== Flashing From Serial Null Modem Cable ==# Obtain a copy of "Downloader" which is the program that will be used to flash the unit# Turn off receiver from switch in back# Launch "Downloader" on the PC# Click STB -> Connect Config for Com x (x = correct com port)# Click STB -> Download file (PC->STB)# Now select the correct bin from your PC file system (there may only be one)# After the Data Transfer window appears, switch on the receiver from the rear switch# It is important that you DO NOT DISTURB the unit and wait patiently for the flash process to complete# The receiver will reboot itself after a few minutes. == Flash Process Hiccups ==Sometimes it takes a few minutes for autoroll to successfully find the key.  After you flash the unit and hook it back up, simply be patient and wait up to 10 minutes before you are concerned there is a problem.If you just flashed the receiver you may note the signal is not available right away.  Just wait a few minutes for the black screen to go away.  Again, this is likely due to autoroll.  You may have to reboot after several minutes (wait 10 minutes) for reception.The first time setup only you will need to: Go into your Menu, then to System Settings. Now scroll down to User Options. Click on that and then turn on Channel Number by SID and Sort by SID. My first attempt put a “2” in front of every channel eg. 2400, not 400. Then Press the “SAT” button on your remote and then select the satellite provider name, this sinks up channel numbers. This was the easy fix for the channel # correction and only have to do the "SAT" button fix from now on after every update.EPG = channel guide listing downloaded. For best results to populate EPG. Try putting channel on 200 or 195 and let it sit for about 5 minutes and it should populate about 3 days. But it is impossible to get more then that. Because some providers do not do 7 day EPG.
