Software Versions for Android TV (ATV) devices - Joey 4, Wireless Joey 4, Hopper Plus

[jsmit86]

On the Hopper, in Diagnostics, the same page where it shows the current version of software, there is a Joey section and that should show you what's the current version available.

Yes... mine are posted up thread.

And PIP too.

That's my main motivation! I use it a lot on my main TV with the Hopper.
It will be nice to get it in the Man Cave!

H398 is the most current.

H398 is the most current.

Thanks. I thought I saw a post that H399 came out.

Thanks. I thought I saw a post that H399 came out.

If it did it would be in a very tight download, only to select individuals.

Assuming that once my Joeys get that upate, I can use the options button, correct?
Also, should be able to program one of the diamond buttons as a shortcut?

I am glad the display format is brought back... and PIP too... as PIP is the beginning where there is a chance the Side by Side and Multi-View may eventually come back in the not too distant future...

I don't see that happening. They had a hard enough time getting PIP to work due to Android OS limitations.

Say, does pip work on the joey 4 itself ?? Thanks. (Or only still on the h3 directly )

The Joey software is downloaded / stored and served from the Hopper. When the Joey's get a software update they get it from the Hopper.

can you force the hoppers to download the software

Yes, downloading is possible with Settings -> Diagnostics -> Tools under the Receiver section -> Technician Settings -> Download ATV Files
but how does one actually install the downloaded files is the question.

The Hopper Plus never updated on it's own from experience, I always had to check for updates from the Hopper Plus's Device Preferences in order to update. It still does not use the downloaded ATV files. The Hopper 3 does auto update but it's still slower than manually doing it.

My Hopper Plus and all my Joey 4s updated at the same time.

We don't have to hopper plus so i wouldn't know though i might play around with the joey 4 but ours is up to date so i think the joey 4 will update on there own. we were told to avoid the hopper + if we have smart t.v's it's nothing more than a glorified streaming box!!! our joey 4 updated as soon as it was hooked up. it gets it's updates from the hopper..
