Start Starts the Software upgrade. When the TV screen turns black, the receiver first compares the

current EchoNAV version with the version on the satellite. If the EchoNAV version is the same,

the Software upgrade is aborted and the TV returns to live video.

If a new EchoNAV version is found on the satellite, the receiver starts to download the new

EchoNAV version in temporary memory. When the download is complete, the new EchoNAV

version is written to the receiver memory where it deletes the previous version. This process

can take up to approximately 30 minutes.

The Software upgrade is completed when the TV shows live video.
