    Can the bootloader on a 800HD be updated

    Hi, I want to purchase a Dreambox 800HD and was going to get it from Linuxsat, the ones they sell come with Bootloader 72, i see 74 is out on new receivers. Can the bootloader be updated? if not can anyone point me to the right direction as to who sells one with 74

    Thanks

    This is a question I have been trying to find the answer to also, Mine has bootloader 74 and works fine but now the newer ones have BL75, I am aware you can just change the sim card to overcome this but I am still to find out if you can programme the sim ( I would imagine this is possible with the old sim programmers I used to use to clone mobile sims, purely for educational purposes of course)

      The thing is they will keep bringing out new bootloaders with clones but the end of the day if your image works well the bootloader wont matter.
