301 SW Build
Gents;210
I'm a little confused by all of this talk about the new software build for the 301. I have a 301 receiver (the sticker on the back of the unit says Reg. ID 010) but the software build I have is P210DEXXXXX (I forgot the last couple of digits). Is this the new software? If so, then I think a lot of people are going to be disappointed; I cannot see any difference between it and prior builds. The EPG still has to download and it is still VERY SLOW to do so. Also, I see no evidence at all that the guide is being stored or cached in some internal memory in the receiver; everytime I turn the receiver off it still has to download the guide, and every time I "scroll forward" in time about 4 hours it has to download that data as well. While I do have the ability to "scroll forward" into the next days programming guide (which I don't think I used to be able to do, now that I think about it) the feature is worthless because the reciever keeps stopping to download. I guess what I'm trying to say is, if I have the new SW, then it pretty much sucks, except for whatever SuperDISH functionality it might have.
