Does that mean they found a bug in 520 and now we will get 521 or did you find a bug in your predictions.

Probably isn't too bad, since no one from here reported anything significant. And I don't have it yet, either as if this AM.
We've seen Dish put out 2-3 updates, quickly after the other, yet users here never reported anything "bad". Before we rec'd S517, this was the case (people rec'd S512, S513, and S514 or something like that). Dish can find problems internally that might be pretty rare to happen in the real world, but can, so it's best to take care of them...
Maybe it was just a coincidence but right around the same time my HWS took the S520 update, I had a hard drive failure.
Dish sent me a replacement and I swapped it out yesterday. All is good with the new unit after it took the S520 update.

I hate this update! I turned on my receiver on the morning of 4/20, and the message popped up "Netflix is now available on channel 370" I looked there is no channel 370, I press the blue button on my receiver nothing happens. I go to Menus, there is no longer ANY APPS. Not even the weather app which I usually checked every morning. I have been waiting to see if there is a fix or a new update to fix it. I have pressed the red reboot button several times, even unhooked the system and left without power for 10 minutes. Nothing changes. I want my apps back. Anyone have any suggestions on how to get them back?
I have S517 on one HWS and it has the VEVO App. The other HWS has S520 and has lost the VEVO app.
Been S520 since 4/16. No Vevo app either by blue button or in apps folder. I wonder if this contributed to the reasons the rollout was halted.
Interesting....same thing happened to me. Hard drive failed after I got 520. Replaced it Friday. But it got 520 again that night.
Must be just a bit slower rollout than normal - finally got S520 last night. No problems noted, only obvious change is Netflix available on Joeys.
I got the update last night.. woke up this morning to my internet just completely down due to IP conflict issues. Here we go again! At first it appeared to be one computer that showed the error but then I saw the hoppers updated and saw the conflict originated with them. So has anyone seen this issue? Do keep in mind that this may or may not happen with the everyday person as I run a network of about 20 different devices in the house ranging from IP cameras to 4 computers, servers, tablets etc...
Don't think the S520 changes the Hopper to use a static IP address (to one that by chance is already assigned by your router...
