Major DishNetwork 3800 Firmware Problems

Can't Post

Okay, Heres the deal. I have a Dish 3800 from years ago. I just switched back to Charlie from Dave. I also have a 2800. For some reason the 2800 has a newer interface that I am assuming is due to new firmware. It useses even and odd polarity and mentions superdish and other things. It works fine. The 3800 has been out of the stream for about 3 years. It still says dish 500 and even and odd transponders and not polarity. On the switch, everything works fine except there is a problem with 119 odd. Now I have brand new cable installed, an the 2800 works in both rooms, and the 3800 will work in neither. Also, I tried the 3800 at a friends house who has been up for months...same problem. This can only mean that the receiver is the problem and that perhaps a firmware upgrade is needed. Oh, did I mention that the signal is showing up strong on all transponders that it should between 119 and 110. The only problem is 119 odd is showing up wrong. Anyway, I have tried to upgrade the 3800 firmware by setting the receiver to get updates automatically without permission, and then turning it off. I left it ff for roughly 16 hours and turned it back on. Same thing, no update (yes signal is locked on both satellites). What am I doing wrong? Please advise. Any help or suggestions are greatly appreciated. Is there anyway I can force an upgrade or add it myself? Thank you.
