when did s221 come out ?

[dmigut]

Ok, so I"m watching tv on my hopper here at 1:40 in the morning. Picture goes blank, hopper tries to start up a few times but to no avail. I'm too tired to get up so I just lay in bed and observe. A screen comes up mentioning important updates and the green download bar loads. Then a screen comes up saying programming your memory, do not turn off or unplug. I"m thinking crap, the box is being reset or something. After a bit, hopper starts back up in an agonizing process, whole ordeal took about 15 minutes. First thing I do is check my dvr recordings, whew, all there. Then I checked the software version and it says s221. My living room hopper is still s217. What are we expecting with s221 ?

Hopefully this means that S221/S271 will be rolling out to everyone soon.

I'm not on any beta or test group that I'm aware of, but my install was in the first week of availability.

s221 is here. No idea yet, what features/fixes it offers.

Same here -- one Hopper picked up S221, the other is on S217.

My hopper picked up s221 last night..

Got the update. I noticed on the joey that the jump foward/reverse seems to be fixed. Also noticed that when you go to the apps screen or an app itself you get a fancy Walmart logo loading icon now.

S221 I didn't remember the bluetooth icon on the settings menu. I thought it said bluetooth headphones or something before. It's still not functional.

well fireman17 i don't know what S221 has i checked the support forums and it isn't listed maybe someone from DIRT or Kate the software release notes person can tell me when it happened.

 

[sparc]

probably just bug fixes for stuff that showed up on s213 and later releases.

 

[Poke]

Hmm yeah I will have to check but keep us posted as you get the S221 and post what changes you have seen and if any issues that have been fixed..

 

[MikeD-C05]

Still at 217 and holding..............

 

[Rinker97]

Just checked Dish Online and both of my hoppers are still at S217.

..... What are we expecting with s221 ?

Stability. And nothing else. All in all, a good deal. First went out to some Dish employees, who posted here.

 

[dangue]

Received 221 here, but no obvious changes thus far.

 

[Scott Greczkowski]

S221 on one box and S117 on the other.

As far as I know it contains only stability fixes.

My original Hopper was like that. Installed on Day Three of the original release in March. Always got the first rollout of each new SW release. Then, swapped out my Hopper for a new one, and now get SW updates approx a week after they first rollout. The sad thing is I probably didn't need to swap the Hopper, and also deal with transferring recordings, and recreating timers, locks, and favorites, as it was probably just SW issues, anyway.

I miss those days of getting SW updates on day one.

They really need a way to identify the multiple Hopper accounts so that all Hoppers are updated at the same time.

They are really asking for more trouble by having households with Hoppers with different SW versions trying to work together.

It certainly would seem so.
