With the beta expiring tonight, can anyone tell us what to expect? Will the software stop working at midnight or will there be some grace period as we wait for new software to be posted online?

Just curious as what to expect since I'm on a business trip and would be really bummed if I lost functionality until I got home.

So, can someone from Sling give us a heads up. Should we be watching our email for a key? Any clues will be appreciated!

Thanks!

Well, it's April 26th and still no word. I tested out the beta version this morning and it is still ticking. So, maybe it will expire at the end of today and hopefully by then we'll have received something in the email???

I'm having a few problems with version 1.0.0.68 on my device so I removed the link to a build I am not sure about.

Better to wait for the "official" link methinks :)

bah- looks like you have to update to firmware on the box to use the new software.... any way to do that remotely?

The software is Version 1.0.0.68
and the Firmware needs to be Version 1.0.61

Do you have a PC on the home network?? Logmein.com has a free remote control but you'd have to have someone load it there for you first..

I guess they're not releasing the software until tomorrow. The support page now has this message:

I believe any posts made to download links were unauthorized links to beta downloads..

Amazing how some people just can't follow rules...

I've registered before the april haven't got an email to download yet. Guys will it take awhile for everyone to get there emails? will the email have a link to the direct download?

Just got and installed the final version.

I was getting ticked off that it kept complaining about low memory or battery life making full screen mode not look good, so I jettisoned a couple of programs.

Still, that message was not going away.

Finally, I went into memory and adjusted the slider above 10MB for program memory, and voila, it's like a new program! :D

The specs say you have to have "at least 7MB", but I had already over 8 when I first ran it. The more, the better, I guess. It works fine now.

And for those who care (which apparently is no one here), it's still working fine on my WM2003 pre-SE version iPaq 2215. I've given up on asking if that's just an unintended consequence, since the production version is fine :)
