'Free' software updates?.... they are usually fixing bugs that they don't admit to- some do have better features too. Check the version number is the same as the update (and was older before you did it).

thanks for replay

The version date is October 23 , 2008 . But as I said I cant see any signifecant difference between the old and new version neither feature nor channels . I am not so experienced in this issue but it is only for my information .

My System: IDD CI24 ECONO MM Penta 1.20 Galaxy II 1.2Mtr Polar MTG yes it has been on the arc for 21 years and is still driven by a modified wiper motor from a Ford Anglia. It's like me sometimes groans but always performs

Well

The update may as previously stated fix bugs, but it may contain updated tp information and parameters and other individual satellite information updates, so you should still do a scan to ensure you are receiving all the channels you can

strong 4620x software update

Dear Simmonz

The required update is (SRT4620X_4651X_4654X_171p_20081022.stb)
you can find it either on this Website .otherwise, you can search for it on the internet.

But you have to ensure that required file version is (1.71P) dated 20081022

I undersatnd that this web do not allow to mention any other sites names . just in case if they allow to disclose it I had find it in crosat.org

regards
