L627

[120inna55]

I've searched and searched and have yet to find a thread regarding L627. If I've overlooked it, please accept my apologies and close/delete this thread.

I received L627 on my ViP622 this morning. My ViP722 still has L625.

The most obvious thing I noticed is the annoying VOD nag at the bottom of the guide.

I guess it was inevitable.

Selecting "guide" again, turns it off.

Anything else new in this software release?

You can turn of the VOD guide "enhancement". Go into enhancements and turn it off.

Its supposed to allow us to order PPV through the Ethernet port (ie no phone line) as well as access Dish 100/customer support. try it and let us know, I got rid of my 622's just have 722's so i can;t try it yet. thx

We could already order PPV through ethernet. I don't have a phone line and I have always been able to order PPV. However, the customer support would be a nice touch since many people are keeping their internet and getting rid of land lines.

Awesome! Thanks.

It took me a while to find "enhancements". Silly me...I should have looked under "Installation" in the first place.

At least Dish thought ahead. It seems that they knew it would be such an annoyance to some of us that they gave us a way to turn it off.

For those of you with L627, do you have the volume leveling software in your receivers? I think it's in the Dolby Digital menu. Menu, 6, 7.

Thanks.

I have it on my 922 and it doesn't work too well. Commercials are still loud. Especially the Dish commercials. Using the optical hookup to the Denon.

Nothing there about "volume leveling". Same stuff there as in 625 (I just compared to my 722 which still has 625).

I had not seen the VOD Banner in the guide. Must you be broadband connected to see see it?

L627 does include TV Ratings.

I have noticed a couple of correct issue in this release.

6:12am Local HD Blip corrected.
Guide channel selection corrected.

Others have suggested the EHD event deletion problem has been addressed. I never invoked the condition before. But I could not make it happen with L627.

Any news on this software about a 722K/Onkyo Dolby Digital fix?

 

[cruzmisl]

I still don't have it on my 622. Any idea when it should be coming down the pipe? I won't use my EHD until then for fear of losing more saved VOOM content.

 

[120inna55]

Since 627, I've noticed quite frequent audio dropouts. The 722 with 625 is unaffected.

According to http://www.satelliteguys.us/dish-network-forum/201397-shows-ehd-erased-after-watching-known.html thread, the L627 now allows to watch programs off the external hard drive without worring that they would be deleted after that. If that's the case, then this would be the biggest thing in this release. I can't wait to get the L627, as I am not touching my external drives until this ugly bug is fixed!

 

[shinji]

Any chance they fixed the audio dropout issue between Sony Bravia tvs and their VIP622/722 receivers?

 

[SandFarmer]

You can turn of the VOD guide "enhancement". Go into enhancements and turn it off.

That's one of my favorite settings. Especially in the OFF position.

Any idea on how the roll out is going? I still have 628. What does 628 have?

I received L627 today, and one big annoyance...both IR and UHF remotes have VERY slow response time. It takes 4 seconds for the EPG to show on the screen after hitting the remote button.

If you haven't already, you might want to try a power cord reset. That's been known to correct things like that after a FW upgrade...
