INSTRUCTIONS for DG6800/DG7000

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

THIS IS HOW I got it working. BTW picture quality looks better and channel changing is realy slow compare to Pansat/Fortec. Channel can be edited on a text documment and u can use BB channel edit programs(channel edit1.3 or FCD channel edit)

ALL these instructions and files work for the DG7000 also

HOW TO FLASH A NEW DIGIWAVE DG6800(new from the box) If u flash it before, disregard step 6, 7, 8, and 9

Download files attached
1-DG6800 10-0504.zip
2-DigiwaveDG6800Boot and FTA1.zip
3-FTLink.zip
4-Florida Channel data. zip

Unzip them and save them into any directory u want
