I missed the boat!...

 

[Mavrick]

I hope that he does for I missed it also!

Same here, would be nice for Santa to come again this year.

 

[dan8379]

I'm also in GA and didn't get it either......

 

[RichmondSteeler]

According to the map, no one in Richmond VA has the new version. I would like to get it and test it out in central VA for D*. Open up the window again tonight? Please!

Earl - Can you please please get them to do this again. DBStalk.com is one of my nightly visiting spots and I have no idea why I decided not to visit it last night but I missed the boat! I have my off air antenna setup already I just don't have OTA and I really want to test this!!!

I will contact the North Pole and see what I can do.

I would put it at less then 25% chance that Santa will make a repeat visit.. but I will try.... But I can say... if Santa does make a 2nd appearence, it will be his last this holiday season..

 

[jdmac29]

I read this forum everyday, left work at 5pm ct, had to take care of some stuff, got home had a sick child so did not get online last night.

HOPEFULLY SANTA WILL COME AGAIN?

I will check back again tonight.

 

[Tmax88]

Less than 25% chance is good enough for me. Thanks a million for trying Earl. Your help is very much appreciated.

Why would it be so difficult to do it again? I checked this forum at least 20 times yesterday while at work, specifically reading Earl's posts. The last one I read was this, posted around 5:30 EST

"There is nothing you need to do.
Once the software is available for your system, it will download.

0x108 is still in very limited release..."

Not even a hint that Santa might make a visit, or that anything could be in the works. Come on D*, turn on the faucet again!

There is just a marginal risk on DirecTV side.
Unexpected people getting a download that has not been given the full green light... and the possible phone calls to the CSR level.

I know of at least one person that got it unexpectedly...

We will see what you can do.

And "Santa" didn't call me until late yesterday

[Larry the Cable Guy] I know Mrs. Claus would like it if Santa .... oh, I'm sorry for that one Lord. That's just wrong. Forgive me. [/Larry the Cable Guy]

 

[paulman182]

I hope I got it unexpectedly!

I don't need OTA, but a little more stability would be good--I've been having more lockups lately.

Anyone who is on this forum knows how to force a download, why is it nessesary for such a small window the general public does not know how to do it. As for this forum I have nothing relevent to contribute because I have a build that is over a month old (Oxfa which has been terrible) I feel that a carrot was dangled and some of us weren't lucky enough to be there. Earl we who are loyal visiters to this forum deserve a chance to download it.

Part of a standard install job; is the installer to make sure the unit has the latest national release.

The way the software is pushed out, there can only be ONE version in the "hopper" that everyone can see.

So unless we build a distinct list of Access Card / RID numbers, to limit the distribution... they have to put the version in the National hopper.

Hence why for the tiny, late window....

 

[slaz55]

Well... I guess I'll come back to the forum when I have something I can contribute. For now nothing being discussed that is revelent to us Oxfa users.

Ahh a reboot a day keeps the blue screen away.....

fyi I asked earl in a thread yesterday IF OTA is not a priority would he recommend forcing the download and his answer was negative....

 

[tmmoore]

The real crazy part of this is that many in LA and other venues who have 0x108 do not know it, and have not been seeking it out because they have their locals via satellite. Only a small handful were/are exercising the new function. The small window probably added many more real users that are willing to provide feedback. Another would undoubtedly do the same, with very little real risk as anyone with issues just resets back to 0xFA.

Anyone getting it by accident is most likely not going to be enabling OTA since they probably do not know they can. So there is very little downside to turning on another shot of this. They may even keep a few very very very unhappy customers.

 

[wexpo16]

I missed this update too. I play ice hockey and had a game last night and didnt check the forum once i got home!! Maybe we will get another shot

 

[solo1026]
