Hopper S208/S209 Software Release Notes

[Bobby]

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

Press the Menu button twice....

Went from 208 to 209 this morning.

Anyone know why they disabled the green button function?

I think they just deleted the weird channel changing menu. All of the other green button functions are there.

THAT is the function I am talking about. The other "inner' menu ones don't count for this conversation. Why do some ****** need to be so damn picky.

To check the receiver's software version remotely, go to Dishonline.com and click on My Account. Version is shown in the My DISH Receivers section.

I'd have to agree that the channel menu is weird. I found it slower to get to a channel in that menu than using the guide. This could be so much better if they changed a few things:

1) make the main focus of this menu the channel buttons in the grid to the left of the keypad. In fact, remove the keypad completely to make more room for channel shortcut buttons. Use the remote's keypad to access a channel by number.

2) hide the editing functions (cursoring sideways in grid selects the "-" (delete) button) and create an editing mode

3) Remove the channel strip at the top of the menu or at least allow it to be filtered by the current channel list.

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.

Go to dishonline.com and login.

Go to DVR / My Recordings and click on the refresh button (just to make sure the info is up to date*)

Got 208 this morning

 

[GaryPen]

I am hearing its the same as S208 but with one bug fix.

And that bug is...?

 

[John Kotches]

Did the Joey software increment as well, or is it the same rev as S208?
