Fortec Star HD Passion + Receiver, reset problems + 7 day guide

Hi, my receiver keeps rebooting, The flash file loader_v150 is also installed. According to other web forums this has problems, anbody know how to go back or get v140?

Fortec Star sent me a new software file, not on their website: 1.08 (p2_av108_20081114) but my Passion + doesn't recognise this file. I've tried to do it through the SW file upload as well and you can't see the file. When checking the existing software load via the Other Options it still indicates v1.02 (p2_av102_20080707) from July 2008, which is the first update I did when I got the receiver.

I tried to upload v1.02 (p2_av102_20080707) again and the receiver does recognise this file so it appears 1.08 (p2_av108_20081114) file does not work. This was the same for the v1.07 (p2_av107_20081031) file on their web site, for 7 day programme, which I tried, and does not work. Have sent e-mails to Fortec Star but they are so slow in response. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated before I throw it out of the window! Thanks Stewart

1) Format a usb flash drive to FAT32 using Fortec Star receiver. (press usb button on remote).

2) On pc, unzip file you received from FS and copy to top directory of usb flash drive

3) Plug usb flash drive into FSreceiver.

4) load s/w by menu. (using remote)

ALTERNATIVE step 4 if you have lost the remote: power off/on then press round button (repeat) to load.

You do not need to go back to v140. Ignore this p2_av108_20081114 which does not work. You can use the most recent one from the fortec star website: p_av122_20090107.dnl or a previous one from july 24 2008: p_av115_20080724.dnl which can also be found on the fortec site.
