Our first maintenance release of SlingCatcher firmware is now available.  THANK YOU again for all the forum posts.  We'll continue to release small, frequent updates based on your continued feedback.

Q. How will I be notified of the upgrade?
A. New owners will automatically download the latest during installation.  Current owners will get notified on the SlingCatcher home screen at a random time between launch (now) and 2 days from launch.  This staggered notification approach will help ensure a quick download time for all customers.  The home screen is accessed by pressing the Sling logo (“slinky”) on the Catcher’s remote control.

Q. Do I have to wait to be notified?
A. No.  You can download the latest release now, even if you don't yet see the notification.

Q. How do I force the upgrade?
A. Make sure your TV is set to the SlingCatcher input.  Using the Catcher remote control, navigate as follows: Logo (“slinky”) button > Settings > Software Update > Check for updates > Yes

Q. What’s new and fixed?
A. See the "Update Available" notes at: http://support.slingmedia.com/go/slingcatcher

Q. What if my issue isn’t on the list?
A. Our plan is to release smaller, more frequent updates, so hang tight--and make sure you let us know which issues are most important to you.  Much of the current release was based directly on feedback from beta and the Sling Community.  On Sling Community, the best place to list your bug is on the SlingCatcher bug thread.  (An individual bug can then be referenced/ explored in its own thread.)  For Sling Media Customer Support, go to: support.slingmedia.com.

Catch on!
