Write it to your USB stick using the Channel Data Transfer option in S/W update.

i've already done channel data transfer (EU_CHDB.dnl)
but i thought that's only a copy of name of satellites,frequencies,e.g.
is-it also called firmware ?
can u explain what use of loader and firmware?

can u explain what use of loader and firmware?

loader is the software to download the firmware from PC (USB) to STB
firmware is the operative system of STB
channel data just contains a list of predefined satellites and channels

latest loader is v1.50

I've got every firmware from 1.07 to 1.30

1.30 is the latest official firmware

you can download loader and firmware from _http://www.fortecstar.com/downloads/

So there are 3 differents items :
loader.dnl (software)
firmware.dnl (O.S.)
EU_CHDB.dnl (Datas)
is it right?

Yes, danit is correct. It was late, and I was working from memory.
