My box has not received the update yet.

That is interesting. My box which has been in service for a few months is on version 2.4.6

My box was upgraded to 2.5 in the last few days. No more beeping from the menus.

I got the upgrade overnight. I'm glad I still have the choice of keeping the beep. I use a second remote with an RF adaptor and an FM transmitter to send audio throughout my house. I rely on that beep to help me know what I'm doing whenever I change channels from another room.

Any way to force the update

I just checked my box and it is running 2.4.5

Anyway to force the update to 2.5?

We did away with the "beep" for a few days then turned it back on. Had gotten so used to it being there to let us know channels were changing that we missed it!

Have you tried leaving your box on but set to the main menu over night?
