Have you restarted the receiver ?

Its possible that it is doing an update OTA (over the air)

Hi Paul yes have restarted the receiver several times. But it will let me go into the menu page but when I click to go into ANY of the sub menus when I click on the appropriate tab the operation not allowed menu comes on screen.

Try updating the firmware again

How to update your S7090 Firmware

1. Copy the .usb image onto your USB memory device in to a folder named " DISH_TV ".

Note: if you extract the .zip file from our website directly onto your USB memory device the folder
structure will be created automatically. You will need to check that the Dish_TV folder is at the
top level of the drive and not inside another folder.

2. Power OFF the Receiver
3. Insert the USB memory device in the receiver USB port.
4. Power ON the box and repeatedly press and release the MENU button on the remote or hold down the menu button on the front panel instead to invoke the boot loader for downloading the S/W image via USB.
5. The boot loader will attempt to detect the USB memory device. It will say LOAD then USB if it has
found it . You can now release the menu button.

If the USB device is not present the boot loader will boot up the previous application.
If more than one .usb image file is present in the “DISH_TV ” folder, information about the available
software image file will be shown on OSD

Use the UP/DOWN key to view the next file information.
Press exit key to stop the download process.
Press OK key to update the image into the STB.

If only one .usb image file is present the receiver will automatically start the update process

6. Once the update process is complete the unit will reboot.

I have the same model and same problems as Carolynne...so where would we find the .usb image you refer to? And how can we tell if a firmware update is actually taking place? I accepted the prompt to update but nothing seems to be happening.
