What is the ipk file you're trying to install and what method are you using to install the file?

What image are you using?

Are you trying to install via the onscreen menu or Telnet?

Try FTPing the .ipk file to the /tmp folder on your receiver.

Then Telnet to the box and type

cd /tmp
ipkg install the-file-name-of-your-ipk-file.ipk

If that doesn't work you could also try

cd /tmp
opkg install the-file-name-of-your-ipk-file.ipk

It doesn't look like you're able to update using that image mate maybe you should look at trying a different image.
