Noticed your Facebook post mentions a updated firmware for HD HOMERUNS. How do we install this and what does it do? I have a PRIME. Thank you

The updated firmware comes directly from SiliconDust. Their forum has a changelog:

HDHomeRun Firmware: (20160328atest2)
* Fix possible crash running channel scan.I used the Channels ATV HDHomeRun firmware update function a few days ago in settings. It ran for a bit, then it reported back a error saying that the update had failed and I clicked on OK. Then I was stuck in a loop of “failed”, then “OK”, stuck in ATV, could not get out. I did a power cycle on the HDHOMERUN ( extend). The HDHomerun reports it is at the new firmware release and the Channels ATV app error was cleared when i came back to it. I submitted logs from the app. So, it seems as if it updated even with the error message from Channels.
I went ahead and ran the firmware update from the HDHomeRun config app again, as the unit was suddenly flaky.
All seems fine now, but not the best user experience.
