ABSTRACT:
A method and apparatus for upgrading software of a video device is disclosed. A software program associated with the video device is downloaded using wireless communication to upgrade the video device. This allows the software program to be more quickly downloaded. The apparatus includes a tuner unit, a storage unit, and a controller. The tuner unit receives a plurality of ROM files into which a software program associated with a video device has been divided. The storage unit stores the received ROM files. The controller reads the stored ROM files and upgrades the video device.
