The base firmware updates on the Sky box but the operating system settings remain the same

The base firmware on the V and V+ updates the operating system settings remain the same

The guy told me ( and as I said it could be bull plop) the base firmware updates and some of the operating system settings are lost

Is that clear and understandble for you Mr Tiger??

I'm not disputing anything you said, merely pointing out a motherboard firmware update will rest to factory default thus wont recognise any operating system untill you tell it by changing bios settings, and different products update individually and it may take a firmware update on tivo to tell itself to remember the previous settings of the user.
