UpdateLogic® provides a service called UpdateTV® which allows manufacturers to deliver software patches to consumer’s digital television receiver devices such as High Definition Television (HDTV) sets, cable boxes and digital-to-analog converter boxes. These patches will fix software bugs, allow the sets to support new standards, and even improve the audio and/or video display on the television -- increasing the reliability of the Digital Television (DTV) device and improving the overall viewing experience for consumers. 

Best of all, UpdateTV is provided by the manufacturer at no charge to the consumer!

UpdateTV provides a seamless delivery mechanism from the manufacturer all the way to the DTV consumer. Because the integrated receiver solution is intelligent, the consumer does not need to be involved in the update process. And, the fact that updates can be delivered proactively, quickly, and efficiently leads to a very good consumer experience which allows the DTV transition in the U.S. to continue unfettered.

Unlike analog-based television sets, today’s digital televisions are chock full of complex software. Like computers, digital televisions have high-speed processors with operating systems and system-level software to make them run. While the digital and high-definition technology advancements result in ultra-crisp picture quality and sound, digital televisions are a lot less stable than analog televisions. And also just like a computer, digital televisions will inevitably require software updates to fix bugs and support the latest changes in the still maturing DTV products.
