Curse my smart TV !!!!!!

It just sucked 790MB for whatever reason, probably a firmware update, thought I had all that automatic stuff turned off.
I was doing so good with my allowance for the month, no longer.  :(
Am glad I have my new super duper router though. Saw exactly what did it.
ANother hard lesson learned.

    Same here plus it does not support IPv6, also the version your running. did you get it from the Beta folder? if you did go back to the download page again because there is a final release not in the Beta folder

    >Yea, not really a Hughes problem, just venting at my own stupidity for letting it happen.

    You're being too hard on yourself sgoshe--I don't know how you might have seen that coming, unless as you said up front the TV has a way to turn-off automatic updates. My many iGizmos download updates in the background and I can't find any way to stop this!

    I wonder what earlier-Gen HN customers are suffering these days--any of these updates would have been impossible to get with the older system (200MB/day for mine).

    If HN engineers aren't working feverishly to add some kind of download-tracking mechanism to their modems' firmware, this board is going to choke to death on complaints from customers about bandwidth.
