Update: It also changed the adjust screen in TV settings to default from my custom setting from when I first got my H3. Timers are so screwed up that, for example, if you set up a recording for Dances With Wolves next Friday on Epix it creates a manual timer with incorrect times and shows up in the timer menu as 380 EPIX, 6:30-10:30 PM. I'm also running into not being able to create timers at all...I tried to record my local news tonight and it told me a timer already existed and only gave me the option to delete it but it doesn't exist in the timer list.
You may want to check today. It seems that the H305 update has been pulled back as of last night. I'm back on H301.
Same here. Wonder what's going on! My 4KJ & WJ went back to the last software version too.
I think everybody who saw the rollbacks has some combination of Hopper and Joey. Did the Wally (crodrule's sister) get rolled back as well?
She got the W501 last night without doing anything. About a half-hour ago, I walked her through the process of forcing a manual update, and it started downloading. As soon as the download looked like it was finished, the Wally went into Boot Recovery mode! So, after waiting for that download to complete, the Wally screensaver came back up normally. She turned the Wally back on and checked the version again. She now has W501 with a fresh download listed with today's date. Checking the Update Software tool again, it now says that she already has the latest version, W501.
...which is something that Dish normally does not do. I honestly think that this time around, the update was not supposed to go out at all, or at least not yet. My sister received the (let's just call it) "05" update on Monday. Normally there is a one week delay before the (apparent) Soak release goes out to anyone in the general public at all, but members here were reporting receiving it (and/or forcing it) by Friday. I was able to force it myself, after others here reported receiving it. Now, even she has been rolled back to the old version. Hopefully, this means that Dish fixed this glitch with their authorization system, so that new releases are no longer going out to members of the public who should not be getting them.
Dish cannot be releasing bad software updates to some and making available to others to optionally download. Especially with the issues listed here. Forget beta testing, it makes you wonder if there was any alpha testing.....
Perhaps Dish is desperate to recruit new beta testers. They release a new version to a select few here who regularly post about downloading the new versions as soon as they are available, and see what we have to say about it. Then, when problems are found, the release gets quietly pulled. Those of us who provided useful feedback get quietly contacted by Dish in private messages, and have the opportunity to enroll in their beta tester program. It is just a theory...
