U511 Software breaks control of a Remote Hopper3

[David_Levin]

I think that the lack of text now beneath the DVR tiles is a bit of a misstep. Maybe they will add a way to toggle those back on again.

Agreed, I can't tell what some of the recordings are. Again I ask.... Did dish let anyone beta test this thing?

Anyone getting wind of them stopping the rollout, please let us know.

Good to know that their more advanced users are “bottom of the list.”

He didn't say it wouldn't get fixed. He said that it was a low priority to get fixed before those issues that involve the vast majority of subscribers.

Life isn't so good right now for some of the dual Hopper "advanced users". If I ever get to the point where
my DVR has such a profound impact on my life I will check myself into a lifestyle adjustment seminar.

I'm very pleased with my standalone Hopper3. It has no EHD, no OTA, no Dish Anywhere, no streaming.

Record...watch...delete

Stress free satellite television.

Good grief, making subscribers start a recording in order to figure what it is is a problem. This is something they could have figured out without a beta test.

I'm going to post your complaints on the tech portal. So far, no techs have posted it yet. We'll see what happens

Well, once you select an item, the name appears on the right side. It's still a pain though.

Now that I've actually got U511, for me the right side info solves the "problem".

Yes. Yes, they did.

Got a mirror?

Not sure if this happened with U511 or when, but I haven't been around much lately - or keeping up with the updates.... when did DISH finally let us start deciding when we want our "1AM reboot" to happen? That is so cool. Finally!

Yes, that is new with U511, and I agree it is about damn time!

It has been over one month since Dish broke trick play of a remote Hopper. Scott, any word when Dish is going to roll out the fix? I have been a loyal high paying Dish customer since 2000 but I am getting frustrated. The Dish Technical Support seem surprised when I ask about the problem. It should not be that hard to fix since it worked prior to software U511. The software group should be able to compare the code between the previous software and the new software and isolate the change that is causing the problem. I had hope that U516 on May 11 would fix the problem but it did not.

If I had to guess, I would say probably next month.

 

[Scott Greczkowski]

I just know it is in testing. Don't know of any release date.

 

[navychop]

We all know the answer:

“SOON.”

:haha

 

[nmguy]

I'm wondering what THAT untested fix will break!

 

[pattykay]

I'm wondering when it will actually get tested.

 

[navychop]

As soon as they release it to us.

 

[glynnp]

As soon as they release it to us.

Carnac sez you will be testing DISH software releases five years from now.
