My DRX890 is still on R012 too. This seems to be quite a slow rollout.
That is why I queried earlier if Sky had a problem with it as it does appear an awfully slow roll-out. At first I thought it was just my boxes still on R012. I thought by now it would normally be available on a forced download.

This roll out is taking its time. Generally it takes around 6-8 weeks so we're well behind schedule with this one.

Main box updated last night to R013.082.09.00P

No noticeably significant change - can only imagine they are ironing out some kinks before the R013 software gets a wider airing.

2nd box still on R012.079.50.00P

Still on R012 and don't expect an update now before I get SkyQ installed next week so I will never know what S013 is like

Typical, I finally get my 'over the air' update the same day it appears as a forced download. Still at least it saves me the job

I have the DRX 890 (4f31d3) and according to the sky epg firmware guide I should be able to download version R013 but have tried three times today and still on R012.

Do I have a receiver problem? Any guidance would be appreciated.

Thanks

Potentially as R013 is on the DR stream.

Go to SETTINGS > SIGNAL and make sure you have a good signal strength and quality on input 1.

Also are you definitely getting the UPDATING SYSTEM SOFTWARE message on screen.

Both signals very strong also strong quality on both but only the SKY logo when performing a reboot no download message. I just thought Sky had removed that element.

Thank you - you have pointed me in the right direction.

If you're only seeing the Sky logo, you are just rebooting, not doing a software download.
Assuming you are correctly holding down the backup buton on the box while rebooting, this may well be because the button push is not registering properly.
They are not physically very sound in my experience. Make sure you hear a definite click when you press and hold the button. You may have to press it a bit off-centre.

Tried a fifth time and it worked and I am now on version RO13. I do think I have a receiver problem with glitches etc so will speak to Sky.

Thanks once again for responding to me.

Did you actually see the software upgrade status message?
If not, it wasn't actually upgrading, just rebooting.
If you did see the upgrade message, that's a bit of a mystery, as if it has R12 it should certainly be compatible with R13 (some older boxes will not now upgrade).

We still have not had the update on either box.

Not that fussed but are we going to have to manually download it or will Sky be sending it to the boxes they have missed soon?

Sky's still working their way thorough all the boxes. You will get it automatically eventually.
