Your receiver is able to receive upgrades or modifications to some of its features
and functions. These modifications will occur automatically, usually at times when
your receiver would likely be turned off. If your receiver is on when an upgrade
or modification is sent, you may experience a disruption in reception for several
minutes. Your reception should return to normal after the modification is complete.

Your receiver must be plugged in to receive upgrades. Do not

unplug the receiver while an upgrade is in progress.

If an upgrade is scheduled, a notification will scroll across the bottom of your
screen. You will be given the option to postpone the upgrade and continue
watching TV. 

To prevent a possible disruption in reception, you should turn off your receiver
when it is not in use. That way, automatic upgrades can take place without
interrupting your TV viewing.

In addition to the automatic upgrades just mentioned, service upgrades are
occasionally offered as well. If you turn on your receiver and see a notice asking
if you wish to upgrade your service, it’s recommended that you accept the
upgrade.
