Just got word the software is scheduled to go out Thursday / Friday.

The software will be S422 for the Hopper and S333 for the Hopper with Sling. Joeys will be upgraded to S361 / S454

It will be a staggered rollout so some of you might get it on Thursday others might get it on Friday, some may not get it until later. If you do not get it in the first two windows there is no way to force a download of the software.

Now I have to stay at home all day Thursday and Friday waiting for the download? This is ridiculous and inconvenient.

Even if it wasn't happening overnight you probably wouldn't notice it was updating until the process was finished. There is no reason to stay home. Updating doesn't require any intervention on your part.

Once it is in wide rollout (ie to everyone) if your Hopper does not have that software then it will grab it. Unplugging it will not stop your Hopper from getting updates.

Sure you can. Unplug the Hopper and leave it unplugged when you're not actively using it.

Soon as you plug it in, you'd better tie up all (3) tuners and keep them tied up. The Hopper downloads updates around the clock, at anytime, not just during the nightly reboot.

Ray (Dirt) just posted this on the Dish forum, interesting that no one here has mentioned they got it, usually someone pops in with more info.

"The S3.33 was released early this morning"

"
The fixes I show for the 1/22/14 software update provide resolution for EHD issues (Hopper not recognizing EHD when connected, transfer from EHD to Hopper stuck with few seconds remaining), apps not loading, HDMI-CEC where TV and receiver power off, and 3D VOD issues with the remote. Thanks"

At least one person did mention it, but I think that person is a Dish employee and may have gotten it a day or two early.

Ray should have included a comment along the lines of "There are most likely add'l fixes included but no details are given". People will be complaining that "they didn't fix this?" and "why didn't they fix that" ! :eek:
 

DishAnywhere is (NOT) busted for MAC's. (Update - OS Issue not DISH issue)

Hopper with sling improvements
