Satellite TV users have long known notion of "firmware" receiver. However, for many, who for years used analog air tv, and now became the owner of digital terrestrial receiver for reception of the signal in the format T T2 is absolutely not familiar.
So in this article I would like to just mention available, What is "firmware" and meaning "reflash" or "Flash" receiver.
In the broad sense of "firmware" is:
software, which is the operating system of the device (in our situation-digital receiver);
software filling, management of all the necessary basic functions the receiver.
Synonyms of the word "firmware" is software (on) or soft.
Based on the above-mentioned definition, «Flash», "reflash" receiver or receiver firmware update means to change the software version of your digital receiver.
Further, the question arises: Why Flash receiver?
Replacement firmware installed digital receiver to a newer firmware can often:
fix found developers in previous firmware problems and errors;
get new useful features and improve existing;
improve digital reception quality;
change the appearance of menus (colours, font, new language support, etc.);
improve the overall health of the receiver and to accelerate its work;

It is also worth noting, that is not always positively influences the new firmware on your device. It is sometimes, that update leads to deterioration of its health (If it is for some reason not been properly developed by developers). In such a situation, If the update was done and found flaws in the work of the receiver, You must go back to the old version, ie. reprogram the receiver using a file from a previous version of firmware.
