FyreTV Beta Rollout Release Notes

[Scott Greczkowski]

Tonight I got two things, one was an update of my Alpha Box to the new Beta Software.

THE FIRST BETA UNITS TO MEMBERS WILL BEGIN SHIPPING SOON!

In addition to getting the Beta Software (which I just got few minutes ago) I was also given the Beta Software Release Notes and was given permission to post them here to SatelliteGuys.US.

So here you go!

The FyreTV Boxxx and service has been in development for the last two years. The features, limitations and issues addressed below illustrate the past complications of creating a user-friendly product from a newly emerging technology and the future direction of FyreTV. We are constantly adapting the FyreTV product to what we believe will be the future needs and wants of our customer.

Please keep in mind that we are currently in the BETA testing stage of our product & service.

Are the beta boxes shipping yet?

 

[tigerfan33]

Was my name on that beta list?

 

[goaliebob99]

YAY! Hopefully these badboys will be shipping soon!

 

[Scott Greczkowski]

Not yet, the beta code was just finished TONIGHT, they now need to load them on each box and then after that they can ship them out.

So I hate to use the SOON word, but it REALLY looks like SOON.

I have been going through the menus since getting the beta code and there are some nice improvements. I hopefully will be able to test it out better this weekend.
