The Super Diagnostics feature is available on some DISH 301 receivers.

I remember when the PrimeStar receivers had signal loss data built into them.

Will the signal loss data be given for every satellite that is connected to the receiver? Will it give the time of day that the signal is lost and how long the signal was lost? Doing these things could help determine such issues as people having issues with the 105 satellite to see if there are patterns.

So does this mean people with 2.01 will not get the upgrade? bummer.

 

[Scott Greczkowski]

The upgrade is coming. Its in small roll out (psuedo beta) now.

Yeah, the Super Diagnostics looks cool and all, but more importantly, they updated the copyright date! Yay!

I thought all Dish receivers were perpetually in "pseudo-beta".

 

[Stargazer]

Yeah just different phases, as in several different beta tests all at once.
