I just realized that there might be a way to avoid this. 

Try setting the Software Updates setting in SBS
Settings/Advanced/Software to Don't check for software updates. I'm
not completely sure this will work but when I look at the code it looks
like it might.

To get information about new updates and be able to install them, you
will need to change this setting and restart SBS and it should then
show up on the Touch after it has been downloaded from
mysqueezebox.com. After the firmware upgrade, you will need to change
back the above mentioned setting so it doesn't check for new
firmwares.

If this doesn't work, I'll publish a patch which you can install
through Patch Installer applet that just gets rid of the notification
on the Touch, but I'd prefer that we use the official solution unless it
doesn't work.

As I've understood it, any users only using the built-in server
(TinySC) in the Touch will only get official firmware upgrades when
there is a new official release, so for these the notification is
probably not a problem.

Come to think of it, you're right.  It does disable the updates.  Now
that I recall, there was one very vocal beta tester who was
disappointed that this option disabled not only the check for server
updates, but also Touch and Radio firmware updates.

[SlimDevices: Touch] Is there a way to turn off the automatic software update screen?

Not that I mind having new and improved updates showing up, but is there
a way to configure the Touch so that the software updates can be ignored
until the user decides to install? I want to keep from having the update
panel popping up automatically.

I think you can install the official 7.5.0 release if you don't want the
firmware upgrades. I don't think there is any way to avoid them if you
like to run the latest 7.5.1 nightly release.

I've had some idea to look if it's possible to patch it so it doesn't
show the notification unless there is at least 2 weeks since the last
upgrade.
