14. Software Upgrade

14.SoftwareUpgrade

In order to maintain proper performance of the product, it is essential to have the most up-to-date software.

14.1 OTA (Over the Air)

OTA, an abbreviation of Over–the-Air, is a standard for the transmission of software through a broadcast system.
OTA is simply an alternative method for downloading software versions. However, the manufacturers reserve the right for deciding the

release of the software for their products by beaming the latest software versions over the air via satellite. Note that OTA is only limited to
certain geographical regions mainly due to different antennas having different footprints(area where the signal can be received). The
software update via satellite will only occur under the following circumstances.

**

1. The equipment should have appropriate loader software.

Caution: Please note that if normal loader software is not equipped, the product may not be updated or operate

properly after software update.

2. The manufacturer decides to release the software via a designated satellite.

3. The equipment must be tuned properly to the same antenna equivalent to that of the manufacturer.

4. Update software when the signal strength and quality is high. If the weather is not favorable, and the signal strength and quality are

not recommendable, perform the software update later.

**

Caution:

• Please be careful to keep the power on and the power cord plugged in during software update. If the power is off during software

update, fatal damage may be caused to the product.

• Please be careful not to pull out the signal line (LNB cable) during software update. Update may be interrupted and the product may

not operate.

**

Note

• Other functions will not activate while software update takes place.

• It may take 5 ~10 minutes to update software.

• Scheduling operation cannot work during software update.

GB 47

14. Software Upgrade

Updating software is largely divided into two ways, automatic and manual search in MENU-System Settings-System
Information-Software Upgrade.

Select Automatic Search to search pre-defined DIGITURK TPs for new software automatically. When new software is available to
download, the product will be automatically powered off and on.

If new software is not found by automatic update, use manual update.
For more information about how to set the manual search, refer to 5.2.2 Manual Search.
