Welcome,

To perform an over the air software update follow the procedure below:

>Unplug receiver from mains
>Press and hold back up button on front of receiver and plug power back in
>Hold back up button until all lights remain on (approx 20 sec), then let go
>Leave until this has finished
>Wait a further minute for re-boot and then bring box out of standby

You will need to call sky to pair the card to the new box. For subs Hd content, you'll need an Hd package subscription.
