Hopper S208/S209 Software Release Notes

[n0qcu]

Got S209 on one of my Hoppers never did get S208.

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

That's the app version.

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.

Not necessarily. They have had a limited "xxx" release followed relatively quickly by an "xxx+1" general release several times in the past. It's not an uncommon software practice that "xxx" is the test release and "xxx+1" is considered the production release with little or no changes.

I got 209 here last night as well.

It is my understanding that these notes apply to S209 but with a bug fix for something found in S208.

Can you folks that got S209 tell what's changed?

Huh.......?
I think the question was, how to check it remotely.....is that not correct?

Odd, since many of us are still on S2.07? or so it seems.

 

[Scott Greczkowski]

S208 only went out to less then 5000 units as a test.

They must have seen something in S208 that caused them to halt the S208 rollout, fix the issue and send out S209.

Can you folks that got S209 tell what's changed?

I can confirm 1TB of drive space. All I checked before leaving this morning.

Hey guys,

Just out of curiosity, is there a way to force the update?


Thanks,
Will

And safe to say it's an "oh crap, we have to fix that NOW!" bug too !

it's limited to a certain number until Dish decides it's safe to release to everyone. Just have to wait.

 

[n0qcu]

Anyone know why they disabled the green button function?

 

[JPhil]

I received S209 this morning. Never saw S208.

 

[sooner-t]

Sorry, Newbee. How do I you find out what software version you have?

Yes. That was the question. You said it was on the right in preference section of DRA. I checked that and all I see is the DRA SW version. I think Scott said he used his Sling Box HD to navigate his Hopper menu to see his SW version.
