It's easy to switch between Portals. When you reload, just press the menu button and the list of available portals pop up.

When I set up mine , I just went with default settings , I can not remember what they were . I would suggest trying different settings and see how you go on . You can change the PORTAL LOAD DELAY to 1,5,10,30 sec 1min 2min or WITHOUT AUTOSTART

I have collected the needed steps to activate Portal 3-8:

1) Got to System Settings > Servers > Portals > Press F1 (Red Button on the remote)
2) Multiportal mode: ON > 3xDOWN
3) Choose Portal: 3 > Use portal 3: ON
4) Press DOWN > Name 3: Insert Name or left free > DOWN > URL 3: Insert your Server address
5) Press OK to save
6) Same procedure for Portal 4,5,6,7,8

ladysmith told us all the features and here is the original INFOMIR site to that new Firmware update:
