HBO OnDemand has always been there from day one. It's only recently that they added more content to it.

That may be, but I only recently cared, as I got 3 months of free HBO due to the AMC debacle!
S221 seems to have affected communication with Dish Online and Dish Remote Access. everyday now i need to reboot Hopper in order for Timers, Scheduled, Conflicts, and Skipped to show in either Dish Online or the iDevice apps. PTAT and Recordings do show without reboot required. works until nightly update, then I have to reboot again for those categories to show data.
Just noticed I could not access apps or on-demand screen. Instead of launching, it just goes back to the broadcast screen it was on. Reset fixed it.
I have noticed since S221 (and didn't think anything of it until now) that when I launch the apps menu, it isn't filling up the whole screen. I can still see the picture of whatever tv station was on around the edges of the app "overlay" screen. It isn't frozen either, but full movement going on. Instead of a full menu screen it is presenting as an overlay. Also, when using Pandora, the audio from the TV station is still present until Pandora fully launches (instead of going away as Pandora is loading). When Pandora is quit, audio of the tv station will not return until I change channels.
I have also had to reboot in order to be able to access "my rentals"

You can adjust the screen from the Format TV->Screen Adjustment to cover the edges.
I have 2 hopper and 2 joeys. With s217 my sling adapter was working perfectly. I now have s221 and when I go to dish online,
my receivers show up as connected buy when I try to play a dvr recording or live tv I only get video loading. It never plays the video.
I rebooted the receiver and can now play Dvr recordings but not live tv. Live tv will play on my android but not from dish online.

Now with latest software on both Hoppers and all four Joeys. Still issues with Internet connection via HIC causing Joeys to be unable to find their Hopper. When disconnect Ethernet from HIC, systems returns to being stable. Also, do not like the skip back arrow action. It used to be smooth and effective. Now it takes several tries to get it to skip back.
New day, same issues. Cannot access "my rentals" or on demand without doing a reboot. Every day since S221 hit.
I can't get to DishOnline or Blockbuster @ Home (B@H from either the Menu screen or dedicated button). I could try doing a RBR, as fuzzfacefrombboard did above, but it 's not worth the trouble. I didn't try the other apps, but if they don't work, I might have to do the RBR. For all I know, DishOnline and B@H may have NEVER worked, but I know the other apps did before 221.
No kangaroos last night on Rookie Blue, Rock Center and a few other shows. This is still an almost every night occurrence on one Hopper.
Still seeing the :29 and :59 droupouts but less severe than they were before on S221.

LOL, No, they're easy to get to......I just don't use DishOnline or B@H much.....and it's just not worth waiting for a reboot to see if that works. I was mostly wondering if anyone else is seeing this issue/bug.
