Logging Upgrade Activities
The ETV-STBDownload application logs all commands and responses between the application
and the upgrade server, and between the application and the set top boxes. To enable/disable
application logging, go to
Preferences > Logging. For debugging purposes, the log file
records all error codes, success codes, checksums, etc. Since each new upgrade overwrites the
log, be sure to check the log file (and save if necessary) after a failed upgrade. The
