In order to update your Set-top Box software, please follow the following steps:
1) Install the software on your PC by copying the file named "----.exe" to any desired
directory. You should also copy the STB program binary file(s) to this same directory. The
STB program binary file has a " .bin" extension.
2) Connect a serial cable from the PC to the STB.
3) Power off the STB by disconnecting the power cable if you have not already done so.
4) Run the download software on the PC by executing " ----.exe".
5) On the PC, select the COM port to which the cable is attached (COM1, 2, 3, or 4).
6) Click "Load", then select the desired binary (.bin) file, then "Open"
7) Click "Connect" on the menu of serial program.
8) Power on the STB
9) Leave the "clear channel list" set on the Option item. Only click on "keep channel list" if
you confirm that the software version is compatible with your previous version's channel list.
I recommend using “clear channel list” for safety.
At this point, the STB should start receiving the updated software being downloaded from the
PC. There will be no indication on the STB (the TV screen will be blank and there will be no
display on the front panel), but the PC should show a progress bar indicating the downloading
is in operation. When the operation is complete, the PC will say "’Download complete’ and
‘Power off STB and disconnect serial cable’ ". The STB will restart using the newly
downloaded software. You may now disconnect the serial cable and close the serial
download program on your PC. The download process is now complete.
If you get an error message on your PC, try again by doing the following:
1) Unplug the STB
2) Press "Connect" again on the PC
3) Plug the STB back in again
If this does not work, check to be sure that the cable is properly connected and that you have
selected the proper COM port. If you still can't get it to work, try lowering the speed.
