Coolsat 8100HD 8100 HD micro PVR Loader Guide

How To Update and Upgrade Software [S/W] for Coolsat 8100 HD micro PVR

Okay, did a lot of trial and error and forum hopping piecing together info bit by bit but I managed to get the factory file and the new f/w to load finally. Aside from the factory file and the new software file you will need another file called CLEAR_SW_HD.BIN file.

Follow this procedure EXACTLY and you shouldn't have a problem.
NOTE: Use the RS232 serial cable (dark gray cable) that came with your Coolsat 8100 HD micro PVR, and NOT the one used for the Coolsat 4000Pro 5000 or 6000 !! (light gray cable)

How to update with current bin using CS Upgrade Loader V3.01 for proper autoroll

BEFORE YOU BEGIN
1) Just make sure each of the required files below must be unzipped
2) You must know where the unzipped files are located preferably a separate folder
3) You must Factory Reset the receive before you begin the following
4) Turn the receiver off from the back power switch after the factory reset.
5) Connect the null (RS232) cable to your PC and the Receiver
6) Disconnect receiver from the satellite feeding cable

THE LOADER
Open the loader; New loader CSUpgrade_v3.01.exe

NOTE: Depending on your operating system (Windows 98, 2000, XP and Vista) you may need the following three OCX files in the same directory where CSUpgrade_v3.01 is located and they are ALSO to remain in C:\Windows\System32.
