Where's my upgrade?!?

LOL, okay, maybe I'm being impatient, but I want my upgrade!

I just got DirecTV with UltimateTV installed, and still have the 3.0 software. Is there a way to prompt the box to DL the update, or do I just have to wait?

Also, in the channel guide, there's two "Ultimate TV" boxes taking up a 1/2 hour of programming space (unlike the demo I saw on their website). Is there a way to get rid of these, or will the 3.5 upgrade get rid of them?

On a side note, I'm glad to find this forum, it was very helpful in my decision to get rid of digital cable. I got my system installed for $50 from Circuit City, and got the NFL package promotion from DirecTV. Helluva deal. I can't wait to experience some Dolby Digital from my TV!

Thanks,

Matt

You wil get your upgrade in the middle of the night. The upgrades I have gotten have been at about 2:00 a.m. Make sure nothing is set to record around that time or the upgrade won't happen.

You can check to see when the upgrade will be by going to Home -> Settings -> System Info -> Upgrades -> More Info or something like that (I can't remember exactly as I am at work).

The two UTV boxes on in the guide will disappear when version 3.5 downloads. You will notice some big service enhancements when this download happens.
