[QUOTE="salvador, post: 135586, member: 187585"] While writing up a summary of steps in upgrading An Arion AF-1700EC receiver for my friend, I noticed somehing that I found interesting: My receiver was a DTM machine originally. I downloaded an OZK boot loader file. After I converted the header of this file, the header was DTM as was my original boot loader header. I that point I thought that after uploading the converted file, my receiver would still be a DTM machine. The fact is that from that moment onwards my machine became an OZK machien :) Although I have upgraded the boot loader twice and the firmware twice and I got away with it, I still feel that the process is dangerous enough to ruin the receiver because of fake or wrongly named softwarre files available for download on the Internet. I examined carefully all the files I used with notepad. There were a few that I wasn't too sure about, references of diferent model and boot version and yet listed for my AF-1700EC. Perhaps they were OK but I wasn't going to take a chance with them :) By the way, I got all the multivision channels working and also all TPS channels. I know that sooner rather than later these channels are going to be blocked so surely I don't need to look for the latest firmware version for my AF-1700EC, do I? Can I use Downloader 2.8 to keep ahead of the game? Salvador [/QUOTE]
