Annoying software/channel update message on my Kuro

[Pindi]

Hi all,

Is there any way of stopping the TV from trying to update? The message pops up at the most random times!

My Kuro isn't connected to my TV aerial, so it probably can't update anyway.

Thank you

Update what? My Kuro has never asked me to do this?

Ditto ditto.

I can't recall the exact message, but it wants to look for new software updates and scan for new channels.

Ditto ditto.

I wish that I could add ditto, ditto, ditto.

Seriously, it sounds like you've got "Software update" turned on (which it is by default) and the lack of aerial is causing the TV an issue:

- Home Menu / Setup / DTV Setup / Software Update / Auto Update / On

Turn this Off and see if it helps.

Could be your Sky+HD or PS3 asking for updates instead?

Sounds like that could be it, I will try it tonight.

Thank you!

No, it's definitely the TV, I have to close the menu using the Kuro remote.

Yes, I get this message too...and it's always at the same time every night. Just haven't bothered the trawl thru the menus to turn it off.

It looks like Scene's advice has worked:

Home Menu / Setup / DTV Setup / Software Update / Auto Update / On

You have to be on the DTV input to be able to get into the menus.

Glad I could be of assistanceÿ

Just checked Pioneer website.

Typical, there is no aerial lead going into it now as I have upgraded from just sky to sky+hd.

If I just put an aerial lead into the tv as terrestial has been wripped out the house now do you think this would work it so I can switch the update off??
