Do I have the latest software version on my display and receiver?

Software updates for Gen4 displays (4600 v2, 4640, 4240, 42000) are brought out three times a year.  No further development is being done for GreenStar 3 or GreenStar 2 displays.  Both StarFire 3000 and StarFire 6000 receivers require a mandatory update prior to 31st of January, 2021.
