I don't believe the firmware update every changed the affiliate. The firmware checks the affiliate weekly during a sync and corrects it as needed. If you are one of the people who keep WiFi off, then the only time the affiliate can be checked is when you turn on WiFi to get the firmware update.

There is a method to block the affiliate checking. It is done by a config file change setting the timestamp to something in the future.
