Hopper S208/S209 Software Release Notes

[JM42]

they're really waiting on this one before it rolls out to everyone. Wonder if there are some problems.

Not all that long yet, it's only been around for three days. If I were them I'd probaby track it at least a week or so before going wide.

I just got off the ship and was able to connect to my hopper via Slingbox and I am still on S207 myself.

How are you able to tell using sling Scott???

 

[Scott Greczkowski]

I not only have a Dish Sling Adapter hooked to my Hopper but I also have a Slingbox Pro HD hooked to it so that I can fully control it, see the menus guide etc.

I actually prefer watching it via the stand alone Slingbox then I can watch it on anything without using the horrible Dishonline website. Plus the pq is a lot better to.

I was wondering that, I went to Dish Remote Access (DRA), Preferences, the software number is visible on the right.

Anyone that has HDMI issues (pink/purple, no sound) gotten 208 yet? If so, is it fixed?

Here's a bug that I found:





Sorry for the blurry pictures...but you can see the bug. Since all 3 of those timers PTAT started before the 4th, (ie. programs that started before but ended during the PT block) they are shown in the Tuner switching menu while the 4th network, which started its PT schedule later, was omitted. The tuners are still recording, so this is just a simple display error.

Looks like s208 fixes more than what's on the list from Scott...

An example:

• Hopper freezes up and requires reboot
• PTAT stuck on enable

Both of my units are still on s207 - they can send s208 along any old time & sooner is better!

 

[Centex]

Mine is still on S207, but it has Pandora.

How can I tell if S208 (or any future upgrades for that matter) has been download to my Hopper? Is there some screen in settings/system info where that information is available?

 

[mdavej]

Press Menu twice on the remote or System Info once on the front panel.

is there a corresponding joey release or is this hopper only?

Anyone else get the s209 update?

One of my receivers updated to s209 last night. The other one is still at s207.

Interesting. They must have found some bugs in S208 and decided to fix them before rolling out the new version to everyone. That would explain why the S208 update has not been pushed to everyone yet.

Well, they snuck that one past!! First I've heard of S209.

 

[John Kotches]

that certainly would explain why s208 was so slow to roll out

Hopefully SG will get release notes soon.

Still on 207 this morning.

 

[Hall]

If 208 was a limited rollout and 209 was quickly pushed like this, you can be certain it is limited to the same, if not lower, number of receivers.

 

[Scott Greczkowski]

Still on S207 here.
