Please update Freesat V8 Golden Firmware (11/10/2017). It is a repeat of the 23/09/2017 firmware. Please check the details after downloading.

I try upgrade new firmware on 11-10-2017 many time found error shown "Don't Downgrade the firmware".
next I change name to flash.bin , switch off and turn on both press menu remote repeating for upgrade file but seem like that work.

check menu information occur same old version.

What is trouble this new firmware?

I still don't understand what to do. The file you uploaded is simply a repeat of the previous firmware. Can it be corrected to avoid the stress users would have to go through with your explanation, which is not clear? Thanks.

V8 super I try new update firmware is work, no problem.

Hi. I am not talking about V8 Super but V8 Golden firmware.
Do you mean I can load the V8 Super firmware in my V8 Golden box?
I need to get a firm clarification so I don't spoil my box.
Thank you.

I think they may have changed encryption type as it does not show up as director here any longer on my receiver.
Someone else will have to verify but now it just shows up as "?" on encryption.

Interesting, hope someone may help with this update, thanks for answer

I experienced the same thing, I downloaded the firmwere file 11/10/2017 from this forum. and the result is no change after check in softwere information. not the new firmwere, but the same firmwere as before v4.5.115.578. maybe admin uploaded wrong to the forum? please check the files that have been uploaded and upgdare in v8 golden you. it's not a new version which it says version 581

YES THE FIRMWARE OF V8 GOLDEN OF 11/10/2017 IS NOT A NEW FIRMWARE IS THE FIRMWARE OF 23/09/2017. PLEASE FREESAT TEAM DEVELOP A NEW FIRMWARE FOR V8 GOLDEN.

A que esperamos para volver a subir el archivo 581 golden correcto y no estar volviendo loca a la gente ????????? ...

@Eak_Dumnerm, is it possible to reload the firmware with a new date and format?
It is a problem the team is aware of, but they have been silent since I raised it.
Please help out before the weekend games.

No big deal can wait as they are now busy with the exhibition.

Also confirm it's the same between v.581 and v.578, possible admin or someone be confused. Really new version be releasing soon.

FREESAT TEAM WHY FREESAT V8 GOLDEN LEFT BEHIND FOR A NEW SOFWARE. STILL NOW YOU HAVE NOT RELEASE ANEW SOFTWARE AND POST FILE OF 23/09/2017, AND YOU NOT REMOVE THE FILE CUSTOMER A STILL DOWNLOAD LONG FILE,ARE USED TIME,DATA FOR INTERNET THIS IS LONG. WHY YOU DID THIS?

It's so disrespectful for the Freesat service team to be silent about the demands from its numerous customers for a proper firmware for over a week now. I am beginning to regret buying their product. The other satellite box companies give fantastic support to their customers.

I tested yesterday using a Hex compare program and found that the 581 version on the download page yesterday is identical to 578 software.

Lining Please note that V8 Golden V581 is a copy of 578.

Edited early Wednesday 18th Oct 2017
FIXED! The current copy V581 on the Download page is V581 and works MTN.

@dktan, where is its location?

@dktan, Thanks, same location with 17/10/2017 date after extraction.

Hello everyone,
I tried downloading the new sw, but it seems that there is a issue on it. I always get don't downgrade message as people as seen previously.
As well as that, I tried the hard boot way, with renamed as flash.bin, it shoes the message on screen menu. But once it restarted, it's the same old version. Do you have any new version that works flawlessly? I guess I am not the only one....
Thanks in advance. Please make a new version, that works straight out the box in terms of upgrading, just with USB connected, and no "downgrading message", that would be the solution.
