Over The Air Software Download
Upgrades involve replacing the software (programs) in the STU with
improved software, adding more features and improving the existing
operation of the STU. This ensures that the STU does not have to be
replaced each time advances in technology occur. By replacing the
software, you virtually get a new STU.
Software upgrades normally take place automatically over-the-air. The
STU can be upgraded when it is in standby or while it is switched to a
service. The STU software cannot be upgraded if it is switched off at
the mains. It is strongly recommended that your STU is left in the
standby mode when you are not using it.
A message on the TVscreen will warn you that a software upgrade
will take place. Software upgrades usually take place in the early
morning and last approximately 9 minutes, during which time normal
satellite viewing is not possible. After the download is completed, the
STU will automatically return to the current service.
NOTE:
1. Whilst the STU is performing the Upgrade, never
remove power from the STU as this will stop the
upgrade process and will cause your STU to stop
functioning normally.
2. During the upgrade an Amber light will be
displayed on the front of the STU with numbers
and a rotating cursor.
