My System: Cuberevo Twin HD on a 85cm motorised Fracarro Penta dish. Superior Dark Motor. Inverto BLACK Ultra Single lnb (IDLP-SINL40-ULTRA-OPP) | Put the firmware on the USB stick. Turn off the Passion from the mains. Put in the USB stick. Turn on the passion. Press OK and OK again and it will start to load. Wait until the firmware has loaded, it will reboot. remove the USB. Remember to save your channel list, however, if your firmware is that old, they channel saving system was changed in the last few updates and you'll prbably have to do a factory reset and set the channels up again. | ||

My System: Motorised 95cm dish Fortec Star Passion+ Metronic Touch box 3 Nokia Sat 800 Vista Home | Hi Just bought a Passion+ from Maplin and Loader is V1.5.0 with software V1.0.0 dated 02/May/2008! I have downloaded the latest Software.dated 13/10/2009,but having read this warning on the FS website ..... "Instructions For Downloading Software to Your Fortec Star Satellite Receiver Warning: To avoid invalidating your warranty, contact your dealer to have a Fortec Star trained technician upload software to your receiver. Only a Fortec Star trained technician is authorized to upgrade software. Should a receiver be returned for repair under warranty which has had software loaded or upgraded by anyone other than an authorized Fortec Star technician, the warranty will be null and void and the receiver will be retuned freight collect to the sender in the same condition it was received. Only the original software and the upgrade software available on this Web site can be used with your Fortec Star receiver. Under no circumstances, can any other software be used with a Fortec Star receiver." I am a little nervous about upgrading .. I have loaded the software to a USB stick assuming that as my firmware is current, I wouldn't need it ? Also I couldn't find any specific download instructions on their site for this model. | ||

There's been no new firmware since V.1.5.0 that I'm aware of. Don't worry too much about that warning. As long as you upload the right firmware using the correct procedure, you have nothing to be concerned about. | ||
