[TV] [Orlando, Fl] SA 8300HD Firmware Update Not Installing

About a week ago I started getting a pop-up notice that my Scientific Atlanta Explorer 8300HD had a new firmware update and to press "enter" to accept & install. Well, there is no "enter" button on the remote or the box. I've tried rebooting using the power button and also removing the power cable but after turning the box off and then turning it on again I get the same pop-up.

I called Bright House tech support and asked them if they could force the firmware update. The technician did something to my account which resulted in a "not authorized" message! Then he had to call a supervisor to re-provision my account. That done, I figured I was ok and the firmware had updated, but again, this morning, when I turned the set on, the same pop-up message is there again asking me to update by pressing "enter."

Any ideas?

Yes we need to get that box replaced...no way around that. I can make it happen for you or you can call in...your choice.

Well maybe I'll just live with it unless something else gives out. I have the Olympics in 3D recorded pending my upgrading our setup with a 3D panel some time this spring; I'd hate to lose that with a trade-in.

No please do not...you really need that update so get it swapped.
As for the 3D stuff sorry.... you can wait until you watch that stuff but immediately after get it swapped.
