'Download' the Firmware
Final Update: This is the final Software Update for the Dish TV A2. It has been developed to address the issues introduced by the Satellite changes on 3 June 2026.
While this update significantly improves the situation, it does not completely eliminate the issue for all Satellite Tuners. Unfortunately, due to a hardware limitation on the Dish TV A2, the remaining issue cannot be fully addressed through a Software Update.
