Got the new firmware last night.

Am now able to view the DVR content from any of the Hoppers on any other Hopper or Joey.

Do you have a EHD hooked to anything? and if you do can you see the content from the non EHD connected Hopper?
EHD only shows on the Hopper it is connected to. (and linked Joey)

Thank you :)
The version is not spooling now; seems to me it will be distributed same way as previous recently: short midnight spool for limited number of DVRs.

Interesting other moment: post-S2.13 in the air: AUA1/BSA1 is dl-ing for 100+ units.

Great feature. Has anyone heard when they will activate the bluetooth headphone ability ?
Promised to implement OTA tuner's support first, then H2k's integration.

Well if DISH breaks the "promise" and gets H2K integration out of the way I'll be the last to complain. :)
So far it was unique report, who knows what we will get.
Perhaps the version would be short living and next one is testing right now.

On second thought - the EHD access from any h2k/j in the household wouldn't constituted 'seamless' integration.
I have two Hoppers, each of which has two linked Joeys. Since S265 was loaded this am none of the Joeys can play any of the recordings (the Hoppers can). TheJoeys "see" them under the My Recordings tab but when I click on them to play noting happens. If I open the Edit tab for a particular recording it shows 0 GB and 0 Min. I know they're still there because I can play them from the Hopper. Dish tech support was stumped and sent out a tech this am. He couldn't find the problem either. He and T/S decided it was a software problem. Said I'd have to wait for a fix to DL and left.

I thought you guys were supposed to Beta test this thing before I got involved? :)

Seriously, has anyone else had similar problems?

Thanks!

I assume they did the usual reboot on everything. I'd unplug the Joeys and Hoppers and bring them up one at a time ... waiting for the first hopper to show a received satellite picture before starting the second Hopper and then moving on to Joeys after the Hoppers were up. Cold starts can clear some issues.
Got the new software on the Den hopper and kitchen Joey. It's odd.. the Joey in the kitchen can view stuff on the bedroom hopper(s212), but the den hopper can only connect to the bedroom Hopper. I guess we'll see what spools tonight.

Spooling from 11pm:
R1881149258-R1881251097
R1881264018-R1881264018
R1881255745-R1881255745
R1881255520-R1881255520
S213 6/27/2012. 2:30AM (ET)
(Still S264 on the Joey side.)
For h2k the spool took almost 20 min, for J it's taking 45 min.

There is a new banner on the standby screen:

Just got my update, but...it's not like I have more than 1 Hopper, so...:) Stable, though.
I received the 213 update on only one Hopper, no 265 for Joey. Integration is non existent so far. The 213 Hopper can see the other Hopper but only PTAT folder....In network setting the icons are present but the non updated Hopper has no linked or unlinked graphic.
In settings a new "Headphone" icon with a message this feature will be added later.
My Joey remote had to be paired this morning to get it to work, that anomaly could be a network issue to do with the 213 business, who knows...
Not having all units updated is a little frustrating but not unexpected.
Both Hoppers and both Joeys are up on 213 and 265 here. I can share recordings across the house which is cool. The Den Hopper just froze. I've reset power to it so we'll see what happens. This is the first time either Hopper has hung for a while, now.

Acquiring satellite signal.....

Back.

We'll see how it goes.
