L3.66 for 622

[NetWhiz]

Anyone know what was fixed in this release and why this instead of L4.01? I checked my receiver this afternoon and saw it went from L3.65 to L3.66 with nothing from L4.01 included.

It was just a DST change

It's on the home page...

622's begin to see software update
This morning Dish Network has started rolling out a software update to the 622. it is not the L4.01 software update which was promoted on the last tech chat. SatelliteGuys.US has been told that the L4.01 update has been "suspended indefinitely".

This mornings software update only addresses the daylight savings time fix, as daylight savings time starts earlier this year on March 11th.

Because of this we would not expect to see L4.01 released until after March 11th.

Update 11:02am - We just got an phone call telling us the L4.01 software has been temporarly delayed and not "suspended indefinitely"

Thanks tawhite.

Not everyone reads the homepage 120inna55, but thanks for the info too.

...Not everyone reads the homepage...

Myself included. I just happened across it and therefore pasted it above for anyone else browsing this thread. No offense intended.

Got it last night!

Now if I go to Dish Home, 2, 5 (TWC), I can change the default and SAVE it.

Even though I could change cities and/or zip codes, the default would not save. However, maybe the power down I did a few days ago corrected that.

L4.01 Coming Soon = Dishspeak for never!!!

Got it last night and had no sound over HDMI this morning. Luckily came back when I rebooted the recevier.

Link light is now active.

 

[tawhite]

It has been.

Did I just not see it before, or did 3.66 add additional guide display options? I sure don't remember the extended guide options before.

 

[120inna55]

They've been there for as long as I can remember. I prefer the extended-partial guide with picture.

Although I've already had the latest software update/download, my receiver did its schedule daily EPG update this morning 2 hours late. I wonder if the internal clock is screwed up with the Daylight Savings Time update. The receiver was off and there were not any shows being recorded at the regular scheduled time.

Link light is now active.

What IP did it pull ?? I know the answer, but...

 

[gdarwin]

Dosen't show up in my DHCP table. Neither one of them.

Just FYI, the "light", either at your router or the 622 means that a physical, electrical connection exists. It does NOT mean that data is flowing between the two.

For example, reboot a PC and watch the light on your router. As soon as the PC restarts, the light will turn on. Networking is a "service" that doesn't run until the OS (the case with Windows, Linux, etc) starts it.
