Important!! Version 3.2 is incompatible with version 3.1 or earlier. This means that you must upgrade all of your DVBLink products to the new version!

How to install:
DVBLink TVSource/DVBLink TVSource Connected Edition:
- Run DVBLinkSetup.exe from Setup folder. It will both install new version or update existing version to a new one.

DVBLink Server Network Client / DVBLink for Dreambox / DVBLink for IPTV:
- New installation: run msi installation files. Install DVBLink server first, followed by the DVBLink source product installation and (eventually) Network Pack installation.
- Upgrade: run enclosed bat files. Upgrade DVBLink Server first, then DVBLink source products and then (eventually) Network Pack and Network Client(s). This will preserve all your channels and settings. You will need to re-enter server IP address after upgrading client.

The versions of all binary files (exe and dll) should be 3.2.0.0.

Things to know and to consider:
- Registration information of DVBLink 3.2 products is compatible with v3.1. In other words this update is free of charge.
- Users with satellite tuners need to rescan the channels. Otherwise you may receive DVBLink "No signal" message when tuning channels in MediaCenter
- The DVBLink default recorder is used for remote Guide watching and timer recording programming. This means that for it to work you must select one of your MediaCenters to be a DVBLink default recorder (via MediaCenter DVBLink addin menu).
- DVBLink server will wake up the default recorder MediaCenter if it is in the sleep state via "wakeup on lan" and will start MediaCenter itself. Make sure that your BIOS and network card settings allow "wakeup on lan" to work.
- To watch channels on the IPhone/IPad connect to DVBLink Server from IPhone browser using the following URL: http://ort/iphone
- Users, having issues with incorrect display of accented characters in channel names or scanned EPG information, may select another DVB coding page in the general DVBLink server settings dialog and re-scan channels/EPG information.
