Hi,

I’ve just dug out an old Horizon Meter and wanted to know if anyone knows how/what I need to do to update all the files TPS & FIRMWARE.

Cheers

Take a look at this thread "Horizon HDSM USB - Latest Firmware and software". SOmewhere there is a link to a settings editor.

Not sure if it will work with all models. The problem with Horizon meters is that they were originally made to download the settings from a web page of Horizon Meters as an executable. You would select/edit the satellites and then download a specifically made executable that would update the meter. Sounds fine and easy, but turns out to be a major blow, now that the Horizon website no longer exists.

A little less analogue, and a lot more crap.

Which model, current firmware, and what do you want from it should it successfully upgrade ?
