[mythtv-users] How to get DCT-2xxx firmware upgraded?

I have Comcast cable and a DCT-2524/1612 STB.

I want to use the serial port on the back to change the channels for
my MythTV system.

I can get a reaction when I run the changechannel.py script, but it is
not correctly setting the STB to the channel specified.

Checking the STB, I found the firmware is only 3.38!!!! and needs to
be >= 7.54 according to the MythTV wiki article "DCT2000serial".



So...

Is this something that can be done as a download over the cable and
the "customer service representative" is in over their head when they
claim there is no such thing, or

Do I need to play the Comcast lottery with other boxes at the local
office until I get one that will work, or

Is there another way?

Craig.
