Download/unzip the latest fix and save it onto USB flash drive.
Connect the USB flash drive to USB port in receiver.
Go to "System Information" than select "Receiver Upgrade."
Select USB and press OK button.

Select the FIRMWARE upgrade file and press OK.

Red face Re: Step By Step Flashing Instructions For Ultra

Hello....I just got my VS Ultra last weekend and just so scared to touch it that I may blow it or what not. I have several questions and here's hoping that you may help me. I've read thru the discussions, even followed arboritsman's? link on faqs and keys, but I still am not sure how to go about it. Like setting up the receiver, flashing, antenna and such. I used to have a DirecTV so whatever dish came with that package is the kind I have on my roof. That video tutorial on antenna is kinda cool and interesting. Now, here's the deal:
1. That flashing instruction seems easy enough but is that all I need to do to set up my receiver?
2. And what FIRMWARE (not exactly sure what this is...checked the glossary and every time it gives me a definition, it just gives me another technical term that I have to look up) do I need to upload in my USB?
3. Does it matter which USB port I use (front or back)?
4. Do I upload the the "factory file" in my computer first? And if I have to, how do I do this?
5. Do I have to tinkle around with my antenna to align or something?

I hope you can give me a detailed instruction so I may be able to set this up hopefully before the snow falls (tho we already got a bit of sprinkling already this morning).

Thanks so much in advance.

Oh and a very special thank you to the following: arboritsman, Ricks Beach and grasshopper. You've all been tremendous help. I've been reading on all your "help" postings, tho right now, my head is just swimming with all the info I gathered that what I need right now is just the simplest way you can put it. Thanks again all!!!!!
