This function can upgrade the software of your receiver through data
sent by a satellite. We offer satellite updates only through ASTRA1
and Hotbird satellites.

PID.
2. Mark "Start" and press [Enter] to begin the download of the
upgrade. This may need up to 60 minutes, therefore we suggest

this time.

message "OK to Proceed".
3. Press [OK] again and you will see the message "Ready to Download".
4. In the PC application, set the Baud Rate to 115200 and start the download procedure.
! Caution: The new download channels will delete the original
channels list. Please be careful before using it.
