[VOOM] New receivers?

[Robert Heitner]

I just spoke with my Dad and his current software version is V00.01.04. On
the system status screens (where you press down arrow to see more info), he
has way more entries than I do. I have V00.05.68.

Is his _really, really_ old or brand new? The installer said it was the
first one he'd seen like that.

Does anyone know?

That is the new software that is starting to appear in new installations.

[VOOM] Re: New receivers?

I just had one of my receivers replaced for the fifth time and a
second one replaced for the first time. One of them was the new
receiver with software version 6.0.0. Its has scanning, but it
doesn't work properly. For example, when you scan for channels it
locks them in. I had about 16 channels locked in, but no fox channel
10. The installer stopped trying to get channel 10 in (which I got
before) he also thought I was going to get a bunch of new channels.
Upon existing the scanning screen I only had the channels that I had
before, not the new ones that were found and I also got channel 10
which would not come up during the scan.

The installer said the scanning was not ready for use. He also said
there was an install wizard that was not ready for use either. No
more audio drop outs though.

It Kinda like Rave and Rush, not ready to watch until they have more
content ;-) btw, i have been a VOOM subscriber since Nov '03. The
stability of the system is now rock solid with the new
software/receiver. Now we just need more channels and more content
on the VOOM originals.

New generation VOOM receivers will have a serial number (SN) that
will start with this sequence :08594741xxxxxxxx
Of these receivers, if the next number in the 16 digit sequence is a
7 or higher, then it will have the Installation Wizard included as
software. Hope this helps.

So, what exactly is new in those receivers, besides the fact that some of them come with version 6.00 pre-installed?

New generation VOOM receivers will have a serial number (SN) that will start with this sequence :08594741xxxxxxxx
Of these receivers, if the next number in the 16 digit sequence is a 7 or higher, then it will have the Installation Wizard included as software.

 

[Robert Heitner]

Better question is if VOOM is sending 6.x out with new receivers, why
haven't they sent the update to existing users on 5.68 and below via the
satellite?
