[QUOTE="spiney, post: 120363, member: 192438"] I'd like to say a bit more (which I only thought of after above post). When the software update is first made available, for a particular digibox type, then ALL digiboxes of that type automatically load it (you can't stop this happening!). If there were a general update problem, then ALL digiboxes in fringe areas would suddenly stop working. Which doesn't happen. The software is in MPEG data stream, so carries the usual error correction, and I think software has extra embedded CRC checks, so should be ok if picture is. Note, if the sotware blocks are corrupt, this is detected, and they shouldn't load. The Pace certainly has 2 copies of software, Panasonic have a reputation for high quality and I would be surprised if they didn't too, it would be rather stupid to have only 1 copy! [/QUOTE]
