UPGRADES
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.
N O T E 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.
DIRECTV® programming is provided in accordance with the terms and conditions of the DIRECTV Customer Agreement, which is provided with your first DIRECTV billing statement. DIRECTV is a trademark of DIRECTV, Inc., a unit of Hughes Electronics Corp., and is used with permission.
