Updates

Your HDS-600RS can be updated in three ways:

 Automatically, over the air via the Satellite signal.

 Automatically, over your Internet connection.

 Manually: download the update from www.myechostar.com/support,

saving it onto a memory stick and then applying it yourself.

Over the Air Updates

Over the Air (OTA) updates, with new channel and transmission information,

are provided by freesat from time to time. The HDS-600RS receives these

automatically. A pop-up message will be displayed on screen when an update

is available.

Internet Software Updates

From time to time, Echostar will issue software updates. When a new version

of the HDS-600RS software is available, a pop-up message is displayed on

screen. Follow the instructions to download and install the update (requires an

active Internet connection).

Manual Software Update

You can manually update the HDS-600RS by following the steps below:

1. Visit www.myechostar.com/support to locate the latest software.

2. Copy the update file to an empty USB memory stick.

3. Insert the USB memory stick into either the front or rear USB ports (see

page 8). The screen will display a message confirming that the USB

memory stick has been detected and shows the version number of the

software update.

4. The HDS-600RS will reset and the front panel then displays “Loading…”

followed by “Please wait”.

5. The updating process may take up to 5 minutes. When it is complete, the

HDS-600RS will automatically restart.
