This is from bigade1's thread so credit goes to him, it helped me with the upgrade:

As always, first back up your original files before performing a software update. Using a USB stick that has been formatted to FAT32, enter the " Dump By USB " menu of your Skybox and first select the Image file ( which is your software backup ) and dump to the usb. Then change the image setting to miscellaneous files and select TP_PROG.dbs ( your channel list ) and CCcam.cfg ( your gift provider ) and dump these also. Make sure that you place a tick in each file you are dumping to usb by either selecting OK or the yellow button on your remote. Copy these files to a safe place on your PC. To upgrade, download the new software and extract it using the appropriate programme e.g. Winrar etc., then copy it to your usb stick. Once inserted, navigate to the " Upgrade By USB " menu option, select the image file, making sure it is ticked, do not alter any other settings and select upgrade. Wait for the upgrade process to finish and the box should reboot. If it does not reboot do it manually by powering off then on using the remote.

Download the .rar file..
Unzip file to recieve .abs file
Put .abs file onto a USB stick
Put USB stick into Skybox f5s
Press Menu on the remote.
Press Down (The menu is called "Tools")
Press OK
Go down to upgrade files by USB, Press OK
Upgrade mode should already be set to "image file .abs" So go down to Start and press OK.
Shh beat me to it, that will teach me not to refresh first
