Most receivers that I am familiar with can be updated ONLY with a null modem cable. Please be advised that flashing with the wrong firmware s/w can damage your receiver. So make sure that you have the right s/w and try to get a translation of the Porugese post before proceeding any further. | |||

| I don't think that the receiver model is known here. Hope that I am wrong ![]() There is a Portugese forum section, so it is now a question of trying to translate what you saw. Try posting just the portugese piece (if it is not copyrighted or doesn't have any forbidden material such as keys, etc.) and hopefully someone might help. | ||

You are correct, I know there was an Italian forum i once came across that was doing some stuff with it but I think they had limited success and I lost the link to it last year. It may be worth spending time on google trying different word combinations to see if the forum is still there | ||
