S104 just came out - HD Streaming perfect!

[djjenkins]

Wow, S104 just came out and it fixed my Sling issues! I just tried out HD streaming on my Mac and it was PERFECT. No pixelation at all. So amazing.

 

[zer0cool]

Trying it out now. Seems much improved.

I don't have the watch live button on dish3.sling.com this morning.

Oh hey it's before the 23rd, can anyone confirm if this also fixes the EHD?

Is their a release note on S104?

 

[SolApathy]

EHD is testing right now. I am transferring a large amount of data (it is re-enabled)

I just looked at mine and I am still on the old software.

 

[SolApathy]

Just did a test with new sling player software. Unfortunately it is still incompatible. 2.0 is still working.

I received mine overnight, I am still waiting to connect my EHD until I see the problems have been resolved.

I'm at work so not sure if I have the new software, but the picture on my iPhone looks a lot better. I only have 512 up at home and the picture was always jerky but look good right now.

I've been waiting for the EHD fix as well. The sooner they fix this, the sooner they get my $200!

S104- Over the Dish site still having streaming issues when I switch to HD. Running around 3k streaming speed over the site... Getting pixelixation randomly both watching recorded & live content. SD streaming is alright... If it didn't take 5 minutes to get to it.

Yea it loads up faster. I have never had a problem with the stream in HD or SD. I have noticed that the weather help account now loads faster.: The stream to my IPhone was always good. It does lock up from time to time but that is due to ATT stinking 3G coverage.

EHD 1st transfer failed with an unknown error... 2nd attempt with limited content is in progress but is lagging the GUI something fierce. Even changing channels is lagged pretty bad.

Sling in SD still cuts off the sides of the image

Ugh. That's too bad. This is the only thing keeping me from upgrading, cuz I don't wanna lose my HD recordings on my 622. But I'm constantly running out DVR space now!

Sorry it didn't work for you, but thanks alot for following up. I'll be monitoring this issue intently, so if you have any future updates, please keep us informed!

I have S104 and one thing I notice is that the guide does not work properly. On lower number channels it works, but if I go to like HBO at 300 it locks up the guide. After the recording frenzy tonight I will try more experiments to see if I can get it to work.

I can enter the guide and see the 3 hour block for HBO, but I cannot navigate around the guide. If I go to a lower channel like syfy at 122 the guide works fine.

Sad to see not everyone else is getting the results I am. But across the board S104 is more stable for me and the Sling is working great, even in HD. This was NOT the case with S102. If this means anything, things should only get better with software updates.
