Hi. i'm trying to inquire on how to update astro to the latest firmware/software?

before you go and say these --> "put your astro in standby-mode and then unlug your power and etc etc etc ...", that's not the answer i'm looking for becoz there's another alternative way to do that, simply by pressing the buttons.

reason is coz i was at my friend's house when as astro installer came and checked his astro, and i was surprised on the way he did the "software updates" just by pressing some buttons .. i know 1 of it is "standby" , but can't see the others.

so i'm trying to understand if there's anybody who knows of this method ? i'm trying to update my astro b.yond decoder.

thanks!

my thoughts on updating it, is.. i just wanna stay update for it. no particular reason..

okay, the latest version of it.. which is 7.0 has slimmer fonts, that's all. the rest has yet to be discovered.

Thanks! i'll try it later.



if you're using the leave astro in standby mode, i'm not really quite sure.
but this is what i did though. before i went to sleep, i left the astro b.yond in standby mode by pressing the "power or standby button". and the next morning came, my brother switch on the decoder, and voila~, it's at version 7.0 or 7.2.

But if you don't wanna do that, use the method which lowyat member/forumer "chikana" taught us. i've yet to tried that method, but i can confirm it works coz i saw it with my own eyes astro b.yond doing the software updates without waiting for the updates to arrived.

hope that helps.
