Thanks. Was a member long ago and use the site for answers to technical help a lot. Been a sat tech for 18 years. I just updated to the hopper 3... Kind of buggy. I'm hoping the voice remote isn't.Oh, and Welcome to the Forum.
It will be a little buggy as your receiver does not have the current software for the voice remote on it... but it will get there sooner or later.
Interesting ...... especially in light of Scott's "Beta Test" thread opened (and closed) in the past couple of days......
Can't wait to get this last install done and get how and play with it. I never considered that the receivers software might not be up to date enough to handle it. Ugh!!!It will be a little buggy as your receiver does not have the current software for the voice remote on it... but it will get there sooner or later.
Rem
Remote downloaded new firmware on pairing. Works perfectly. The touchpad will take a little getting used to as its a little touchy. The voice portion worked flawlessly. I really like the backlight feature too. So far so good.
That's good to hear. I was under the impression the hopper 3 required software not just the 50.0
It must've already been included in an update. It's not simply using the remote either, it recognizes that it's a 50 remote after firmware. (Unknown prior). It also recognizes the remote being used. I re-paired 52.0 remote (both are paired). If I use the search feature with the 50 it tells me to hold and press the microphone button for voice search. If I do the same with the 52 it doesn't. I am impressed so far.
Does anyone know what receivers this is comparable with? I am wondering if I can just it with a 2.0 joey (I have a hopper 3 as well as wireless joeys)? I will be getting this as soon as I possibly can. CC ready if I don't get into the beta.
The educated guess would be H3 only for a while and MAYBE (maybe not) joey's later on.
Awesome - I've been waiting for a backlight since I left the "other guys" :
Supposively its suppose to work for Joeys: http://lv.echostar.tv/~/media/8FDB50D9DF834E559B61802BB5556370.ashx
