You need a loader file (on the Echostar site - or its on the Utilities section here as well on the "Loaders" thread)

Plus a connection cable. Probably a null modem cable for an Echo.

Switch off your receiver

Connect your serial lead from your PC's com port to the Echostar

In the Echostar loader, select your com port and baud rate.

Switch on your receiver

Select the Download tab,click on Browse and find your software update (1000?)

Switch receiver to standby, and then to on.

Wait for download to complete. Don't press any buttons while it's downloading!

Click OK in the loader menu, Sswitch the receiver off and remove your cable.
