[palacios302]

Hello newb here. Just a quick question. How do I download the latest software to my 811 receiver. Thanks

 

[gvsurn]

did you just get the receiver???

 

[palacios302]

No. I have had it since early Jan.

 

[palacios302]

By the way I have software version 262.

 

[gvsurn]

it will download it automatically.... you can see if any upgrades are available buy going to the menu then choice 6 then choice 4. the current version is 265

 

[gvsurn]

menu then 6 then 1 then 2, choose download automatically

And then, turn the 811 off with your remote for 15 minutes. It will then automatically download the latest software.

I checked upgrades available, and it says none are available.

 

[gvsurn]

did you check to see if you have the upgrades automatically or does it have to ask you????

 

[gvsurn]

choose auto then shut it off for 15 mins

 

[palacios302]

Do I have to unplug the 811 or just turn off with remote? Also I setup the 811 to download without permission. Is this correct?

 

[gvsurn]

you should be good to go

 

[palacios302]

Turn offed 811 for 15 minutes, still have same software. When I turn on it just gets "acquring signal" nothing else

 

[gvsurn]

i got my 811 after the first software upgrade and all i did was exactly what you did. you can try unplugging it.

 

[palacios302]

I unplugged the 811 re plugged, liet it sit and I still have the same software. This sucks
