The link is there -- I'll let you do it and tell me how it goes.

Reports on AVS are that it works fine. You have to use an old school CD player with toslink optical out to get it to work right (PS3's, BR players and HD DVD players with optical out appear not to transport the digital signal correctly -- doesn't cause any damage, it just won't do the update). It's unclear if a regular DVD player will work.

I have no urgency on this issue -- the audio lock issue with D* HD DVRs is a minor annoyance. And I don't yet have a bitstreaming BR player, so I don't have the audio bomb issue.
