BCD436HP/BCD536HP: Database and firmware don't upgrade.

[Hit_Factor]

As @buddrousa mentioned above... Who is your ISP (Internet Service Provider)...
Some ISP's block the FTP protocal that the Uniden servers use to update Sentinel's database and scanner firmware...

Which ISPs block FTP traffic?

RR is not blocked, its Uniden that people have issue connecting to. Some ISP block FTP ports I believe. For some, creating a hotspot thru cell phone has worked.

Don't know why but everything is working fine since this morning. I swear I didn't do anything. Thanks for your support guys. Take care.

Remote chance that your version of Sentinel
doesn't like Windows 11.

Sentinel works fine on Windows 11.

Sentinel works fine on Windows 11.

Works fine now and part of it was a Windows problem. As to the rest, I don't know.

The ISP I see most often when people have Sentinel update issues is T-Mobile Home Internet.
I know others have been mentioned but t-mobile was the most mentioned by far.
Charter (Spectrum) has been mentioned but I've never had an issue with Spectrum in my area. Same when I had at&t DSL, no issues there either.

HughesNet and Spectrum off the top o my head...
There are threads in the Uniden forums that this is talked about...

I'm on the old Centurylink now Brightspeed...
I have no problems with FTP with them...
