The NFI file extension is associated with the Dreambox satellite receiver. It is a firmware distribution image file that contains the program and data necessary to install and configure settings on the receiver. The NFI image file is typically used for updating the firmware on a Dreambox satellite receiver.
Types of NFI Files
NFI files can be used to update a variety of Dreambox products including the DM 8000 HD, DM 800 HD PVR, DM 500 HD, DM 7080 HD, and others. NFI files can be very large and uploading them to the receiver can take quite some time. Thus, it is important to make sure that the selected file is compatible with the device before starting the upload.
Compatibility and Installation
The Dreamboxes use various types of operating systems with different version numbers. Therefore, the NFP, NFM, and NFI files should match exactly in both version number and operating system in order to be compatible with the receiver. After verification, the NFI image can be uploaded using a variety of methods such as an Ethernet cable connection or a USB flash drive connection.
Programs for WINDOWS system
After installing the required software, the operating system will usually automatically associate an unknown file type (in this case .NFI) with the new application. If this does not happen, we can help the system a bit by selecting the software for it, which it should always use to open files with the .NFI extension.
When choosing the software we can select the system to use this software every time.
Remember!
Using it for the first time it is good to check whether the .NFI file opened in the application can be read by us and opens in a way that allows us to use it. If everything is in order, select this option the next time you open a file with the .NFI extension. However, if the file has not opened correctly, we have to look for a different software, with which we can open files with the .NFI extension. Select a different software from our list and install it on your computer. After the software is installed, repeat inspection openings of a .NFI file. Sometimes you have to repeat the operation several times.
Other instructions
If none of the programs listed by us to work with the .NFI file has not meet your expectations, you can try searching other websites. But remember to avoid downloading programs "that can open any file". These applications not only have very limited functionality, but may also expose you to expense tens of dollars when purchasing a license.
In the vast majority of cases you will find the program dedicated to support the .NFI file, or any other file format. In addition, there is a chance that it will be a free program, and its functionality (concerning the .NFI file) will be extended to the maximum.
It is also good to check
- if the .NFI file has no errors
- or if it has been copied (or downloaded by the browser) thoroughly
