Hopper with Sling Upgraded to S512

[VegasVoomer]

I'm still on S506 here.

My Hopper w/Sling was updated last nite around 1:30AM from S512 to S514. Haven't noticed anything different. The only things I noticed in 512 were the record icon showing in the info banner even when no recording is going on and after viewing a recording on our other Hopper it took pressing Stop twice to actually exit the recording. Haven't really had a chance to check if either of those are fixed.

Kinda odd, people complain about too many channels, and they want more added? If anything I would think DISH is tightening up with all the deals going on, and the FCC reviews etc

You can please part of the people part of the time, but you cannot please all the people all the time.

Obviously spoken by someone who already has the latest update and just wants to rub it in. Thanks!

 

[Stargazer]

I do not have the latest update.

One of mine went to 514 yesterday.

Still on S506 on my hopper and I made sure that there were no timers during the night to conflict with the update.

Still on S506 here too. Will next week bring us into the fold or will there be a siting of S516!

What really irritates is that our secondary H2K got the update like 2 or 3 weeks ago... And our primary HwS still no love(506).

Still on S506, 12 hrs and 12 minutes till the end of the week no matter how you look at it.

Why cant Hoppers connected to the internet just autodownload and update without all this drama?
My cell phone and kindles updates so much easier.

It would be cool if DISH would allow software updates over the internet. They could announce the new update online and then you could easily update your receiver when YOU wanted to instead of waiting for the update over the satellite. Even Directv would allow you on Friday and Saturday nights at a certain time , you could update to the newest cutting edge software over the satellite. Even that would be better than waiting.

End of the week and still on S506. Bummer... no S512 or S514 yet

Anyone know just how big an update can be? Kilobytes, Megabytes or ?? I suspect Dish prefers to have total control over how and when it delivers. Delivery over the internet has its own perils from bandwidth to your home network configuration. Have a glitch, brick a receiver and Dish can say sorry it wasn't us. I like the internet delivery idea too but I wonder how many outside of the circle of enthusiasts care.

Well, I trust Apple and Microsoft to update my stuff over the internet, but they have a LOT of experience. Still have some failed updates though. I have never experienced those updates that exploded on users, fortunately.

Patience is a virtue.... Good thing the receivers (mine included) still work on the old, obsolete, crippled software !

 

[navychop]

"...still work" for the most part.
