“it was just a remote control trick which i over looked at first…when i went to upgrade from usb storage, iselected the .bin which i downloaded which is about ( 3.1mb) then pressed ok to begin upgrade but the error would popup…but instead of pressing ‘ok’ on the selected .bin file, there was an instruction at the botton of my screen to press a key to download from the .bin, when i did that, another separate file was created and automatically saved on my usb called ‘flashfile.bin'(8.1mb) and its the one i used to upgrade successfully.”

When the decoder notifies you of the completion of the upgrade, turn it off then on again. After that, do an automatic scan of the channels. You will notice that you are not prohibited from viewing any channel.
