What actually software updating do ?

[elgazzar52]

I have Strong Receiver srt 4620x . I have download the last software update. nothing has changed .

So , is the softare update add new features or funtcions to the system? . Or , just adding new channels which can be easily added by scanning the satellite without need to update the software ?

thanks in advance

'Free' software updates?.... they are usually fixing bugs that they don't admit to- some do have better features too. Check the version number is the same as the update (and was older before you did it).

thanks for replay

The version date is October 23 , 2008 . But as I said I cant see any signifecant difference between the old and new version neither feature nor channels . I am not so experienced in this issue but it is only for my information .

The update may as previously stated fix bugs, but it may contain updated tp information and parameters and other individual satellite information updates, so you should still do a scan to ensure you are receiving all the channels you can

Dear Simmonz

The required update is (SRT4620X_4651X_4654X_171p_20081022.stb)
you can find it either on this Website .otherwise, you can search for it on the internet.

But you have to ensure that required file version is (1.71P) dated 20081022

I undersatnd that this web do not allow to mention any other sites names . just in case if they allow to disclose it I had find it in crosat.org

regards

pls note. the last manufacturer software update was on April 15 . unfortunately and for some unknown reasons it has some pugs . the most accurate one is what I mentioned above (SRT4620X_4651X_4654X_171p_20081022.stb)

Regards

if you have download the update file and setted it up , Please ensure to re-scan the sattelte again ( using the Auto scan option founded in your system ) since the old channels will be gone due to installing the new software.
