Internet will periodically check for downloads automatically.

on-screen instructions to download and install the update.

Then download the software update file from the www.channelmaster.com/website and
save it on the flash drive.

drive with the update into one of the USB ports on the DVR+ rear panel.
• Wait for your DVR+ receiver to detect the updated software and display the version
information. When prompted by the pop-up message, select CONFIRM to begin installing
the update. See page 34 for more information about messages you may see displayed.
