Release Notes: DSAM 4.5.3 firmware fixes a few customer scenarios discovered since the release of v4.5.1 firmware. These situations include low throughput results when a significant delay (lag) is present between the DSAM and throughput server and incorrect ISDB-T readings for those units equipped with ISDB-T hardware. It is recommended to upgrade to v4.5.3 if either of these scenarios are likely to occur or if the DSAM is at a firmware version earlier than v4.5.1.
