Any more details on "extended boot" ?

 

[Scott Greczkowski]

Nope thats what they sent to me. I don't know what a lot of it means to be honest with you.

Ya''ll need to pour some out for the 922....

Could it be that the 922 hardware is a piece of --- and dish does not know how to fix it?

 

[samalex]

Our 722 updated last night, but does this bring the menu changes seen on the 722k to the 722? Just curious because most of the content seems to be for a charge. But I'm anxious to see what all else has changed.

 

[kmkohler]

Is the version number for the ViP722 a misprint? I thought the 622 and 722 ran the same software.

Nope, mine shows 670 on my 722, and 629 on my 622.

Funny, you call it a piece of sh*t. That is the nick name I call my 922 . Actually I call it:" buggy piece of sh*t. "

SRS Volume Leveling must be automatic and involuntary, because I cannot find an option for it...

My 622s updated this morning. No SRS for me either.

ViP211/DP411- Software Version L561 - New Features and updates include, Regional outage/004 signal loss fixes, favorites list color change

The last couple of days I've been going crazy trying to find out if my TV was dying . My favorites list color had changed, and I thought one of the projector lenses was going out. The reason for my thoughts was because the color is SOOO ugly-looking that I thought "there is no way that this is a 'feature', obviously something is wrong". The thing is everything else was looking good, and I was just wondering, "well, maybe it's my eyes..."

 

[kstuart]

When you reboot, there is a new Acquiring Signal dialog with five segments that are traversed by a green bar (similar to program guide download), instead of the "2 of 5" style text. It is accompanied by "This should take no more than 5 minutes", but took less than a minute.

Anyone notice no 612 software updates?

Anyone notice no 612 software updates?

Assumed it was the same as the 622, but who knows... Interesting note with the Google TV piece... Are they turning the device into a Google TV, OR just putting in the firmware to support Google TV... Hmmm...

Same here and it was the first thing I looked for when I saw there was a software update.

Just support for the GoogleTV hardware so that it will accept commands and send data back.

Same here and it was the first thing I looked for when I saw there was a software update.

SRS is supposed to be on Audio screen where you select things like Bitstream/PCM and Stereo/Dolby Digital.
