3900 vs. 4900 - new software, menu choices, etc

[Darkman]

the new 3900s and 4900s software is now finalized (according to Dishnet's software upgrade page: http://www.dishnetwork.com/content/customerCare/technical/software_versions/index.asp

So today my 3900 and 4900 - both took the new versions...
P1.92 for 3900 and P1.79 for 4900...

Do not see SuperDish install on the Install Menu, and not sure what really new in this version (hopefully some bugs fixes)

But have couple of questions:

I noticed on both IRDs at Secondary Audio (i think) - so many other Languages.. - English, French, Spanish, Chinese, etc, etc...
Was it always so many other language options available?
(never really paid much attention at those) - Or this maybe was just added with new software?

another question:
I noticed on the Install menu of 3900, option for 129 bird install, and 5 birds - 119, 110, 61.5, 148, 129 on the left side (vertically)...

However at 4900s (ex 4700 - upgraded) Install menu - no 129 Install option, and only 4 birds on the left side (vertically) - no 129 bird...
I know 129 might be finished soon - they moving as we speak Philadelphia Subscribers over to 61.5....
But still wondering - was it always like that (4900/4700 software missing 129 on install menu) or is it just me? Or was 129 maybe just taken off NOW with this new software upgrade?
But then if so - why wasn't 3900's 129 option taken off too from the install menu?

LOL

Darkman,

I have the same thing on my 4900, no 129 install option. That confirms what you observed on the upgrade on 1.79. No option for the Superdish yet.

Dishlover - was there 129 option of install menu of previous 1.78 or earlier?

or Anyone else who hasn't taken new 1.79 yet?

Thanks

hmm - if 4900s didn't have 129 on Install menu in earlier versions neither - What about Philadelphia subscribers then before vs. 129?
What if they wanted to go to Install Menu - to see signal meter lets say for 129? - hmmm

Someone said somewhere else:

"I got the new update to 1.79 on my 4900. Only thing I noticed it is they removed 129╟ on the Install menu, looks like they are completing the move of Philly locals to 61.5╟. No option for the superdish on this update yet."

ya - but why haven't they removed 129 install option from 3900's newest p1.92 (that officially rolled out today as well)
