Correct, to get an update, all connected devices H3 and Joey's must all be in standby mode for about/at least/around/somewhere an hour or so. If 1 Joey is not in standby then the updates will not occur.
To compound the problem, the Joey's come set to NEVER go into standby. That's the first thing you have to change on all you Joey's and the Hopper. Allow them to go into standby so sometime at night all will be asleep.
I almost missed this - did you say that DISH has pulled the U303 that many of us are using? Too many bugs?
what i heard the latest software was pulled with what is going on with the netlifx app and maybe it had to many bugs also
The bugs are certainly piling up - way more than just a few "inconsequentials"
Is Stopped meaning the same thing as pulled? Meaning there might be problems with it. I turned standby inactivity off on my H3 and I was U301 until I decided to manually put the H3 in standby a few days ago when it updated to U303.
If it was really bad, they would revert your software to a previous version. It's happened only a couple of times in the 10 years I've been with Dish.
I'm totally confused on standby vs turning off the receivers. Should the receivers be left on always and set to go into standby? In the past I've always turned them off at night and never thought about it. Also how do you manually put one in standby?
Push the power button on the remote to put it in standby. If the screensaver is on, it's in standby.
You can't turn them "off" unless you pull the power cord.

What Hall said. In the pre-Hopper 3, the box would goto standby at around 1:00AM-1:30AM even if you have the standby disabled in the settings. The H3 doesn't go into standby on it's own anymore unless it's in settings.
I was in the same exact situation until I read that the joey's don't go into standby by default anymore. So I went to all 3 of my Joey's and set them to go into standby after 2 hours of no use. That next morning I checked and I had received U303 at midnight. Which was about 2 hours after everyone went to bed. So it does appear you will not get an update unless everything connected is in standby.
