Received software version U506 on my 2 Hopper3 receivers

[Cypresstree]

Not sure if I have U506 yet, (Is there a way to check remotely via Dish Anywhere?) but I had trouble watching in-progress recordings last night. It took a couple of tries to get it to start from the beginning.

Dish anywhere> More> Settings> Live TV &DVR> Receiver

Yep U506.

In the past, Dish Anywhere could take a while (days or longer) to refresh the s/w version but that doesn't seem to be the case anymore. Our receiver was updated to U506 (yesterday ?) and DA shows that same version.

Still U503 here.

December 2017 Software Update!12/12 5:58p
As part of the continuing improvement of DISH products, receiver software updates are periodically released. Beginning 12/13/17, a new software version will be deployed to all Hopper models and Wally.

The updated software will deploy to new and existing installations for Hopper 3, Hopper w/ Sling, and Wally...

December software release details

• Support for Joey 3

...

Benefit: The new software update will support Joey 3 models and improve system reliability.

Does this mean that the Wally will support Joey 3?

It wasn't that long ago I set a time for the basketball game recently. Is it coming back. Why can we not have a 4K 24/7 channel like we used to get when we got HDTV in the beginning?

Add my vote for the 4K Fish Tank Channel!

What is a Joey 3? is that the wireless joey, or the 4K joey?

From what I hear, neither. It hasn’t been released yet but I’ve heard that it is a wired Joey that is more advanced than the Joeys 1 and 2.

Not sure on DA, but if you hit the Home button 3 times on a 52/54 remote or twice on a 40 remote to get to the Diagnostics screen, you can see the software version and when it downloaded.

Edit: Looks like that was answered

3rd morning in a row without having to rescan ota.

My only hope is future updates don't break it.

What is the latest software version for the 4KJ?

I remember the good old days when we would all wait for the new receivers coming out and got excited about what they could do . Now we sit and wait for software updates. It’s like watching paint dry .

Okay, while we are at it, what is the newest software version for the Wally? I think I know the answer, but I want to make sure.

I like to touch the wet paint.

The bedroom 54 remote did that yesterday. Used the same solution.

I don't know if it's the latest or not but mine shows 483 on 11/17/17 and I downloaded 506 on the Hopper a couple of days ago.

Thanks. That is what I am showing too. I forced the U506 to both my H3s. My two WJs updated to U284 but my two 4KJs or still on U483.
