Costar update timing

Given how sensitive the system gets when running in Costar mode, it would be helpful if it was mindful of when to do updates. I know in larger installs this could be complicated to schedule, but maybe give the option of a message to the user or dealer if the system hasn't been able to get a few minutes of alone time after trying for a week.

If you are watching something on the Premiere side when the Encore side tries to update, then it will throw a fit (somewhat understandably, since that is where the commands are being routed through) and you lose content/command until it finishes. A bit oddly, the reverse also happens, when the Premiere side updates while watching content from the Encore side (throws to the "lost connection with joined player" screen.) Still not as frightening as watching a bunch of vaults suddenly go amber when happening to be standing nearby as an update is pushed to them without warning, but definitely more irritating.

Bonus points for just patching it to not care about why the other side goes down (at least until you try to hit the menu,) but at least keeping the system from causing its own problems would be a great start.
Thanks.
