How to prevent slingbox from updating firmware automatically?

I have two Slingbox Pro HDs.  One of them is running fine.  The other one seems to have some network issue.  

 

Whenever I try to update the problematic one, it would first disconnect itself after 30 seconds and then if I reconnect, it would play fine.

 

This all happened after the firmware was automatically updated to 2.1.330 recently…

 

I like to revert to the previous firmware 2.1.320 available on this website.  I tried using the old Slingplayer method and the hex edit method.  But when the firmware rollback is done, the slingbox IMMEDIATELY downloads back the latest 2.1.330.

 

Even with the Hex Edit method, I made the 320 FW look like 330 but Slingbox still updates itself from Slingmedia.

 

Is there anything I can do????

You have to go back to an even earlier version. Before they had automatic updates.

I believe version 2.1.60 is the last without auto updates.
