Looks like one way or another, a PC is introduced.
My Philips DVD recorder requires a PC to download the
upgrade files and then burn a CD-ROM. The CD-ROM is
then simply played in the recorder and it does its
thing, showing you the progress on its local LED
display. Or in principle, Philips can ship the CD.
Perhaps, once ATSC has been operating for a suitable
period of time, the stations will datacast upgrades to
receivers? Seems like a natural for any device with
and ATSC receiver built in, no?
