You need to connect your HD-PVR to a windows machine to upgrade the
firmware. I don't believe there is any way.
When I updated mine, I got no feedback from the windows machine that
it was actually updated. Mine is at 0x12 in linux. How that relates
to the windows firmware numbering system, I haven't a clue.
