Fortis has released updated firmware twice in the past couple of days for the Octagon receivers. These firmware updates have addressed several issues that people reported having in other countries. Octagon is a very popular receiver so it does not surprise me to see firmware updates released for it first.
The Fortis Sky Sat also has updated firmware that was released yesterday for its line of receivers. I did not see any release notes from Sky Sat.

In reviewing the new Octagon files, I find some of the issues that Mengram has complained about appear to be fixed. For example, the receiver does not hang up on the encrypted PowerVu channels that are on 121 West, and the channel changes also seem to be improved in this newly released firmware.

I expect firmware updates to be released for Optibox soon. Hopefully Fortis will address some of our problems and issues like they did for Octagon. EB
