To those of you who have not received the upgrade yet, and you think you should have by now, try this trick.
Go to the Sat signal screen by pressing Menu, 6,1,1.
Next, select the Sat @ 119 and change the transponder to #19.
If your signal bar is green, go ahead and turn off you receiver using your remote WHILE ON THAT SCREEN.
Wait 30 minutes, then check software version.
This info is from a Dish tech. and I think it's real. Worked for me anyway.
Note that this will not work if your serial # has not been selected for upgrade yet.
Try it if your like me and always forget to turn the thing off!
Please reply if this works for you. It may be useful info for future upgrades and I want to make sure it just wasn't a coincidence.
