I have the latest software on my 301's but no Dish Home, anyone else having this issue. I finally got the upgrade on my 501. Not that Dish Home is a must have, it's the pricipal of the thing.

I think that the 301 Dish Home won't be out for another few more months. I was mentioned in the 8/12 Technical chat.

 

[Mark Holtz]

Dishhome won't be activated until September. They didn't mention either early September or late September, or even which year.

 

[Adam Richey]

According to an email I got from them, it will be available by the end of the summer (August?).

 

[Geronimo]

Technically summer goes till late September.

My 301 has dish home... just put it on channel 100...

 

[DishDude1]

I just installed one today that had it. I think the software version was P173 or P174

 

[jeffr]

Sometime in the past three days my 301 received the P174 spool which included Dish Home.

 

[spartanrob]

Just got mine yesterday. P174

 

[Steve Mehs]

For those of you who have received 174 already, how is the speed of Dish Home? And if you also have a 50x how does the speed of the 301 compare to it for Dish Home apps?

I have dish home on one of my two 301's Not sure when I got the upgrade.

 

[mattmill]

Steve, I got 174 last week sometime on my 301 and it is pretty slow. I don't have a 50x to compare. Unless there is some compelling information that I cannot get through other, quicker, means then I think that I will skip it all together.

Customer Service App is only app I found worthwhile, but would rather look up my account on Internet. Only benefit of Dish Home is for those who do not have any internet access. It is quicker for me to run downstairs, boot the PC and get the info than do Dish Home

 

[DeludedXander]

How do I force an upgrade, at least something between P157 and P174? I am stuck with P157, and turning it off doesn't seem to make it want to upgrade. I want DisHome, on my 301, but the stupid thing doesn't upgrade. "September". Sure. I'll believe that. Hey, newsflash, CHARLIE, September is almost over. Where's my friggin' DisHome?!

 

[razorbackfan]

I don't have the upgrade on my 301 either.

 

[dlsnyder]

It's funny how I went through this earlier this year with my 3900. One day I came home and it was on there. Now I hardly ever look at it. I know, it's the principle of the thing. I wanted to decide if it was something I would use. Now I know.

 

[Poosh]

I'm in Oklahoma if that amtters and I still don't have my Dish Home on my 301

 

[scooper]

Do you have the "Upgrade Without my permission" set ? If you don't, it won't update until Dish decides to force a mandatory update.

 

[Poosh]

I have the without my permisson set. and have just in the last couple of days started turning the power off at night and while I am at work and it is on a phone line if that matters.

Then there's not much else you can or need to do - when it becomes time for your unit to get upgraded, it will, and not before... They usually get upgraded in batches depending on serial numbers.
