I am expecting a software update soon... but with that said on the Hopper the software team have been REALLY reactive to issues. There has been a few cases where new software has gone out one day then have a new update go out within a day or two after that to fix an issue that the other new software might have caused (or an issue the other software might not have fixed.)
I am REALLY impressed with how quickly we have been getting new update on the Hopper.

That's true. They seem to really be putting a lot of effort in this one. OTOH, I would be even more impressed if they'd just fix the damn bugs, some of which have been around for more than 10 SW iterations.
They need to stop worrying about new features (after OTA and manual timers are implemented, which are basic features that should have been included from day one) and go through the code line by line to get it to work 100% correctly. Too many CE companies have forgotten how important that is. And, too many consumers seem perfectly willing to let them continue down that road.

That would be great. Bluetooth and OTA support are my two biggest wants.
Here's my Halloween wish list: fixed caller ID, fixed erratic skip forward/skip back from Joeys, manual timers. Others' wish list may vary.

Scott,
Any word on if or when S223 will be released beyond the employee testing pool?
No word. But I do know other betas have gone out since then. So I don't expect to see S223 to go out to customers, it will probably be something else like S224.

That's equally good to know. Better to have them patch problems before a general roll out rather than having to scramble after the fact.

I have the Hopper S224 downloaded 10-12-2012 @ 10:32 PM and Joey S273 downloaded 10-13-2012 3:10 AM
I seem to be having problems with the record series and save series. These used to create a timer as New and Reruns and the save series only saves the one that is selected. It seems to be only doing a save not a save series.

But (Official DISH Network Support Member) replied me that currently there are no plans to add manual timers to the Vip922 or the Hopper. Please, confirm because if they will not be added I may return my Hopper and replace it with a regular VIP DVR that I used to have and it was perfect as I have international package which never has an accurate EPG.
DISH CSR's (and even DIRT team members) will not talk about any product or promotion until its officially available.
Here is Vivek Khemka from DISH Network posting about Manual timers are coming to the Hopper.

What I'm hearing is yes bluetooth works on S223... No word on the "soft delete" feature but that seems like a nice add on.
