Updating your firmware is easy to do, takes hardly any time at all, and should leave your Insignia television running better than the day you took it out of the box.

Step 5

Turn your Insignia television on. The 'F/W USB Upgrade' dialogue box will appear on your television screen.

Step 6

Warnings

• While the firmware upgrade is installing on your television, do not press buttons on your remote control or on your Insignia television console until the process is complete.
• Insignia recommends downloading firmware on computers running at least Windows XP operating system, or the Mac 10.3 operating system.
