Getting Started
Software Updates: CIOtv is an entertainment computer that depends on complex software to run and process
the available audio and video options. To insure that you have the latest CIOtv software, refer to Setup/
System Information from the CIOtv Home Screen. Check the Firmware version against the latest version at
www.winegard.com/ciotv
If the Firmware version is different, you will want to update your CIOtv firmware. This will take a few minutes
and will require an SD media storage card with sufficient capacity (at least 256Mbytes).
If the Firmware version is not current, please update using the following method:
1. Copy latest firmware version from the Winegard website to your SD card at the top level directory (i.e. not
in a sub directory).
2. Insert SD card into CIOtv – then turn power on (wait for screen to appear that says CIO update - DO NOT
REMOVE SD CARD OR POWER DOWN DURING THE ENTIRE UPDATE PROCESS).
3. Before timer count expires, press DVD eject button to start the firmware update. The status of the CIO FW
update will appear.
4. You should see the first step of the update process, which is the file being transferred from the SD card to
the CIO. This will progress from 0% to 100%.
