I just checked this morning and my local guide data was gone.

I also checked software version and it's 3.85. They want you to sub to locals just to get guide info. I won't be held hostage by Dish. That's the reason why I haven't upgraded to a new 211. Fios is in my not too distant future. So Dish is going to potentially lose a $90 a month sub because they removed guide data to try and squeeze me for 5 bucks. Now thats a real sound busness plan!

Do not turn this into a vent thread. If you wish to express your dislike with a marketing decision please take the discussion out of the technical support forums and into the Dish general forum.

Thanks,

A few days ago it asked me upgrade and I said yes. It tried to download for about 20 minutes but wouldn't get past 2 bars, so it finally stopped trying. It hasn't asked me since.

EDIT - nevermind. I see the update was canceled or something.

I currently have the P 3.84 software and have had more receiver reboots in the past 3 weeks than I have had in the last 6 months. I see the resets happen more often when I tune into the OTA locals.

3.84 has a matrix error when it updated. Reteach the switch matrix by pressing "menu-6-1-1-Checkswitch" then after the system comes back up and aquires the guide, rescan your locals by pressing "menu-6-1-5-Scan Digital-Save" when complete do a front panel reboot by pressing and holding the front panel power button.

If this doesn't help please let me know.

Thanks Jason. So far so good!
