New 622 Feature Coming

[Hall]

If you were scheduled or on the list of units to receive L441, you would have already. Watch P Smith's postings for when he sees add'l units targeted for the update. Until then, there's no need to ask how to get it, ask why you didn't get it, and so on. You will, soon.

Got 441 yesterday

I have an early 622 with a bad hdmi port. I received 441 yesterday when I turned the early news on. I cant wait to return this receiver for a new one with a good hdmi port. My wife wants to save many of the oprah shows so I had to wait smile.

Johnch, Oprah is SD. Why not just save those to DVD?

L405 here STILL!!!! What is taking so long?

 

[johnch]

Oprah smile

Actually she watches them on channel 5 HD so when she records them they do take up significantly more space. I am trying to get her to watch them and them and then remove them but you know how that goes

You will probably get it tomorrow but will definately have it by Wednesday. You're not really missing anything right now except for folders in your DVR menu. Wednesday is the day it matters.

Is it true that the Dish home options (view bill, etc...) are still downloaded from the phone line???

Yes

that stinks

 

[CubsWin]

Yes

Hopefully only temporarily. I don't see why Dish Home couldn't also take advantage of the ethernet connection.

It's only spooling out to receivers up to serial number 76<something>. I expect more serial numbers will be added today -- or it's made available to everyone.

Where can you find the serial #? I found a number that goes ROO78*, is that it?

This release seems pretty solid, as previous posters have pointed out you're not really missing anything until Wednesday and everyone should have it by then.

Ethernet port active now! Wooo.... now to get all the DishHome content pushed through it.

 

[CubsWin]

Should my 622 be sending status updates now that I have it connected to the ethernet port? I have an IP address and successfully ordered a pay per view movie, but the status update still fails for no dial tone.

Seems like the Ethernet thing is only for the heartbeat to show you have it connected to a phone or the net.. Maybe in the future they'll let us do Dishhome, PPV, etc. via the net link if all goes well.

I could be wrong and maybe people'll be pleasantly surprised tomorrow, but by the sounds of it it's just to get around the need for a phone line for that monthly discount of having one connected.
