Personally, I'd just use the Clearmybox and be done with it.

Me too I just use Clearmybox too

Or Clearmybox2 depending on your situation.

 

[vazhog]

I agree-That's how I do it as well using Clearmybox - I was just adding to the comment above my replay for a 3 red button reset and how to do it - kinda tongue in cheek in a typing kinda way

What's the difference between clearmybox and clearmybox2?

Ones for regular software, the other for beta software.

Yeah ...

When you formally participate in the beta-testing program on Edgecutter.com you need to use a number of different items for sending test reports back to DIRECTV listed under a special "Misc. Options" catagory you can activate to display under Menu items.

To prevent the Misc. Options catagory from annoyingly disappearing after a clearmybox double-restart procedure, you use clearmybox2 instead.

I'd just restart the box 3 times in a row or do the CLEARMYBOX in the search and it will reboot and should reload them. If you choose to restart your box 3 times in a row, make sure you do them in a row and not let the box sit for a while after each reset.

It is two times in a row and they just have to be within 30 min of each other

Restart the receiver (when the "BLUE" light goes dark) upon the first sign of the blue light(re-boot) from the remote (using IR remote*) point it at the receiver "Press" 0 2 4 6 8

*I find using a IR remote gets better results - if you miss it and it starts boot up- press the red button and try again

This assumes the new software is in the queue for downloading. Otherwise you will get the previous national release.

 

[vazhog]

they just asked HOW to do it- not when

That's correct, but I didn't want the poster thinking he would necessarily be getting the new software. Jimbo, can you post a link that shows when the new software is in the queue? Pretty sure you have it.

really, I didn'think it was THAT long, but maybe so. I know they skipped the last 2 weeks plus the 1st weekend of the new year.

I saw 1000 out there, but it wasn't there when I was awake and I'm not gonna purposely wake up to check.
