I read somewhere that I cannot update directly from the installed version but instead need to upgrade to an intermediate one and then update that to the latest. Does anyone know which version I can install to enable me to upgrade to v2.5.1.8
Any help greatfully recieved.

Hi VAJim
The trouble is, it has never worked since I unpacked it 3 days ago. When I first turned it on I got a message saying Firmware update required and before I had a chance to read what else it said the deed was done and since then it won't connect to the Satellite or the modem. Perhaps you could reccomend an earlier version that I can update to that isn't riddled with problems.
