Software build naming:
The following are all software version 5.1 for the 5XXX series platform (50XX and 55XX)-
530510190 is build 19 (the trailing zero is not part of the build number)
530511400 is build 140
530511440 is build 144
***The manual time set image files (at the other download sites) for 20XX and 30XX/ShowStopper series boxes allow for the
time on the ReplayTV to be set manually if the modem is dead and the box is no longer capable of a net connect. You only
need this if your modem is dead and you want to use the ReplayTV as a digital VCR. The manual time set image files are only
available for pre-4000 series ReplayTVs.
****There is an image (5504_50103.zip) in the 5500 directory (of the other download sites), but one of the images listed above
should be used on either 50XX or 55XX series ReplayTVs. The image in the 5500 directory is old and has been known to cause
various problems. The hardware on the 50XX and 55XX series is identical and the 50XX images can be used on either the 50XX
or 55XX series ReplayTVs.
The rtv_5K_FactoryReset_140.zip image is considerably larger than the other images. It was not a general public release and
consequently does not compress as well as the other images. If you are attempting to retain CA and IVS in a 55XX ReplayTV,
rtv_5K_FactoryReset_140.zip is a newer release than 5040_530510190.zip, although either image should work.
Image files may also be available at:

Some of the image files are also available via bit torrent at:

• You did the upgrade and now it won't boot???
There are two "Please wait ..." type screens during boot up (see "****Note:" below). The first is displayed by the motherboard
and will appear on the composite and s-video outputs even if there is no hard drive in the ReplayTV:
If you never see the initial "Please wait ..." screen (shown above) on the composite or s-video outputs as the ReplayTV boots
up, that indicates a problem with the motherboard that is not field repairable.
