I've been tinkering with the upnp interface for my VIP
211k receivers, and I'm pretty sure I've found a way to
turn off the annoying nightly firmware updates that
can't be disabled from the normal UI.<br>
<br>
Make a copy of Jon's original vip211-channellist script
(from <a moz-do-not-send="true"
href="https://github.com/jheizer/UPnPChannelChanger"
target="_blank">https://github.com/jheizer/UPnPChannelChanger</a>)
and replace the call to upnp_send near the end of the
script with this:<br>
<br>
upnp_send $HOST 'Updates'
'<Enable_disable>Disable</Enable_disable>'<br>
<br>
Then, call your edited script, passing it the IP address
of your receiver.

<div>Do you know the effects of doing this though? I had
debated including it but I never have anything recording
at 3am so I left it. Will you lose new channel
updates? Miss getting access to preview channels? etc?</div>

I tried that when the UPnP interface first started showing up: it
did not honor that setting and rebooted at the scheduled time
anyway. Note that in the ViP222k you cannot disable the automatic
updates via the menu, only change the update time. It is worth
testing, though, as that was at least a year ago.<br>

Sadly, Martin's report that setting this via upnp didn't help still
seems to be the case, at least on my VIP 211k boxes. The nightly
poweroff still occurs.<br>
<br>
So I'm forced to continue my current hack: I set up each box to do
updates at different times, one at 3:00 AM, the other at 4:00 AM.
Then, I have high-priority recording rules to record something on
each box during the update time period every night. That way,
nothing I care about gets recorded during that time.<br>
