Not until they come up with one for this side of the pond, I'm a bit hesitant to try something that is not setup for this side.
It was a big pain to setup all the sats for this side in the first place, then have to do it all over again....Not....
You can save your user database to a usb then reload after you update, remember after you update you need to do a factory resetQuote:

We use completely different codes over here, keeps them from borrowing our channels, and the other way around, same thing goes for Canada, Mexico and the South American Country's.
Some weird law setup when all this started back in the 70's, the powerview system codes followed the receivers country code assigned to that receiver when it shipped from the factory to the customer.
We could not directly sell a used receiver to anyone outside of our country code, it had to go back to the factory first.
Well I don't know about all that but some of the keys do work for North America and I know this because I am using some of theQuote:

Well things change in the 30 years that I last used those types of receivers, we had one receiver per subbed channel, each had it's own code.
Well you are close, but code & Key are not the same thing, code is the receiver ID and if it's a good code then the receiver willQuote:

And this is why I always refereed the software stuff to the software engineering group, I'm a hardware engineer, I'd get the box, take it out, install it, put the Eprom in it, turn it on, plug the modem in, dial the factory, enter the access code , set the phone receiver into the modem cradle, wait, and check the channel.
