The DIRECTV HD Receiver is able to receive upgrades or modifications to some of its features
and functions. 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 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. )
