Having to buy a receiver and being a stupid cheapskate I decided to buy the cheapest that I can get. And so I ordered one in a german online shop diepreisjaeger.de. This was a receiver called "Digitaler Satelliten Receiver" (how original!) and there was no information on the manufacturer, which, however, did not stop me from buying it.It was delivered in a couple of days in a box with the full set of accessoires (manual, remote control, etc.). By the way, the manual (in german language) can be found LINK REMOVED , although it's not much help. At first, everything seemed to be OK. I have made a full scan of the Astra 19.2E satellite, got a whole load of channels, good.When I started to sort the channels, I noticed that there were only about ten german channels, and the most interesting ones (like ZDF, Sat1, 3sat, german Eurosport, etc.) were missing. I looked up the transponders for the missing channels on the ASTRA-SES website and tried to manually configure the receiver (which seems to have firmware from the year 2005). It turned out that the receiver knew those transponders but didn't find any channels when trying to scan them.I have tried to perform a firmware upgrade via satellite. It wouldn't work. First the receiver would check something for about 10 minutes or more then it would say that the check had failed and the upgrade process would stop.In the manual it says that an upgrade via serial port is also possible. However, there's absolutely no details on how to do it. After several days of googling I have found some website providing some .bin files, however I am not quite sure that these aren't some piracy firmware files used to watch encrypted channels illegally - this is something I don't wanna do. I just want to make my receiver detect all free channels that are transmitted by ASTRA 19.2E. And anyway, if those even were the firmware files that I'm looking for, I have no idea how to flash them onto the receiver. I couldn't find any flashing tool.The online shop that has sold me the thing provides no support. They even won't answer my e-mails.Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you all in advance!Best wishesYuriy</blockquote>
