Is it just a case of sat dish misaligned, or do I need to update firmware?

I've been out of the game a while.
I've managed to update the firmware but there is an error on the box that reads E001.
I've tried to find and download the new firmware from Openbox and another site, I forget which one and it just comes up with a dead link.
Is there anyway that it can be updated or am I better off just getting rid of the box.
