hi
i am completely new to all this satellite stuf and will appreciate any info or questions answered.

1, i have a he@d 2500 i have no idea how i can update the firm ware , what programe to use , where to find the latest up date etc etc do i need a cable to interface between my laptop and satbox?? i did say i was a complete noob to this :)

2, if i update the firmware will i have to stop hunting the internet for premier keys or will i have to keep manualy imputing them.

3, when i orginaly got my sat box all premier channels where there but i seem to have lost loads of them, i have played around with the channel search and just made it worse i think. anyone have any idea or could help me search and store all german channels from preier and also uk free to air channels from astra 28°2.

4, any other info you bunch of experts think i might need. but please make it simple untill i learn all the jargon :)

thx very much
