Hi there mbakhali! My name is Kimberly and I form part of the Social Media Department with DISH. Depending on the model of receiver you have, yes. If you are getting a daily message on your screen informing you that the system will perform an update we advice you to select 'Yes' on the message for the system to update its guide and download any necessary software updates. If you have additional questions, feel free to reach me at: [email protected] for further assistance. Thank you in advance.
