Important notice PVR-9150T, PVR-9200T, PVR-9300T issues

Dear Trade Partner,
Some broadcast changes were made on the UK DTT platform today which has caused the above models to lock on one channel after being on for 35-45 seconds. Unfortunately this will mean the remote control will not operate until the product is switched OFF at the mains and back on again, but the problem will continue to happen.
Products are only affected if they are on old software (manufactured before June 2010) and have not received any Over Air download.
The only solution to the issue is to carry out a software update via the menu as per this link, either using the Automatic or Manual update procedure. Products that are left in standby overnight during the model’s OAD broadcast, will update automatically.
Please can you also advise your customers to leave the products in standby overnight on a regular basis as this is the only method of guaranteeing future software updates..
The following Over the Air Downloads have been booked so you will need to advise customers to carry out the update for their models during the times the updates are on air. After the update is received and installed there should be no further issues.
