My guess would be that it's for the Vip622 for AT&T Homezone customers, but that's only a wild guess.

good call, you're probably right, i've never seen firmware updates for it listed on that page in the past. must be a good sign for E* / ATT deal!

That's exactly what it is. Customer's now have the option of having an HD Homezone.

No offense to AT&T, I'm not a big fan of the Homezone. Most power users will have a decent video card whereby they can put most of their downloaded content on a television anyways. The interface is bulky and a major PITA, IMO. I can rant on and on and on...the point is, I'd rather see a person get a cable modem or DSL and utilize whatever options they have if they want to see any d/l'd video content on their TV's.

I have a PC I've built for my living room. Now that I have FIOS downloading content is beautiful and I'm getting so much use out of the HTPC.
