Have they ever done that ? If they did, what does that say about their "testers" ?
I haven't ran across anything really "broken", just mainly poorly done UI (flashing outline on the highlighted item in the DVR menu ?), poor-quality graphics, etc.

Read this thread, and this one we are posting in. And this one. AND this one. AND this one. Lot's broken. More yet to be discovered, no doubt.
I noticed a couple weeks ago I had an episode of something called "White Collar Brawlers" on the dvr. Didn't think much of it, figured the kids may have recorded it. This past week, same thing. Hmmm. Asked kids, nope, wasn't them. Flipping through my timers revealed nothing. Then it dawned on me, we record "White Collar" only new episodes on USA, and I believe that for some reason HWS now thinks they are the same show. Never happened before, so my guess it it's a software bug related to S328. Not really a big deal, but kind of amusing.
Is it a regular timer selected from the guide or did you set a seek & record timer?
Just shaking my head over this release. I've got to believe DirecTV is just rolling over laughing at the mess. Must of been one hell of a Crack party at Dish when this release was blessed...
Unless you specifically ask for exact match, then any substring that matches is taken.
Look out for those that differ in a THE or OF of even a space.
So, I guess, this is not one you can blame on S328.

Speaking from plenty of experience with both providers, Directv shouldn't be laughing about anything. They use monkeys as software engineers.
I'd bet they are!
Well from reading this post at "the other site" I guess it is possible that the software team is reading here too.

Looks like Darlene has been a member there since 2007.
Most of the issues, including the ones you linked to threads, are UI-related. Two of your links are DVR playback issues that are probably related. As for the external HDD issue, until 30 minutes ago, only one person has mentioned running into it.
Mind you, I'm not defending Dish or this update. The UI changes are the ones that I see and dislike the more I see them.... Are these changes considered "better" or improvements over the previous UI ? Obviously Dish thinks so !
I think I'll ask my wife and kids what they think for a non-geek opinion.
I've also responded to a few posts from other agravated Dish customers on the Dish support forum referencing the great information and observations here on this forum. Hopefully there have been some Dish eyeballs on those posts as well.
I just posted on the other 238 thread. As I reported days ago, my EHD has not been recognized by the Hopper despite numerous hard and soft rests, EHD USB and power plug ins and outs. Enough is enough, DIRT team. We need these issues fixed. Please
As I posted in the other thread, my EHD reappeared tonight. And BTW, I had requested a "hit" (re-authorization?) as one of the first things.
Someone in S418 reported the S for saved series in PTAT had returned without a new update. I just checked my HWS and no S icons in PTAT for me.
After you save a PTAT show press the info button on your remote and you will see the S.
Yep, beats me why they changed it. I hope they put it back on the tile sometime.
