921 Receiving L2.74 - Discussion.
Well it looks like the 921 software is downloading. I'm looking for the EPG fix.

Thanks for the update.
Of course the $999 question is can they implement the EPG fix without breaking something else in the process?

I've got my fingers crossed that it contains only fixes. |

Well the download just finished it took about 42 minutes.
About 50 minutes to Up-and-Running. I checked the EPG and have the, "No Information" after the most current (now showing) program. PIP window said that OTA is unavailable for 7 minutes while the guide downloads.
after the 7 minutes, I have a full 9 day EPG!
No Dish Home.
Don't see any changes yet.

Download finished. 41 minutes 39 seconds.
Waiting now to see what happens next. No automatic reboot so far.
I was at the watching the download screen and when it finished it said to power the receiver off to install the software.

I gave up waiting for the automatic reboot and did a reboot with the power switch.
It went through its gyrations, installing the software and then did an automatic reboot and I am now running with 274.
Guide is empty except for the current hour but expect it will take some time for it to get filled up.
I guess so far, I am thankful that my 921 is still working.

Downloaded and back up and running. My 9-day guide is back.
The guide came up with the no-info @ 48 hours. I left it sitting there, and about 10 minutes later, the full guide, all 9 days was back.

That's exactly what happened with mine - and actually it only took about one minute for the 9-day guide to repopulate. |

L274 may have fixed the guide issue; I have nine days of guide for the first time in two weeks.

The announcement was yesterday - it spools today!
I hope it also fixes the stuck aspect ratio bug.

My 921 has a 9-day guide right now (it's got L2.74). I'm going to reserve judgment for a couple of days.

Wow, looks like Dish may be trying to do us right. Decisions, decisions. If the 921 gets fixed (although mine wasn't really broke) do I upgrade to a 622 or keep it and take my chances? The more I think about it, the $99 upgrade deal doesn't seem so bad. At least it's a chance to get the premier receiver for a small price.
Not sure I should ask this question here or another thread but here goes. Is there anything the 921 does that the 622 won't do? Would I lose any functionality by upgrading? (mpeg 4 and new channels notwithstanding)

I've asked this question at least two times and have not gotten a definitive answer. The 921 has a two-hour buffer for pausing the broadcast. I don't know if the 622 has the same two-hour buffer. I heard that all of the newer receivers had only a one-hour buffer. |
