Strange My Volume will not work!
Wonder if this is from the Upgrade for Rocket?
Gary
I tried going back to r14 and still the volume will not work, so it is something to do with rocket. I guess we have to just wait.
Gary
r14 and r16 and r17 are all still available right there thru your mag receiver.... I just checked and they are all there 
depending where you are at in the menu screens, get into the Inner Portal.
If you are in Live TV and Video Club viewing menus, then scroll over till you see the Settings tab and scroll down and in there is a 'Go to Inner Portal' option.
Then into the next Settings tab you will see there.
Then in there ensue it shows...
Autoupdate : With Confirmation
Update beta versions = On
Then use the green button on remote (update Manually).
Then with New Version slot highlighted, use the bottom left hand button on your remote (as pictured on that New Version slot). That function will bring up any and all versions available.
Mag does do a reboot automatically after a file has been loaded, but there is also a Reboot Device option, shown in that Settings tab menu.
It may fix that Audio issue.

they are referring to the Linux kernel
Every Operating System has a core kernel, windows has their own, linux has their own and so on...
The Kernel is the core of a computer's operating system, with complete control over everything in the system.
It is the first program loaded on start-up. It handles the rest of start-up as well as input/output requests from software, translating them into data-processing instructions for the central processing unit.
When they say kernel update is needed, it just means that they want you to load the new file for the added features or fixed issues.
