Early DST and EPG information

[dogpoobob]

I overheard a conversation this morning that the satellite providers are unprepared for the early start of DST this year and that the EPG will be incorrect on 3/11. Is there any truth to that? I can't see how it would be a problem, but who knows?

Not a problem, most all of the Dish Receivers out there have already got the software needed to handle this change. The only one which has not got the update that I know of is the 622 and that should be coming this week.

Thank you, Scott.

721?

Does this include the 721? I haven't seen much activity in updates for it lately..

I was just about to mention that the 721 had not been updated lately...
I'm not convinced however that the software has to be changed - I'm pretty sure that back when the 501 was the "flagship" that they just shifted the EPG back and forth without using the s/w itself.
