Pic: Some sor tof new software d/l in progress?

[magnetic1]

I was watching a movie tongiht and all of a sudden the STB shuts itself off and reboots... when it came back up.. it looked like this:

Is this one of those software updates that come on at night? or something else? Seems odd they would do it at about midnight EST.

when you decrypt it, it says the matrix has you...

508 and 568 are version numbers... maybe a d/l is coming soon? Check your system settings. Does it give a target software version other than N/A?

This is a software update. Some times it can take up to 24hrs. You can check your software version by pressing the voom button on your remote, then pressing help, and then info. There will be an nep # and it should be 568. That is the lattest software version. If it is 508, simply put the stb in standby mode before you go to bed by pressing the SAT button on the remote. This will allow the stb to receive software downloads during the night and prevent it from happening in the day.

welp.. its been about 30 mins now and its still doing stuff.

The "matrix" is gone, but now I have a purple screen and the VOOM light bars on the right of the STB are just cycling through...

 

[ChickenLittle]

THe old 508 version did not update time for day light savings and there was issues with the dvi cable and local programming.

 

[astrossuperfan]

awww man... I was all excited thinking it was the NEXT upgrade. *sigh*

 

[ChickenLittle]

Hm.... Did you do any thing like hit the power button?

 

[ChickenLittle]

I don't understand why the screen would turn purple.

 

[magnetic1]

FInally.. its back up.

checking my System Version I dont show the "NEXT" upgrade... its only 568.




EPG: 1.9.6D
QTV: C0117
NEP: 568

 

[ChickenLittle]

I think you have to wait until the upgrade is complete until you can do anything like checking the software version.

 

[ChickenLittle]

568 is what is supposed to be. If it says downloading info from sat. changing the channels may hinder the process of the download.

 

[magnetic1]

ya.. it finished. The screen was purple, then it rebooted itself and came back up.

At least my time is correct now...

 

[ChickenLittle]

Also if you were ussing the DVI cable and having issues with pixelization, that should go away.

Yes, the screen-shot above is a typical download screen for software upgrade from 5.08 to 5.68. You are on the latest version now.

Once the stb starts downloading you cannot do anything with the it and just wait until its done. This usually takes about 30 min.
