I started a 'Update From Air' yesterday evening for my Strong srt6155 reciever via the Astra satellite. It is still downloading aprox. 16 hours later. The screen says: "Downloading Software Header".

Can anybody tell me if this is normal? Will it work i.e are Strong still doing OTA downloads. If yes how long will it take? I have never updated the reciever before. You response would be gratefully appricated.

It shopuld take a few minutes no more. You may find the OTA updates are no longer being transmitted (for example Echostar dropped their 13E OTA's years ago)
