file uploaded onto new formatted 1GB USB stick.
I'd be suspicious of any new 1GB usb stick, I didn't know they were still available. I put off buying usb sticks when they first came out and when I did around 10 years ago I bought 2GB ones which are the smallest I have here and they still work fine.
proper new 2GB seem more expensive than 4GB and there's next to no diffence between 4GB and 8GB in price. The only 1GB I can find aren't on reputable websites or from reputable retailers AFAIK and I wouldn't touch any of the 1GB I've seen with a barge pole.
P&P seems to be more expensive than the usb stick itself. An example, and just an example as there are loads out there, of an 8GB delivered for £3.18 http://www.kikatek.com/P128882/49062-Verbatim-8GB-Store-n-Go-PinStripe-USB
Anyway, I'd take the usb stick you have, do a full format to fat32 on the usb stick in windows, make sure it's full and not quick, unzip the file or if already unzipped copy the FOXSAT-HDR_upgrade.hdf file, as Graham mentioned, across onto the usb stick, wait for it to copy completely, eject the usb stick in windows if unsure.
put the foxsat hdr into standby, plug the usb stick into the front bottom right hand side usb socket. I personally would switch off at the back left hand side rocker switch or switch off at the plug or pull whichever is easiest, wait 10 seconds and switch back on again, others prefer to hold the power button and the software upload should start. If it doesn't then I'd try a different usb stick and/or double check that you have the right update file for your box
