[abenn13]

Just updated my Amstrad DRX595 Sky HD STB box from R010.070.58.02P to R010.070.58.06P firmware release as it is now available on the DR Stream.

There was a new release that came out last night for the DrX89x versions R010.070.58.13P

Just updated my Amstrad DRX595 Sky HD STB box from R010.070.58.02P to R010.070.58.06P firmware release as it is now available on the DR Stream.

Thank you both for these updates.

I've been away and have now updated the table to reflect the information.

The other STBs should be getting their R010 updates soon. If anyone has one and gets the update, please do let us know. I have no dates or version numbers to provide, so any information is always appreciated.

Just guessing, but based upon the previous updates, I would also suggest that some of the features present with the R010 update on the DRX89x range will not be present on these STBs. If you are able to let us know the differences we would be grateful.

I have been told that the 013p is not yet on general release, but is being passed out to a limited number of boxes.

I have been told that the 013p is not yet on general release, but is being passed out to a limited number of boxes.

The .13P update is being rolled out publicly, however it has been targeted at those who had already received R010.

With every new version which rolls out publicly, Sky initially starts with small batches of boxes and increases the number updated in each batch as confidence grows in the software.

.13P was pushed out to some of those who already had R010, on Tuesday morning in a small batch. The following morning a larger batch of people who were on R009, received the .06P update.

While I don't know for sure, it's likely that Sky chose to still push .06P out as it has been rolling out for a while and can be used for larger batches. Batches in the millions as oppose to the hundred thousands which the .13P can currently be used for.

This would speed up the deployment of R010, but ultimately everyone with the same hardware will eventually end up with the same release at the end of the rollout. Which is expected to be .13P for 89x & 596 boxes.

The developers continued to keep themselves busy and fixed a few minor issues, hence the .13P release.

.06P was stable enough for public release. The issues resolved in .13P just tidied things up a little and in most cases people would not be aware of the points fixed.

There are a few hidden features which will become known about in due course. More on these when the time is right.

In the mean time, the firmwares for the Pace, Samsung and Amstrad DRX780 STBs is getting closer to public release. If someone happens to get it who isn't involved in any beta group, please let us know.

Just updated the table. I changed the colours this morning. This was mostly to help myself when I am editing the versions. Hopefully it will also help everyone else too to find their STB a little more easily.

The main reason for updating the table now though is to reflect the fact that R010.070.58.13P is now available on the DR Stream for the DRX89x series of STBs.

R010.070.58.13P is on the DR stream for DRX595 boxes as well scubbie.

R010.070.58.13P is on the DR stream for DRX595 boxes as well scubbie.

Thank you. I didn't think that the DRX595 would share the same version at this stage.
