The DIRECTV HD Receiver is able to receive upgrades or modifications to some of its features and functions
via satellite service. These modifications will automatically be made, usually at times when the 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 a minute or two. Your reception should return to normal after the modification is
complete. Your receiver must be plugged in and connected to satellite service to receive any upgrades.
Please consult the Upgrade Menu to find a schedule of upgrades or modifications planned by DIRECTV.
(Note: Do not unplug your receiver while an upgrade is in progress. )
