To update first save your user data from the menu USB Backup.
Save your softcam.key file from Conditional access / key edit (6666) /"Export"

Then USB Upgrade and select the software .bin you unpacked from the downloaded file.
If you use the "ALL code" option it does a factory reset as it upgrades, recommended.
If you select "Main Code only" it upgrades and leaves the user data in the unit.
Then "Import" your Softcam.key and USB Upgrade "User data" your user data.

Freesat boxes will auto roll most powervu channels, except MTN A F N and Sony. they changed Hash mode.
Auto roll means the unit finds the code it self.

As for setting up your channels there are some instruction here that may help.
