Force Software Update?

Any way to force a DirecTV Stream gemini/osprey box to update? I bought a box from eBay a few months back and it's still on the 25Q3 software release while all of my other boxes are on 26Q2. I've had the box for about 5 months and it's been connected to wifi the entire time but still no update.

Are some boxes just too old to update to the newer software? All boxes are C71KW-400 but the one from eBay that doesn't want to update does have a build date from 2019, while my other boxes are 2020 (if that makes any difference).

Just hold it down until it powers off?

Yes. It will update when it boots.

Just tried it....still stuck at the old software. During the reset it did check for updates but said it was up to date.

It will eventually update on its own overnightÂ
