DIRECTV periodically sends system software updates to your
receiver to improve performance and upgrade features and
functions. These updates will occur automatically. The receiver
will give you the option to download software “now” or “later.”
Software downloads take just a few minutes and should be
allowed to proceed when possible. When a download is in
progress, channels, interactive functions and applications will
temporarily become unavailable. After the download is complete,
the receiver may reset itself. Once the receiver download and/or
reset is complete, you can resume using as normal.

The licenses for most software are designed to take away your freedom to share and change it. By contrast, the GNU General Public
License is intended to guarantee your freedom to share and change free software--to make sure the software is free for all its users.
This General Public License applies to most of the Free Software Foundation’s software and to any other program whose authors
commit to using it. (Some other Free Software Foundation software is covered by the
t GNU Lesser General Public License instead.)
You can apply it to your programs, too.

When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom, not price. Our General

Preamble
Finally, any free program is threatened constantly by software patents. We wish to avoid the danger that redistributors of a free
program will individually obtain patent licenses, in effect making the program proprietary. To prevent this, we have made it clear that
any patent must be licensed for everyone’s free use or not licensed at all.
The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and modication follow.

be distributed under the terms of this General Public License. The “Program”, below, refers to any such program or work,
and a “work based on the Program” means either the Program or any derivative work

c) If the modied program normally reads commands interactively when run, you must cause it, when started running for such
interactive use in the most ordinary way, to print or display an announcement including an appropriate copyright notice and a
notice that there is no warranty (or else, saying that you provide a warranty) and that users may redistribute the program under
these conditions, and telling the user how to view a copy of this License. (Exception: if the Program itself is interactive but does not
normally print such an announcement, your work based on the Program is not required to print an announcement.)

These requirements apply to the modied work as a whole. If identiable sections of that work are not derived from the Program,
and can be reasonably considered independent and separate works in themselves, then this License, and its terms, do not apply to
those sections when you distribute them as separate works. But when you distribute the same sections as part of a whole which
is a work based on the Program, the distribution of the whole must be on the terms of this License, whose permissions for other
licensees extend to the entire whole, and thus to each and every part regardless of who wrote it.

allowed only for noncommercial distribution
bution and only if you received the program in object code or executable form with such an
offer, in accord with Subsection b above.))
The source code for a work means the preferred
rred form
for of the work for making modications to it. For an executable work, complete
source code means all the source code for all modules
it contains, plus any associated interface denition les, plus the scripts
mo
used to control compilation and installation of the executable. However, as a special exception, the source code distributed need not
include anything that is normally distributed (in either source or binary form) with the major components (compiler, kernel, and so
on) of the operating system on which the executable runs, unless that component itself accompanies the executable.
If distribution of executable or object code is made by offering access to copy from a designated place, then offering equivalent
access to copy the source code from the same place counts as distribution of the source code, even though third parties are not
compelled to copy the source along with the object code.

obligations under this License and any other pertinent

directly or indirectly through you, then the only way you could satisfy
both it and this License would be to refrain entirely from

It is not the purpose of this section to induce you to infringe any patents or other property right claims or to contest validity of
any such claims; this section has the sole purpose of protecting the integrity of the free software distribution system, which
is implemented by public license practices. Many people have made generous contributions to the wide range of software
distributed through that system in reliance on consistent application of that system; it is up to the author/donor to decide if he or
she is willing to distribute software through any other system and a licensee cannot impose that choice.

In addition to your TV, you may wish to connect other
equipment, such as a DVD burner, VCR, or even a second TV
to your DIRECTVÂŽ Receiver. For the best-quality picture, it is
recommended you do not use a pass-through connection from
your TV or other equipment as an input to a DVD burner or
VCR. Instead, use an available connection from your DIRECTV
Receiver. For example, if you use the HDMI connection on
your DIRECTV Receiver to connect to your TV, you can use the
Component Video, Composite Video RCA, or S-Video Out to
connect to your DVD burner, VCR, or second TV.
