[QUOTE="jeallen01, post: 1055728, member: 176704"] For the newbies to the forum, you need to understand that there are TWO VERY DIFFERENT versions of the 6906, but Paul's f/w upgrade applies ONLY to the early version - and if you have the later version [I](which you probably do have if you bought it within the last 3 years or so)[/I] then using the early version will cause a major issue by "locking it", but that can be cleared by doing a Factory Reset. This pdf shows the front panels of the Early and Late versions of the 6906 [URL='https://www.dropbox.com/s/ulqrwrq919t2gv1/WS6906%20buttons%20-%20Early%20%26%20Late%20models.pdf?dl=0']Dropbox - WS6906 buttons - Early & Late models.pdf[/URL] I ran into the same issue myself, but finally solved it earlier this year - and then created a replacement f/w upgrade bin file which [B]does[/B] work on the later version, and mentioned that in another thread. However, for simplicity, I am repeating the critical info from that thread here, as follows: The bin file that I created after I reset my 6906 to remove the "Lock" light, and then entered transponders on the strongest beams for the UK a number of European satellites (In Jan 2018) is here: [URL='https://www.dropbox.com/s/1odzg9djn9ymjcx/2018-01-04%20Data%20Dump%203.bin?dl=0']Dropbox - 2018-01-04 Data Dump 3.bin[/URL] Hopefully, that will allow a locked late-version 6906 to be reset and to load that reasonably current satellite and transponder database.
