DirecTV firmwear update

[Harry Longshanks]

Okay, I know this is waaaayyyy off topic, but I just need to know if I'm losing it a little.

Came home today, turned on the TV, and had a little message that my DirecTV software/firmwear had been updated.

No problem, happens all the time.

But when my DVR started recording Gilmore Girls Terminator 2: Judgment Day, I noticed that the little LED recording light was a different color. It used to be a very light yellow/orange, and now its a dark orange/red.

WTF?!?!? Am I TiVollucinating?

It's possible. LED's can change color . I haven't heard of them changing after a firmware upgrade but hey, there's a first for everything

I can't directly answer your question, but when I did some work for a company who made equipment for streaming video, we sometimes changed LED colours in different versions of firmware. Sometimes because we wanted to indicate a different function, and sometimes just because you can instantly look at the device and know what firmware version it's running.

Looks like I picked the wrong week to quit taking LSD.

And Surefire answered the changing LED colors question.
