Strangely some people don't appear to have this box connected to either a satellite dish or the internet (I really do wonder what they use the box for) and hence have to resort to the USB stick method.”
When update 122R was released it was not available OTA i.e.via satellite!! Hence the reason people (like myself) went to Echostar's website and used USB, I don't use Slingbox facilities, so my box is not connected to internet, used purely as a Freesat PVR.
