Sky Box Firmware Update

The latest operating system version is 1.2S4FM and EPG software version is 3.8.8.ns (March 2010).

This firmware version is for a Pace Digibox, (non Sky+) and includes the latest Digibox software update. The latest software version for Sky+ EPG is 5.08.6 (July 2010).

If your Skybox has an older version of firmware, you can force a Digibox software upgrade (in UK only) by following the instructions below:-

• Check Sky Digibox signal quality is 50% or more before attempting any software upgrade
• Remove the Sky viewing card from your box
• Ensure that a phone line is connected to your Digibox
• Turn on your TV. Ensure that your Skybox is connected to your TV using a Scart cable
• Disconnect or turn off the 240V mains supply from the Sky Digibox
• Switch on the mains supply whilst holding the “Backup” button pressed on the Digibox front panel for 10 seconds, or until all front panel LED’s (lights) illuminate and the “Updating System Software” message is displayed on your TV
• Do not attempt use of your phone line during the firmware upgrade!
• Wait for around 15 minutes for the software upgrade to complete, at which time the receiver will re-boot automatically. If it doesn’t, wait at least an hour before disconnecting the mains supply
• Do not unplug your Skybox from the mains supply or satellite dish during the software upgrade or permanent damage could be done and your box rendered unusable
• Do not attempt a firmware upgrade if your Sky Digibox already has the latest firmware version
