How to Upgrade DISH Network Receivers
Dish Network uses several different satellite receiver models to provide its service to subscribers, each with slight variations in features. However, when it comes to basic system software upgrades, all Dish Network receivers use the same process. Most system upgrades on your Dish Network receiver are handled automatically through the satellite connection. However, you can initiate a system upgrade through the receiver settings menu.
