It was reported that it would roll out to 100,000 622's. I got it on the my lower numbered ViP622.

Please include all changes for L512, since many of us never received L610 at all...

Working fine here in Denver with no problems. I rebooted just in case.

I received the "Turbo" on my 622 this morning, and I'm pleased to say, that I got back the use of my ext hd drive, which hasn't worked since L4.49!

Hooray! I haven't seen any other fallout so far with this version.

Dish, please leave my receiver alone, thanks

I just posted the L610 notes if you want to see what Dish released, I was out on vacation all last week and just remembered to post them today. They are at http://www.dbstalk.com/showthread.php?t=136183

If it is practical (and you are not recording anything ! ), it's always a good idea to do a "power cord pull" after a major software update - i.e. grab the AC plug, pull it out of the outlet, wait 20-30 seconds, and plug it back in.

It clears the memory more effectively than the daily reboot or even a power button reboot.

I had once had timers fail to fire right after an upgrade, but I noticed no one else reporting that symptom in the Forums, so I tried a power cord pull, and thereafter all timers have fired without fail.

So, it seems a good "maintenance procedure" to be safe.

On the other hand, plumbers say that you are supposed to turn off and drain your water heater every so often (every year ?), but I hardly ever do that...

They can't do that, they need to add things like support for the new smartcards, support for 72.7 and 77 satellite locations, etc.

It would be nice to know what's in this version. I sure hope it fixes the audio dropout issue introduced in 5.11. I'll be watching for it as well as reports on this forum.

Crossing fingers, eyes & toes.......

[phrelin]

At least they fixed the "Movies on demand" menu glitch. My 722 was upgraded from 6.10 to 6.12. Wonder what happened to 6.11?

I was crossing my fingers too, but the audio dropout issue is still there for my 622 with 6.12.

Damn! I don't have it yet to confirm. This is not good.

 

[Leprechuan]

I thought it was the Bacardi and coke I was having for breakfast, but upon further review, I did get L6.12.
I've been waiting for L6.10 and it went form L5.10 right to L6.12.

I can't tell any differences yet, but again, thanks to the HOA Nazi's, I only have one dish, I have no idea what I'm missing.

I can't want to move back to Brooklyn.

If I use the format ‘*’ button on the TV2 remote on my “dual mode” 622 setup it’s a guaranteed way to setup the condition that produces the “small video box display” in the upper-left corner of TV1 the next time it is viewed – as long as I don’t toggle through the display formats on TV2, TV1 does not have the problem. To fix the TV1 “micro display” requires either power-cording the 622 or going into the HD output setup (Menu, 6, 8) and momentarily selecting/applying another output resolution.

All summer I had audio cut offs thru the optical port on my dish 622 receiver connected to my Sony surround sound receiver. The cut off only occurs when playing back recorded HD movie with Dolby digital audio. Is this your experience? I haven't received L612 yet, but I too was hoping it would have a fix for the cut off. I don't care about VOD.

Still getting them, also.

I have never made the association that this issue was related to DD 5.1 but others have. Perhaps that's because I have noticed dropouts on my display's internal speakers as well as thru my surround sound system. That's becasue I don't always fire up the home theater system. Dropouts occur simultaneously on both. The 622 is connected to the display via HDMI and to the audio system via Optical.

I've never been able to make the connection, either. The dropouts occur for me on both TV1 and TV2 (which uses the TV's internal speakers). I've also noticed it on content which is not filmed in HD so I am unsure if it is upconverted somewhere to DD 5.1.
