I am beginner

Post by captainblackcigar »

I have just acquired a freesat V7 max box and I need someone to tell me exactly and clearly step by step how to upgrade the software on it. What do I do, do I need a usb stick or usb cable from box to computer?

Is upgrading it necessary, because it seems to work ok out of the box.

1-download the latest firmware from download section;
2-unzip the file & save the bin file onto a usb;
3-insert the usb into the box: you will get a message to upgrade: click on NO for now;
4-go to usb menu & save the database onto the usb;
5-go to key section and export all keys to usb;
6-go back to usb menu and chose upgrade ALL; the box will restart;
7-go to usb menu and upgrade the database from usb; do the same on the key section by choosing import.
Nihil sine Deo!

Hi

On the main forum page you will see the Download Center
In the Download Center you will see a section called Freesat V7
In that there is the Freesat V7 Max new Frimware
The new software is listed as Freesat_V7_Max_20170524.rar

".rar" files are compressed so they take less time to download on the internet. You need a program on you computer to "Extract" the file. Older computers may not have this software.
To Extract the file you right click on it while you are in the folder of YOUR computer that you have downloaded it to.
Follow the instructions to extract it.
When extracted, the file called "Freesat_V7Max.bin" is inside the folder called "FREESAT_V7_MAX_20170524".

It is this "Freesat_V7Max.bin" file you then copy onto your USB stick.

After that you can follow the instructions already given in earlier posts.

If you do not have a .rar extracter on your computer here is a ".zip" copy for you.
