Sorry, but I have been unable to see the links to the pics of the 6400. Tried in both Chrome and IE8 browser and am unable to find them in the 1st post. Can someone repost with new links.
I have yet to have one download the firmware.....lol
Can you try one of your squeeky and see if you batch work.? I tried Legacy via an SW21 and a DPP Twin, with no joy. Also tried on a stacked system, still nothing.
Pinza, Would they not already have the latest firmware on them from bell? Since Dish does not have that model there would be no Dish firmware on it You would think.
Even if there was a "stock" firmware on them there would probably be updated firmware available by the time they were first installed to fix any last minute bugs.
No disrespect intended scrooloose (but don't you think that was one of my first thoughts.?) I asked them almost 2 weeks ago and they told me that it is in the Datastream. I have seen 2 of these receivers working at a Bell location, so it should be there somewhere.
Years ago when the 6000 was launched, it would never download if fed from an SW21 or SW44, it had to be 91 only. I have tried just about every combination I can find and still no joy.
There is a program out there somewhere that will d/l all the firmware Bell or Dish has streaming to your pc to check this. I just can't think of the name though.
This reminds me of the days when the only channel visible on a non-active Bell receiver was Playboy preview.....lol NOTE, no other channels are in this section so the Customer cannot see any programming at all before activation.
Well I have now had the chance to play with this new model for 24 hours and I have to admit I like it.
The look and feel of the new Guide is very nice and clean. Remote response is very good, yes it is only IR but it works well with an LCD TV that gave issues with the backlight settings.
I was not too happy about the loss of an optical output just the HDMI but I think this will just prompt me to swap out my Home Theater Amp.......
Otherwise I would say that overall it is not a bad reciever.
This is an older thread, you may not receive a response, and could be reviving an old thread. Please consider creating a new thread.
