I received new software via email. I saved to usb drive, attached to usb port on device, applied power to device, and waited. how does one know if the firmware was successfully installed? is there a way to query installed firmware?

Records using CVBS but nothing using HDMI I am recording material that I created so there are no possible copyright issues. I am able to record this material using the HD CAP CVBS inputs but have not been able to record anything using the HDMI input. When I tried recording this material using the HDMI input the HDMI LED is solid blue and I am able to view the material on the monitor so the HD CAP is passing the signal but when I press the record button the record light stays off and nothing is recorded to the USB drive.
