Hopper with Sling Softwave Version S520 Update is Here

[charlesrshell]

New Software Version S520 for Hopper with Sling has arrived. Hope we have some more goodies and fixes.

Update indicated Netflix is now available on the Joey.

Looks like this update "bricked" one of my HWSs.
Unit displays "press SELECT to watch TV" message but is non-responsive to remote or front panel pushbuttons (except for front panel RESET).
Message remains displayed for several minutes and then the unit will reboot and then gets back to the same message with the same non-responsive problem.
The unit continuously repeats the same reboot cycle.
Other HWS is operating normally with the update.
Removed and restored power on both HWSs and a Joey with the same results.
Swapped the HWS cables on the duo-node with the same result.
Guess I'll be contacting DIRT for a replacement.

Replacement unit on its way
Big thanks to JasonS on the DIRT team

Thanks for the warning. I'll be sure to not do the update anytime soon. OH, WAIT!

You'll do it when Charlie says "DO IT!"

 

[david_jr]

You will do it, you will like it, and you will say THANK YOU!!! Charlie does and does and does for you and this is the thanks he gets?!? Next you'll be complaining about a 7 day wait for Auto Hop on CBS! Oh, wait, that was me. Sorry disregard.

I think the OTA Start Early / End Late timer issue is working now. Anybody else try it out?

That would be GREAT news!

Yep, for sure. At least the timers Start Early / End Late times read correct. I have a couple of test OTA timers scheduled to see if they actually fire off early and end late.

Agree that would be great! Because of it, I've switched most timers to the DISH channels, but some, especially on Sundays, are setup via OTA. I'll keep an eye on it. Didn't have 520 as of yesterday.

Hopper with sling that I have along with the super Joey has not gotten an update yet for the software

 

[Bobby]

It may take some time. Updates don't go global to everybody at the same time. Be patient....

It worked correctly in my quick test.

Now if only they'd fix the HDMI CEC feature for OFF. That broke a long time ago with some update. ON works, but not OFF.

That did not "break". There were numerous complaints from people who wanted to turn off the TV without putting the receiver in standby so they could continue to listen to the music channels through their AV receivers. I, for one, agree with it.

So how about a choice on that? The one TV I use that on is a stand-alone.

I don't think OFF for HDMI CEC never has worked (at least for me) since the feature was added.

Well, your choice is, leave it on or push one more button to turn it off.
