SKY X, S MODEL X/XX/X2, MAX PLUS and HUB TECH HTS 9300+, GUIDE ON UPDATING SOFTWARE
I finally found out the problem I was facing with updating the Sky X (S model X) digital receiver. So I have made this little guide to help those you face a similar problem.
To begin working with this, you will need the following (For software I have included the sites you can find them from. But if you still wont find them there, email me and I will send the files to you. boot_sectorz*yahoo.com):
1. The downloader (I suggest you use one form: http://www.anzwers.org/free/skyx/index.htm. Or from http://groups.yahoo.com/group/all-digisoft STB-SKYXLoader ver 2.0 is fine)
2. Rs232 cable ( I got one with straight connection, that was my problem. So make sure it is wired in this way: 2=3, 2=3 and 5=5. The wire form pin 2 should connect to pin 3. Null modem cable.)
3. Patches, files, keys, firmware, channels data you want to update with. (You get these from the two sites above also.)
And this is how you do it:
1. Connect RS 232C cable between PC and STB
2. Run STB Loader.exe
3. Browse the new software in your file directory
4. Check COM port
5. Power on your Satellite receiver
6. Click on Connect, and it begins downloading. (It shows downloading status on STB Loader and front panel display of the receiver)
7. After downloading is completed, STB will reset automatically
8. Go to System Information, check the version of your software or channel data. Make sure you power off the receiver.
9. Thank the people you spend time working on these things and email them to make them know it worked for you so they can do better things, and you are done.
If you need to download software on more units, you just leave STB Loader on and turn on the power of the next STB that you wish to download, it will begin downloading automatically.
Warning : Downloading inappropriate software does not accord with model no. of STB may create problem. Make sure correct software name and STB model no. and proceed downloading.
P.S. You can download the file attached (on top of this page). It should have all you need to update.
