6.2.3 Installing a firmware update over the air

Updating your firmware via USB is quick, but it’s not always convenient to connect the PVR to your computer. From time to time, Topfield broadcasts firmware updates via the digi- tal television system, and you can choose to download these when they are broadcast.

You will not see an on-screen message when an update is be- ing broadcast, but Topfield’s web site at www.topfield.co.uk will indicate if an update is available, and the dates on which it will be broadcast. You can only download an update dur- ing that specific period, and not all firmware updates for your PVR may be made available in this way.

To download and install an over the air update, turn your PVR on and press the Menu button on the remote control. Select Installation and then System Software Upgrade.

The PVR will display a screen like this, and if an update is found, it will be listed, and you can select Yes to install it.

The update may take ten to fifteen minutes to download, and your PVR will then restart itself. The new firmware version will be shown in the system menus afterwards.

If there is no update available, you will see a message telling you that there is nothing available. You will also see the same message if the firmware you are using is the same version as the one being broadcast.
