WJ, after the posts I've seen over on the Voom Forum in response to your posts, I can understand your tone.WJMorales said:
Have no fear; I just wondered if you had seen something that I hadn't. I can't spend all my free time on the satellite boards (despite what my wife thinks!) and there may be other areas I don't visit, like newgroups, where other opinions are being voiced.
(I think it was THE SHOUTING
about the BUGS that did it...)
Thanks for the support Foxbat. I had no intention of ruffling anyones feathers on this this thread or any other thread. I acutualy thoughts the coments posted, to be very funny. Voom getting hit by flying space rock.
We all contribute to making this site what it is today, it does not matter if you just joined or have been around for years. I don't believe that because you have a zillion post that you have the right to go around telling other members to zip it. The greatness of sites like this is that you can post whatever information you want. In the end, other members will learn to either trust you or not to trust you.
Once again, I apologize to everyone who took my comments out of contexts. I have no intentions of posting misleading information or to bash other members. Now back to the subject of this thread.
I noticed that according to the Dish Network Software Page 2.87 is now spooling, 2.85 has moved to the previous column. Over at the other site they have also posted some information about 2.87.

WJ,
Just for the record. My post was to clarify that 285 was not bug ridden. Since I was one of the few that actually got it, I thought I would chime in before the people started to run with your post to give my impression of 285. You did draw a conclusion of 285 which from my experience was not correct. The reason I capped BUGS was because you had that is all. I was not yellling. Sorry if it was taken that way. All is good and now the fun begins seeing what 287 has in store for us.

You point well taken friend. I would like to know why 2.85 got ditched for 2.87. I love to know the details.
I think people who got 2.85 were guinnea pigs for the 287
Kinda like the folks that got 282 (i think that's the number) were guinnea pigs and got screwed by the update, they stopped that one and some folks never got that update that update either.
I guess the only diff is nothing was wrong with 285 this time

That we know of! Dish could have had a problem spooling it or something, who knows. Thanks to the few that did get it it sounds like the software itself wasn't the problem, but it could have been something else.
Saturday morning I got version 287!!
The DL iteself acted just like every other receiver's initial setup:
"Your receiver is retreiving vital information, do not unplug your receiver"
Hopefully, it WILL act as good as 285 has been the past several months.

still with 284 as of last night...i got my 811 last fall, but it always seems im last to get any updates.
Happy Birthday, 811! Firmware is downloading as I typeFoxbat said:My 811 is now a year old. Wouldn't P2.87 make a nice birthday present?
Maybe Dish has adopted Redmond's update schedule, I spent all morning applying critical updates to my Windows boxes. When I was done, there's the 811 getting in the spirit of things, telling me "Vital program information will now be downloaded..."
