prevent IRD software upgrades

[TinaMarie]

Is there a good FAQ or central source of info on how to 'fix' your
winked IRD so it doesn't take software upgrades?

Is it possible that if your IRD stops taking software upgrades, it
eventually might stop working if DSS changes the format of the
satellite signals?

Just curious, before I setup my HDTV stuff...

Look in the 5th Generation forums area. Also search for " Winked" or "Plakner's mod." There is tons of info on this here at the Den.
