Firmware Upgrade
If the firmware upgrade was incorrectly place on the USB it will also come up with the “Searching USB Memory Stick...”
message, the difference is the next message will say “SW Image is not present” it will then quickly display the Flash
Verification screen which will last only a few seconds.
S/W Upgrade OTA:
This is Software Upgrade over the air. This will only work if the upgrade is being
broadcast. It can be selected from the “Installation” option in the Main Menu.
Via USB:
One way to perform a firmware upgrade of your receiver is via USB using the USB power in the back.
To do this just follow the instructions below...
1. Download updated firmware from
www.dishtv.co.nz
and extract onto a USB flashdrive in a folder ‘dish_tv’
2. Turn off power to satBox-ultra, insert the flashdrive and power back up.
3. Immediately start repeatedly pressing the “Menu” button on your remote (not holding it down)
The receiver will first display “Load” and if done correctly the display on the front will show “USB” after about 3 seconds.
On screen at the same time it will present a window headed “Software Update through USB”
If the upgrade has been loaded correctly onto the USB flashdrive it will come up with ”SW IMage File Reading in
progress...” straight after it displays “Searching USB Memory stick...”
Then to a couple of loading screens which will take about 3 minutes to complete.
