SkyWalker-2 firmware updater runs in Windows x32/x64 environment only (Windows XP and higher).

To start firmware upgrade:
double-click on SW2_update.exe file, and follow the instruction on the screen.

This firmware version supports some extra fec rates for Turbo-coded modulations. Other then that, there are no changes. Thus, if your unit is working fine (and you can get lock on all transponders visible to you), there is no need to update.

Keep in mind, you will need new interfaces for DVB Dream, TSReader or SmartDVB (to be able to use this new firmware). DVB Dream and SmartDVB interfaces are in Software Updates section of web-site.
TSReader interface would be released as soon as new version of TSReader gets published (which has new fec rates enabled in the drop-down menu).
