SOFTWARE DOWNDOAD (EPG)

PLEASE NOTE! Do not touch the little power plug at the back of the receiver while the power is applied.Any wiggling can cause sparks that may damage the electronics.


This will not work unless the box is receiving a good signal, and SHOULD NOT” be attempted if your signal or signal quality is very low or fluctuating. A software download will occasionally change user settings back to the factory settings.

1.Switch the Sky Box Off at the mains wall socket.

2.Press and hold the “BACK UP” button on the top of the sky box, and switch the mains power back on at the wall socket.

3.Continue to hold the button for 30 seconds or until the LED’s all light (this will depend on the make and model)

4.When this happens you will see a message appear on the screen “UPGRADING

SYSTEM SOFTWARE” (only if you have connected via the TV Scart). On some Sky boxes this can appear as a half screen.

This process will take at least 20 minutes to download the software from the satellite.

If the download and software upgrade take longer than expected do not worry, it can vary depending on the make and model of the Sky Box. Never unplug or switch off during the upgrade.
