[yooper.mi]

I have new software (p363) on one of two working 508 receivers.

Notice any changes, new bugs????

 

[yooper.mi]

Have not noticed anything yet.

Here is what I have for this software. Its in limited rollout and is a fix for Announcements Resets.

I have no idea what that means.

Congrats on 4000 goailebob: thinking of going to Chiles for lunch (have to check my 501 for software version)

Scott, there is other one rollout ( hidden) for 501+; can you check it with your source ? Very small and do not changing version number.
PID:0866h, ID:6ASD, FW:04SF, ModelVR501/508/510.

Current scoop:
PID:086Bh, ID:6BSD, FW363, ModelVR501/508/510. [34318841-36769987, 40309988-53573987, 60391988-63599987]

501 and 508 are the same software.

The other one the 04SF looks like a beta.

 

[Smith P.]

NO, that is NOT a beta . Many ppl reported about the strange update.

 

[dfergie]

Merged...

 

[Scott Greczkowski]

I dont have that revision in my notes. I know that the 363 software went out to 100k boxes yesterday, and today its going out to 500k more.

 

[Smith P.]

It is not a revision of generally speaking software, it's something . Piece of code less then 8 KB.

 

[goaliebob99]

hummmm wondering if this is a peace of code to change the way the dvr works?? maybe to not infringe on tivos patent?? just throwing things out in the air..

 

[Smith P.]

That's why I asked Scott to vent it out .

It may be the fix for the discrete-on problem. I'd have to verify in the morning after the DOD updates tonight, but my "power on" macro that contains the discrete-on appears to be working again. Before, the macro would fire everything in the system except powering up the 508 or 510. I had to push the toggle power button to get it to turn on.

 

[mattardo]

THER'S A DISCRETE POWER ON CODE NOW?!?! Forgive me, but what is this glorious code? And if it's the system info thingie...bah.

 

[jetskier]

Well, as I suspected, this update didn't fix the discrete-on problem after the overnight updates. It starts to work once you do the initial power on toggle. I tried many cycles of discrete on/off and they both responded. I still don't get the old Dish logo when it goes to sleeps. That died a long time ago when they rolled out the P3.08 or 3.09. Stupid DOD.
