nokia 9800s updating.

[Shahid]

I am quite confused about this software stuff. I thought it's the Nokia's duty to send updates to there digiboxes.
Is my nokia9800s not up to scratch?

Sky for example update my Amstrad drx100 digibox.

Actually, most manufacturers do NOT enforce software updates, they offer it as an option - i.e. the user can decide when and whether to download via satellite or upload from pc the new versions. Most enthusiasts prefer it that way too (wouldn't you rather be in control yourself?).

Sky, Canal+ and a few others who are not only equipment providers but also content providers (i.e. they broadcast the chanels) have a policy of forced updates. This is probably for a combination of reasons. First, it gives THEM control of the box, so that (for example) software can be employed to defeat piracy. Second, it better addresses the needs of their mass market. After all, most Sky viewers are non-technical and not in the slightest bit interested in retaining control over the software in their box.
