It is out of warranty and the cost the replace just a satellite is only $25.00 less than a whole new set. I would still like to fix this if at all possible. I have seen links where you can use telnet for firmware updates on the router. Wondering if that is possible on the satellite?
I have already bought a replacement. But if I could fix this I could sell the old set to help get back some money.
