OK, woke up this morning and the Blockbuster @ Home tile is gone from the main menu of my 922. I can still access BB@H, but only as a submenu of "On Demand". Same end results, but I liked it better yesterday, when Blockbuster had its own button. Software still shows S117. Also, my Home Media / DLNA menu is broken, when I select it all I get is a black screen with an unresponsive yellow pointer in the middle of it.
Will 922 Ever Get Blockbuster At Home

I still have the Blockbuster @ Home tile, but getting the same home media result.
I could see DISH adding another "whole home "system option with the 922&211k.
If I did not want to pay the $10. DVR fee for the 922 I would have stayed with my 722k.

That's not possible. Neither of those receivers have MoCA tech. Doing that would just confuse people.

That is true,but the 922&211k are both DishComm capable.
That disappearing act is reminiscent of the BBMP arrival on my 722. First the firmware arrived. Then the following day the BBMP menu item appeared to replace the PlatinumHD menu item. Then after a week or so it went back to PlatinumHD, and finally it stuck on BBMP.
I just posted a list of problems I've noticed on my 922 since the update, you might not be in a big hurry.
I have no idea how Dish determines who to update and when, but I do know that not eveyone gets updated at the same time. I was first on the list this time, but have been last before. It's your choice to cancel if you want, but it shouldn't be over this.
Don't know if it's coincidence, but when I first heard reports on this forum last week of S117 with BB@H apparently coming to the 922, I soft rebooted mine when I got home from work. The new software didn't spool after the receiver rebooted obviously, but showed up the following morning (after the nightly 3 am update, I guess.) Like I said, most likely pure coincidence, but it can't hurt to try.
Do you have Blockbuster@Home on your account?.I do and I still don't have the update,but I have 22 more channels in my guide I can watch and I can order DVDs online,just can't stream from Blockbuster until I get the update.
I have heard it all depends what number your receiver is and which lot of numbers DISH decides to update and when,hang it there you'll get it,it's coming.
Because Dish has mandated that you not mix standard receivers and Hopper/Joey. So no thanks. I was looking to upgrade to the hopper, but with that policy no thanks. 922 it will be!
Still stuck on S116, but I can wait. I have been waiting this long why not a bit more. At least it's coming.
