Hopper - S216 or S217/Joey S268 Software Experiences/Bugs

Got S216 tonight. RIP S215. Available Joey software is S268. Haven't checked the Joeys or other Hoppers yet.

EDIT: Hard drive percentage used went down, granted I never use PTAT so I guess it gave me the space that PTAT would normally occupy. Space available on the internal drive is up to 1231 GB from 1000.

EDIT2: All 3 Hoppers are on S216 and 2 Joeys are on S268. Had to re enable bridging on 1 Hopper to get Internet connectivity on the other 2 Hoppers and 1 MoCA Joey, plus it re enabled the wireless Joey's ability to link with the MoCA Hoppers.

So far so good, all Hoppers and Joeys can see each other. On S213, I had lots of issues with receivers randomly unable to see each other after the nightly update until I did a red button reboot. Disabling bridging on the MoCA-only Hoppers didn't even help. Hopefully that won't be the case anymore. I certainly never had problems with that on S212.

I am also very happy to see that my recordings that previously said "You are not subscribed" are now restored and work fine!

So S216 is a winner in my book!

I too received 216/268 last night (at 2:43AM ET).
Got them this morning. HD setup now says 1080p/1080i. I think this is new.

BTW how do I view the disk capacity
You can find the disk capacity in the Recordings Transfer settings. If you have further questions, please let me know. Thanks.

How do you get S216 on ALL of your hoppers (and S268 on your Joeys), yet NONE of mine have updated past S213??

Unfair!! ;)

Dunno. I didn't get 215/267 but last night we got 216/268.
I received S2.16/S2.68 last night as well. I skipped over S2.15/S2.67 as well. Looks good so far.

Same here.
My Hopper is now on S217 too, but the Joeys are still S268 :confused:
Yep Hoppers are at 217 Joeys are at 268 Hoppers show available Joey software as 268.
Received 2.17 this morning as well. Didn't have to reset any bridge settings as others have mentioned. Maybe that is the reason for 2.17?

S217 - 30-second skip is still slow.
I think it's worse. On old softwareI could push the skip button 8 times real fast and move a head 4 min. On 213 you could still do it pretty relieablely but picture was frozen. Now on 217 picture still frozen but pushing 8 times gets me if I'm lucky maybe 5 pushes work.
I'm showing S2.68 is the current software version for the Joey. Thanks.

Hey, Ray is 217 going to disable bridging in a Hopper where it was manually re-enabled in 216?
