I'm curious what the other receiver models' new software version numbers are. Since Wally software now starts with W, and Hopper software now starts with H, do the Joey software versions now start with J? (Nah, that would make too much sense.)
The Joeys do, indeed, start with a J!
As of last night, they weren't updated. But they are this morning

Caught the number this morning, 015A. And it's funny because most of the time I will hear audio from the channel I'm tuned to while this message is displayed
I can only guess, but maybe there were enough problems with W501 that Dish pulled it from release. Or since the W501 rollout was always a staggered rollout, it could just be that they have not gotten around to the wave that includes your Wally yet. Either way, it would seem that the other older versions (but newer than the version you have) are no longer spooling on the satellite signal, either. So, try waiting overnight, and see if your Wally gets W501 on its own. If not, then you may have to wait until W502 (or whatever the next public software version will be) in order to update your Wally.
Thanks. I will do that. I did connect the OTA adapter in addition to the wifi adapter, and those worked, but then my sat signal was lost. I moved the Playmaker and re-acquired. Maybe Wally knew the sat signal was somewhat unsat and therefore refused to risk doing an update.
She has a (former) Beta-tester Wally. It still gets public software releases about a week before they are actually released to the general public. So, that is the only model I can actually check. Dish usually releases a new version for every Wally and Hopper model around the same time, though.
It will be interesting to find out what gets broken in this upcoming release.My sister just let me know that she received W505 for her Wally tonight. (5/10/2021) If the pattern of software updates holds true, everyone else should expect a software update starting next week.
I suspect that if that comes back, it will be mislabeled. So, it will act as 4X, but still say 15X on screen.
