I've got one of the Sony HD300's running 1.06. Does anyone know how to force the HD300 to dial up and check for upgrades from DirecTV? I can't find a menu option that forces it to dial up like with the TiVO's. I know it is supposed to download upgrades in-band via the satellite signal, but I was assuming that it would want to dial up via phone line first to verify account info, etc. Anyway, let me know if there is a way to force the HD300 to do this.
Also, has anyone heard any new news on when the new version will be released by DirecTV? I think it was 1.8 that Sony said was out but DirecTV wasn't releasing.
