  3. On the remote, press the following sequence: INFO then BROWSE then THEME
  4. Press the TV/VIDEO button, and then the ird's Front power button
  5. The receiver will reboot, flush its memory and redownload its software

In order to give the website a better focus, we are phasing out the less popular areas of the site, including the high definition and digital video recorder areas and forums. This will leave the site focused on digital satellite television and satellite radio.
