Update Pulled

[Partysox]

You can access your EHD with this version you have to go into menu-dvr-sources-click EHD.You can play downloads from your EHD without transferring them back to the HWS.Is that new or could you do that before?

You won't find sources until you turn on EHD and mate it to HWS..

I'll post this in the "issues" thread but will ask here first:

When you are in the "Schedule" screen, scroll through the events.

How do you get out of that list? What if you want to go back to the Recordings, Timers, etc? Am I missing something? Hitting Cancel works but takes you back to Live TV or your DVR playback.

Try the skip ahead and skip back buttons.

Hit DVR and it will take you back to recordings

Okay, those both work. Not intuitive at all though.... Especially the skip ahead/back buttons. Did you hit those on accident and discover that?

Dish is moving more functions to those buttons. If you hit the # button in menus it will give you tips on how to do things in that screen.

This might be a dumb question but based of the previous post about the H2K not updating the beta UI,
So does that mean the H2K isn't going to get the new UI?

That might be a reasonable conclusion...

 

[Rixos]

I would laugh hard ( or cry hard ) if they revert us back to old ui again tonight!!! Tease us again...

 

[gbertler]

I don't think that the new UI is priority for the first gen Hopper since it isn't compatible with the 4k Joey. At least from what I saw on the internet. So maybe that is why there isn't a version out yet for that series.

 

[Partysox]

Well its 1:45 AM no nightly update so far it usually happens by now.

The original Hopper isn't getting the new UI (yet). Remember, the 4K Joey needs the new s/w available on the Hopper it's attached to and if a customer has an original Hopper, it will be replaced with a Hopper w/Sling, force the update if it's not already installed, then install the 4K Joey.

Nightly reboot happened at 3:30 am for me.

Not at this time. It may in the future.

they better update the H1 otherwise there will be some unhappy customers that have both a H1 & H2 that won't see each others recordings

 

[Hall]

Average customer really won't care... Those that do will call and Dish can swap the Hopper 1 for a 2.

Would I be in trouble for asking how to force the download?

 

[Patrick Smith]

Go to menu settings, diagnostics, updates then press play play recall. The hopper will reboot and go to the standby screen. Don't touch anything. Wait for it to reboot again then your download will start. Make sure all joeys are off and that nothing is going to record.

I was told to unplug the Joey(s) the first time this update method came out and did it that way. Many didn't and it worked fine.... I think the reason for saying to unplug it is so that no one can use it while the Hopper is updating, which would interrupt the update. Or more likely, the Joey would be non-functioning anyway as it relies on the Hopper to function anyway.

This time, I left it plugged in and on and had no problem. After the Hopper was done, I went to the Joey and rebooted it through the Diagnostics menu and walked away. Looked at it an hour or two later and it was running the new UI.
