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 to receive upgrade. Do not
unplug your receiver while an upgrade is in progress.Please consult the Upgrade Menu to find a schedule of upgrades or
