Software Versions

NEWS : BETA TEST FW - Now considered Current Versions for Update - See Beta Section

PVR Application Software Type s
PVR Application Software - Packages can be : Type - (x Files when unpacked) - Update/Restore Method


 * Normal Updates - The preferred update method
 * Application Only (AO) - (2/3 Files) - Update is done using the Menu Method


 * System Restore - Only to be used when problems are being experienced
 * Main System Update (MSU) - (8 Files) - Application Update can done using the Menu Method, but if using to Restore or apply a Kernel/Base Build change etc. then a Rear USB Boot Method Update must be used.


 * Full Version Update (FVU) - (10/11 Files) - Includes MICOM update thus should only be carried out using the Rear USB Boot Method [Note: If you do not want to update the MICOM software then you can remove all .hex files and use the Menu Method to Update or the Rear USB Boot Method to Restore Main System]

The Broadcom SoC used in the Digital Stream PVR's can cause problems with audio where the Digital Stream is set to output PCM, however there is no problem with Dolby Digital being passed through (bitstreamed) to a AV Amp or TV that can decode the Dolby Digital stream.

As a result of these audio problems all the more recent Updates have two Variants:


 * Normal (DD) - This variant will only be labelled with the version number.


 * Audio Patched (PCM) - This variant will be labelled with a different version number.

Please set Dolby Digital=ON for (DD) Variant

Please set Dolby Digital=OFF for (PCM) Variant

MICOM Software

 * The MICOM software governs operation of the front panel display and touch buttons and is installed using the Rear USB - Full Version Update - method.

CHANGELOG - Release Notes

 * Release Notes 4.22 - "Special Release" FW

 * This Update was not available via MIT London.


 * Choose DD Variant for 5.1 TV/systems (MENU > PREFERENCES > AV Setup : Set DD=ON)
 * Choose PCM Variant for Stereo TV/systems (MENU > PREFERENCES > AV Setup : Set DD=OFF)


 * Update to 4.22 using MENU Method - Front USB for convenience.


 * MENU > OTHERS > Maintenance > Software Update > [PIN:0000] > USB
 * Before Updating to 4.22 you can perform a DB Backup but this is only usable if you wish to revert to 4.14 at a later date.
 * NOTE: The Reservations DB in 4.22 is modified compared to v4.14 and before. DB remains in memory (my experience) and if FW is Downdated it should return but if you wish to continue to use 4.22 on an ongoing basis it is best to do a Default Reset and start fresh.
 * For best practice you can also set Time Shift Auto-Start to OFF and perform a Power-Cycle (Min 30sec OFF) about 10 minutes after Channel Installation and initial testing.
 * Set Time Shift Auto-Start to ON again after this Cycle as desired.
