry about DIRT.

Enough people are getting S512. So I don't believe it's beta.

EVERY release is a test release.

Interesting.... no one from DIRT has visited this thread (or they logged out and viewed it anonymously).

Maybe I will pm one directly about the issue.

Well I still haven't got it and I have a fairly new hopper with sling. I always thought that the newer receivers are the ones that get the updates first?

Well your not alone, I'm still waiting as well. I guess we won't see it until it released to everyone. In reading above it appears to be released to a test/beta release currently. I'm hoping this fixes the issue of my timers saving to whatever folder it feels like it (usually the "no folder" folder).

Never heard that one before.

Still waiting here as well.... Without question, it is still in testing phase on a limited number of receivers.

When using the search function the process no longer searches for the string in the description. It only searches for the string in the title. Prior to S446/S512 this did not occur.

Any ideas?
