Schedule an STB Update
The STB Software Update feature enables the STB to check for and download software
updates on a one-time, user-dened basis. An STB Update should periodically be scheduled
in conjunction with software updates from the satellite service provider.
Note: At the time an update is scheduled to begin, the STB will be switched to
standby in order to enable it to download the update. When the update window is
over, the STB will be switched back ON; however, note that it may take up to 10 min-
utes for streaming to resume. Contact your service provider for further information.

STB Software Update is initiated.
