S418 software for the Original Hopper

[oldengineer]

That is really odd that only your system was affected by the update in regards to the HIC, since others aren't having the same problems. Have you tried rebooting your modem/router and rerunning the connection tests?

Several times, with 2 different routers, with and without the HIC. The problem is that after a reset or a network reset one Hopper will see the other Hopper for a minute or so but will not play any recordings and the other Hopper will disappear. The Joeys only show the Hopper they are linked to. The network connections are fine - all 4 boxes have internet connectivity and On Demand works ok either with the HIC or with a bridged Hopper hard wired to the router. The system has been solid prior to this update.

What if you remove the BB connection all together? Then do the boxes all see each other? What if you disable bridging on both of the Hoppers ?

What about ota scan? Is it still all or nothing or have they activated individual channel scan?

The main problem is that after a network reset the Hoppers will see each other for a minute or 2 and then fail. Selecting the other hopper with the DVR button will show the other Hopper's full drive for a minute or so, then will only show the PTAT, Rentals and Deleted Items folders, then nothing. I've spent most of the day changing routers, running with and without the HIC and trying all kinds of resets. The problem persists, momentary proper functionality, then no Hopper/Hopper visibility.

I like the on demand next to the channel it corresponds with...search feature is ok and the dvr recordings is cleaner but seems smaller...will take a sec to get used to

Anything else anyone has noticed???

Are you positive all your boxes updated? It almost sounds like a case of mismatched software on the network.

I believe the tv activity page has changed a bit. On demand and search were changed. Video on demand channels. CEC is there too.

S418 on both Hoppers. S357 on both Joeys.

And you're using just a duo node? I'm perplexed since my install sounds similar to yours and it's working fine.

Just checked my Hopper and it is on s401. Is this the prior version or have I missed a few updates? Is there a comprehensive list somewhere that shows the updates and fixes?

 

[Bobby]

It's the last update before S418...

I would really like to know the answer to this post.

I've always wondered if Dish would update one Hopper in a home and not the other. It seems like it could be asking for trouble if they did not...

Nope

It's happened to me before almost every time they release a new update. Most of them update at the same time but one usually takes one or two weeks later to update.

No

 

[lucky86]

I would bet that the number of two hopper installs is probably pretty small in the big picture. I've seen a handful of posts with people who have had mismatched sw for a few days since hopper was released.

 

[3HaloODST]

No

...

What is Dish's definition of "soon?" Still the same old "anywhere between now and never?"

 

[lucky86]

No idea. I don't use ota enough for it to bother me. Hopefully soon.

Just woke up to this... Of course, I don't want this software but it appears my HwS is on the beta testing list... Going back to sleep, hope the software isn't as bad as it seems according to this thread... We'll find out later today...
