Installing new DVB software

To ensure your DVB-S receiver is always performing at the state of the art, newly developed software versions are made available from time to time; these are broadcast via satellite and can be automatically installed on your set (only possible via ASTRA1).

Software is recognised automatically

The set can determine whether a new software version is available. This occurs at night when your EPG is automatically updated. For this, your TV set has to remain in the standby mode (do not switch off using the on/off button on the set).

If a new software version has been found, the set will indicate this with an on-screen message the next time the set is switched on: You can decide whether or not you want to download the new software.

Do not switch your set off during this time. This process may take up to one hour. You will be informed when the process is completed.
