The v5.7 firmware can be installed by anyone competent with AV equipment.īy default, these models check for firmware on-air nightly at 0300, so long as the appropriate setting is Enabled. If it's any version lower than v5.7, the recorder will not be able to be used on post-switchover signals until that firmware is installed onto it. If your parents do have a PVR designation Digihome, they should check its firmware version (referred on-screen as Receiver Upgrade) by accessing: This version firmware has been put on-air several times. The Digihome PVR80 (and PVR160) models (and the same recorders, by other names) are compatible with "8k mode" signals, only if they are running the v5. At the time of switchover, the signals from masts already transmitting digitally change (subtly) from "2k mode" to "8k mode".
