Looks like mine has never been updated from when I got it well over a year ago:
'Software Version v1.00.03 CE'
I suspect the 'Digital Software Upgrade' doesn't work as I am in an area designated as rubbish for reception, although most channels are watchable apart from the occasional dropout.
Reading other msgs in here suggests I am stuffed.
I wanted to upgrade the firmware to see if it cured a recent fault where the machine just decides to turn itself off during a recording.
Perhaps time to get something else, anyone else moved on from this machine to something similar?
When I got it I was surprised to find there was no REC PAUSE facility.
I could live without it though as I also still use an old RDR-GX3, nursed back to life after hacking lumps out of the front to fit a spare Sony writer ex PC, when it stopped recognising discs.
