Possible hack

On my TV came a notification that there was an upgrade and it started to "download".  I did not see the words Direct TV on the screen, so I am concerned I was hacked.

Hi, @bokoenig12, @shannon02 is right. DIRECTV automatically downloads updates to keep customers updated with its latest software. So, don't worry. It's perfectly safe. Thanks for bringing this matter to our attention. Ryan, DIRECTV Community Specialist

TVs connected to the internet also downloads updates, most tell you they have been updated.

if you did see the words DIRECTV on the screen turn off the box and ask DIRECTV about it the most it will do is stop the update

@shannon02 actually they do know, the update schedule is in the knowledge base that every csr is required to utilize for information
