U532 Hopper3 software

[dweber]

I manually updated both of my Hopper3 receivers to software version U532 at 11:30 AM today. I have not noticed any changes yet. My Joey 3 is still using U564.

Got both my Hopper 3s running with U532 now by using the Upgrade Software tool. Will check the 40.0 remote control color buttons later today.

Looking at the recent date, I am guessing it's U5.32 that made my EHD disappear again.

Edited to add: See my followup below.

Yeah I haven't heard or seen that issue in the field yet.

All 3 of my external hard drives are all still working with software U532.

See how your EHDs do the next several mornings when you fire up your Hoppers. That is when they seem to not wake up sometimes is in the mornings.

Well, I'm wrong on one count and maybe on both. I still have U5.31, and now I can "see" my EHD from the H3. I got suspicious of my error once I discovered my J3 could see the EHD just fine. Was it really gone from the H3 again? Not sure!

I could try triggering an upgrade, but there's wet snow on the dish right now and I have no satellite service at the moment. Best to wait.

Mine is out too. Unusual. Normally only lose a few seconds or a very few minutes. And that rarely.

Any information on what U532 fixes?

Or more important, what it breaks?

HipKat should have the software notes from this software release

When was the last time anything changed ?

HipKat should have the software notes from this software release

Sadly, they never posted any notes this time :/

So in essence in this case, if they had published release notes it would say: "Changed FW rev number . . . .

No, and this is probably the case with most of the s/w updates, the changes are very much back-end stuff, stuff the users don't see. Could be a bug fix for something very obscure that they've only encountered in internal testing but no reports from the outside world of it happening.

Think about it, with every s/w update Dish pushes, how many times do we see anything different ?

More than we should IMHO.

Of course that is the case with so much software these days.

If you mean a bug or multiple bugs that have existed for some period of time without being fixed, you have to think what they are fixing must be pretty bad even if we don't see them. The 'visible' bugs, while annoying, must not be considered critical or severe by Dish's rules. Or, they may be very complex to fix. They may be working on them at the same time too but they're not fixed yet or fully tested.

I just meant that we see bugs or unintended changes in software behavior more than I would like.
