L3.58 Spotted!

[abricko]

Here we go again folks... we'll see if it sticks and what it fixes!


<font color="#0080FF"><b>05/31/2006: 0823</b></font> <b>Software Version L3.58 for ViP 622 DVR</b>
<p>
Effective <b><font color="red">Thursday, June 1st</font></b>, Engineering plans to spool a PARTIAL PHASE of software version <b>L3.58</b> for the <b>ViP 622 DVR</b> receiver. This is primarily a non-forced maintenance release available at <b>ALL</b> satellite locations.
<p></p>
At this time <b>L3.57 and L3.58</b> will be the valid software versions for the <b>ViP 622 DVR</b>.

When something is a "partial phase", what does that really mean? The last updates were "full phase".

 

[RandallA]

Only a selected range of receivers will get the update. Full phase means to all receivers.

I would assume the update is more detailed and provides complex software modifications with a much greater potential for introducing new bugs that cannot be fully texted in a lab environment. Thus, the update is pushed to a small sampling of receivers, and the results are carefully measured, before ordering a larger or a full phase roll-out. Hmmm. But perhaps Dish Network Labs just rolls a pair dice...

 

[abricko]

My guess is agile output for the first update and some other partial update bs for this one (maybe to get it ready for new HD channels?) it's funny to see how many updats they are trying to push out this week... isn't there a tech summit this week also? HRMMMMMM?

"But perhaps Dish Network Labs just rolls a pair dice..."

I think that's a better definition for Partial Phase. :devil:

I read a post on the other site stating the update will fix some local HD problems. Specifically an audio sync problem with the SF Bay area KGO/ABC HD feed. Since I live there, I hope it's correct.

It'll probably make the Dish Logo more robust, when the receiver is turned off. It used to float on the 625, it jumps from one spot to the other on the 622....

I could've used some of that sarcasm service at work today :up

I checked the Tech Portal and see that the 622 update in not listed. http://rweb.echostar.com/departmental_content/TechPortal/content/tech/TechDepo.shtml

The audio sync issue is on the station's side and appears on all HD feeds, including OTA and cable. I've tested it myself.

Well sorry, look at my signature...THE VOICES TOLD ME TO SAY IT!!!:devil: :devil: :devil:

 

[ralfyguy]

Scott, is this the big fix now?

Wow! Is that the video stuttering I've been reading about...? (LOL, I think)

That's part of it.

 

[long_time_DNC]

So when does this one go out?

 

[ralfyguy]

It used to be June 1st, but it's still inofficial.

 

[abricko]

still says june 1st, they'll probably update it tomorrow morning by either uncommenting and releasing it, push it back a day or two or it'll disappear!

 

[hzhao]

Anyone got this release yet?

 

[RandallA]

It didn't spool yet.
