So, does that make it acceptable to release a product that cannot be used? "Just wait, 'soon' you will be enabled."
Would you rather have it in hand, waiting on the SW? Or would you rather have to wait and order it after you get the SW? Id rather have it in hand. You act like what they have done is malicious, which is not true at all.
You folks need to stay away from early ownership of all modern products. Get it after its been out a year or two.

My two hoppers are R188133 and R188144 and were updated this morning at 1:00am.

Honestly I could careless about the OTA part I have one sitting on my dining room table, however I do want the software so I can fiddle with the other parts. I mean who doesn't get excited about them adding new features to your hopper. The thing that's irritating is half the country has it and the other half doesn't. Its like getting a new toy on Christmas without the Batteries.
I agree, but once again, this is the way Dish does things and anyone reading around here knows that. IMO, its smart to slow rollout, than hit everyone at once.
I would have taken it either way, and I happened to get s230 the morning after the dongle arrived. We should not discount the frustrations of those that have the tuner in hand yet cannot use it. I'm sure DISH didn't plan it this way, but it is how it turned out. Also, we shouldn't expect all that post here to read as broadly and to the deapth and significance that you might have.
FYI, I've been on the early bandwagon since '97. I don't regret it one bit.
Thats fair. Im usually an early adopter too, so Im broken in. On the flip side of discounting frustrations, it's one tuner and its for OTA, when people originally got these there was no promise of OTA. I think the frustration my be slightly warranted, but it's def overblown.
I just have to keep laughing though that everyone cares about the dongle. LOL Just this morning I had to explain the dictionary term to my other half what a dongle was LOL. All I want to see is pretty new firmware that's all. EDIT(I mean yes eventually I will fiddle with the OTA but I could never get it to work with my 722 or 922 on a reliable basis so I don't expect it to be some great gift from dish)
Finally got my ota up and running but now I lost my network connection to my other hopper that is connected direct to the internet. Is it because I use a diplexer with my antenna and dish receiver?
Don't think you can diplex with Moca.
I wish i can downgrade the stupid upgrade just stinks!!
Before the upgrade gamefinder was great after the upgrade it a big fat pain. If i stupidly hit the blue key game finer comes up and never goes away..
If I hit the x mark to exit it just re-boots. The only way out is to turn off the receive. Just stupid dish!!!

Are you using the standard Dish remote that came with the receiver or are you on an IR type Harmony remote? If the latter this has been flagged as an issue during our testing and Dish knows about it.
