Abstract
Disclosed herein are system, method, and computer program product embodiments for a media device upgrading system over a wireless network. An embodiment operates by determining an app has been installed on a media device and that the media device is connected to an upgrader device over a wireless network connection. A command to execute functionality of the app from a remote control is received. It is determined that a speed of the wireless network connection exceeds a threshold. The command is transmitted to the upgrader device based on both the determination that the upgrader mode is active and the determination that the speed of the wireless network connection exceeds a threshold. At the media device, a response from the upgrader device executing the command is received at the media device, which directs the media device to output content associated with the app.
