New SW for ViP722 L.721

[ralfyguy]

I got new SW on my 722 last night. It now says L.721. I'm surprised that I'm the first one to post about this as I could not find anything here or on the Dish network Support forum about that. Anything new in this release? I could not tell any difference to L.677 yet.

Only 100K 722 units are getting the software today. The rest are scheduled for Thursday.

In addition to the 722 release today the following upgrades are also going out today and continuings on Thursday.

ViP211K L550
ViP222 L505
Vip722k L689

The 211/411 will get L564 on Friday but only for new installs (and this one is tentative)

No release notes as of yet for any of them.

I hope it fixed deleting streamed/downloaded shows overnight. I got tired of downloading stuff, wanting to watch it the next day, because "streaming" didn't finish for a long time and the next day it was gone. Blocking bandwidth for the entire evening and wasting it in the end.

Does L550 still work with the Tailgater?

 

[CK SatGuy]

It should. The minimum is L499 but it should still work going above that.

Hey Scott, any updates coming for the 612 since it hasn't been updated since March. I have a feeling that at this point, they'll combine the newer menus and the BBMP Streaming all in one big update whenever it's ready. https://rweb.dishnetwork.com/departmental_content/TechPortal/content/tech/softwarelist.asp

Michael S. in a reply on DishSupport http://www.dishsupport.com/get-dish...kbuster-movie-pass-launching-3.html#post17570said that the 612 BBMP rollout was scheduled for Oct 30th.

Hope it fixes the slow dvr and guide responses that started with last update!

Guess I am one of the guinea pigs too. My 722 took the update last night also.

I'm in California and got it. My 722 is usually near the end of a rollout. I don't see anything new yet, but then I have the free-for-a-year Platinum so I won't be eligible for the BB tie-in until February unless I give up the freebie.

Since 721, on BBMP I can't move down a list of movies, each click goes to a new page of movies, nice...

Well it still deletes "streamed" shows overnight, so this renders this part useless for me. whenever I select a show to "stream" it says that it is ready to watch in somewhere between 7-14 minutes. And every time I check back it still says about the same. That goes on until the show is eventually completely downloaded and then it is too late in the evening to watch it. Can't watch it the next day, because it got deleted overnight. What a garbage.

Scott, the list is showing L690 for the 722k to be released tomorrow. https://rweb.dishnetwork.com/departmental_content/TechPortal/content/tech/softwarelist.asp

Nice. Do you mean l689 for 722k. Wonder what epg udates are

 

[CK SatGuy]

It doesn't look like there will be a L689 for the 722k. Dishsupport.com is saying L690 and so is the SW list saying it'll be released tomorrow (10/13/11). https://rweb.dishnetwork.com/departmental_content/TechPortal/content/tech/softwarelist.asp
