Firmware for satellite receivers improves the performance of these devices. Sometimes the installation of certain software allows you to watch some channels without purchasing special cards and entering keys.
Necessary
- - Golden-interstar Upgrade;
- - null modem cable.
Instructions
Step 1
To flash the receiver using a personal computer, you need a special null modem cable. Use it to connect the receiver to the COM port of your computer. These ports are present in most of the system units, tk. they used to be used to connect printers and similar devices. The receiver must be turned off!
Step 2
Download the Golden-interstar Upgrade program. Better to use a version no lower than 2.0. Select and download the actual firmware for the receiver. Approach this process very responsibly. Remember that installing the wrong firmware can completely damage your receiver.
Step 3
Run the Golden-interstar Upgrade program. In the main menu, specify the number of the COM port to which you connected the receiver. Select the baud rate for the specified channel. Better not to change this parameter. The firmware will not take much time to save on this. Select the type of components to install. You can completely replace the software, install a new channel list or activate keys. It all depends on the selected firmware. Better to use the Program Only parameter.
Step 4
Now select the direction of data transfer. Because you are installing new firmware, select Download mode. Click the Download button located in the File menu and select the firmware file. Open the Options menu and check the box next to Clear Channel List or Save Channel List.
Step 5
Press the "Connect" button and after 1-2 seconds turn on the receiver by connecting it to the AC mains. Wait for the window that says Upgrade Complete to appear. Do not under any circumstances perform any actions with the receiver or the program during the firmware. Click the Ok button, close the program and disconnect the receiver from the computer.
