Minor Firmware is Available for Improved Timers and Recording.

GEOSATpro firmware GSPMHD_0.16_12062012 for USB Update

Warning: The GSP_MHD_016 update is a main system file and will overwrite your settings and channel scans.

We strongly recommend users to perform a complete Factory Reset after the firmware update.

You may safely load any User Data Base (.udf) file created and saved from a microHD operation on firmware version 0.13 or newer. If you have an older User Data Base created with firmware older than 0.13, use the attached new Satellite/ Transponder list. If you use a switch or motor, you will need reconfigure and re-enter your location Longitude and Latitude settings.


Important Notice: Before updating the firmware, Please back-up your current firmware to an USB - Save to USB (ALLCODE) .abs

• After the .abs firmware file update is completed, power cycle the rmicroHD by removing and reinserting the power plug. Perform a Factory Reset before reconfiguring the satellite settings and scanning for channels or loading the .udf file.

Important Clarification about loading .udf files created with previous firmware versions. We DO NOT recommend loading old User Database files (.udf) that were saved on previous firmware versions older than 0.13. While the saved .udf file may be fine and cause no operational issues, the file could contain data that will cause the microHD to enter a reboot cycle. Please follow our recommendation of rebuilding your channel list using the database file that is in this firmware.


MicroHD Firmware Notes:

Date: 12/06/2012
Version: GSPMHD_0.16_12062012

• Corrected: Unwanted Timer Deletion Solution

Future reoccurring timers are not cancelled if a single event has a signal or an USB device error. Example: If a timer is set to record Daily at 5pm and today the signal is interrupted, the timer will not be deleted and will record tomorrow.

• Changed: Loss of signal during a recording will not stop the recording or stop the timer event

In the case that a signal is lost during a manual or timer recording event, the recording will continue for the duration of the event. If signal returns during the event, the recording is continued. If the signal does not return, the timer continues to execute, but the file will only be the length of the time that the signal was available.

If no signal is available at the start of the timer recording, the recording will not start. We have confirmed that in order to support the ability to record two programs and watch a third from the same transponder, the signal must be present during the record initiation. Unfortunately, the record initiation command cannot be repeated.
