Fix the 4DTV Ratings Issue and Restore Firmware Back to A4!

I am going to do this once I change my battery. I have an older GI model that I am going to use hopefully later today.

Remember this firmware returning to A4 is only for a 922 receiver!

And what are you doing replacing maps without replacing your battery first?
Yeah I'm whipping you like you never been whipped before!
Are you trying to see if your 922 will die on you and you lose your unit id number?

Sure glad you decided to not do anything with the firmware till you put in a new battery !!!!

OK, I'll calm down here a bit but really before anyone attempts to redo their maps if they have not replaced their battery in the last 7 years do it before you do anything else.
I lost a unit id on one of my receivers here and that is not fun!
Lost the unit id because I waited too long to replace that dog-gone battery.
Don't make the same mistake I made .

Congrats! RRob!!!!

no more ratings ceiling bug for your 922!!!!

Now make sure you post it everywhere you go that you changed out your 922 firmware back to A4 by yourself!

Ya I am about ready to run out of batteries. I started with the oldest units first (dsr920) and did those as soon as I got them but I have faith with the newer 922s I have. In fact one of my 920's seems to have been repaired somewhere. The battery was dated 1999 and there are numerous tags on the main board. I would imagine this indicates things were replaced or tested. But no worries, that GI 922 is the oldest of the batteries I have so all is well. :-) I replaced a couple of batteries out of my first 920 that were just about 20 years old and alive and well. I would rather be lucky than good.

OK this is a little bit of advice to anyone who does this to their receiver.
Once you do this please take your old files from the receiver and zip them all up someplace if they had the old firmware in it.
Then using your BDM device re-download from your receiver all your new files with the A4 firmware.
Do not mix the 2 firmware files.
You also do not want to resend your old files to the receiver since the firmware is different use only the ones taken out after the firmware change.

This is just a precaution as you do not want to ever have a problem in the future.
