Replay Lite

Hey Gman...
I completely agree. I think they're one of the best boxes out there and extremely easy to set up. I'd just like to have my box working 100%. I miss having the EPG working from firmware 7.44. When I say they're hard to buy, they were one of the first cable boxes of their kind that were available on eBay over a year ago but now they can't be found on it at all. That as you say may be down to their popularity. There are however a large amount of other cable receivers avgailable. I am aware of other places to buy the Replay Lite...one is bulk only and the other is a hardware shop here in Dublin who's selling them for €250 but that's a ridiculous price to pay.
As for holding my breath...I'm going blue in the face already! (",)
It's such a pity that it's a great box but with terrible support from the software developers / manufacturers.

 

Thanks CBX2000

Great help on this site, i entered in 0000 and unlocked it and set new password to 7777

all this is completely new to me, so how do i go about getting the new firmware 7.56 ?
is there a link.
also when i save it to the desktop, how can i install it on the replay litebox?
do i need some sort of a cable from the replay lite to the pc?
is it a matter of just running a file on box?
simple as that?

i can see some sort of light at the endof the tunnel but right now its a long tunnel ive been at this the last few hours and aint giving up

thanks again for the all the great help.
its very much appreciated.
Steve

 

do i need to get a null modem connection in Maplins so i can download 756 to the replay lite box?

thanks guys, its all news to me and im interested in getting up to speed on how this all works and operates,

 

Yes, you will need to get a Null Modem cable. Maplin Product Code: L71BT.

Everything you will need to know is more then likely here already as far as instructions go. EKO's link at the bottom of many posts is also a goldmine for resources. Read as much as you can find the time to & you won't be long getting up to speed. Aside from that, if there is something you don't understand or can't find, post here and you will get an answer.

thanks GMAN

can you also confirm that firmware 756 will work with Ch***s in Ireland on the Replay Lite.

i have 752 and i keep getting Scrambled on the stations even though i added in the ID's for 0x5E which was mentioned in a previous spread?

thanks on the modem connection details, i'll go and get that this week.

 

My understanding is that yes it will in most parts.

There have been some reports that people in certain areas are struggling with low signal but I don't have all the bumf on that.

One thing is for sure though! if you are to have any chance you must have v7.56 installed to receive Cho**s in Ireland.

ok this might sound a bit stupid.

im picking up the cable in maplins today.

when i connect the box to the pc.
do i just run the firmware 756 file on the desktop?

is there any other file i need to run.

there will probably be a drive once the pc picks up the replay lite once all connect, i then run it on that right.

should it take long to run and how do i know it has finished installing to the box.

Do i just check the version in the menu option to verify it has been updated.

there is a SW: version and a HW version
do both need to be updated?

thanks again GMAN

I appreciate the help im getting in order to get up and running.

 

Not quite like that.

You need to go to http://eko.4shared.com/

Download STBLink from the software section.

Connect the box to the PC via the cable.

Run STBLink on your PC.

Load the firmware into STBLink (Via the "Upgrade Software" button).

Upload it to the box (Via the "Upgrade Software" button).

You will see its progression on screen.

Be Patient & wait until it finishes.

last question how do i load the firware into stblink ?

 

The STBLink software has a "Upgrade Software" button which will allow you to locate the downloaded firmware on your PC.

Just as a by the way Steve, you will need a 9 Pin serial port on your PC to connect the Null Modem cable. A lot of the newer PC's don't have them.

If yours does not? you either need to find someone who has or else you will need to get a USB to Serial 9 - Pin Male Adapter.

This can also be purchased from Maplin. Product Code: ZP43W

Good Luck!

i nearlyhad heart failure there, yeah i just checked that i have a 9 pin connection on the pc i.e same connection on the replay lite box correct ?

9pin box to 9pin on PC ?

 

Perfect Steve, away you go!

 

Cheers I really hope it works.
I paid 200 for this.
Expensive but i dont care once it works.!
do you get pay per view channels?
How many channels are there in total or does it differe i.e per the reception?

Thanks for the help, I hope I didnt waste your time.
It should be fun and games this evening getting this to work

 

Well, I'm on NTHELL & I have all the Sports & Movie channels etc. 142 channels total. (",)

Sounds great..!!

so for NTHELL its 752 software and CH***s its 756
is that right.

My parents have NTL if it doesnt work for me, i could give it to them and watch the football over therebut it wouldnt be the same.!

i.e are the ID Identifers different to NTHELL and Ch***s i.e 0x53
different settings?

both NTHELL and C are now the one company but obviously still using different services between the two?

i dont know if you already answered this.

On the replay lite box there is a SW version
and a hardware version

when i install the firmware does it only update the SW on the box?
and not the HW obviously correct?

HW is only the Replay Lite model?

is there specific models that are good and bad?

 

Steve,

The following was posted previously by Brian1956 & should cover all your needs.


For a replay lite in Chorus land.

Make sure you are using null modem lead part number L71BT.

Go to the link at the bottom of this page.

Go to the replay folder.

Go to the firmware folder you will find a file called replay lite 756
Download it to your desktop.

In the software folder you will find the stblink 5.20
Download it to your desktop.

In the documentation folder you will find a PDF file called Flashing the replay lite box.
Download it to your desktop.


Flash the box as per the instructions in the flashing the replay lite box PDF,only use the new v756 file (instead of 752 which is in the instructions)

When you have the box updated.
Do a full scan
Start frequency 290
End frequency 403

Symbol rate scroll left till you see *****, enter 6875 and press OK on your remote control.
Make sure it stays on 6875
Constellation 64 QAM
Search by network ON
Search ….when all channels are found select view.


Go to parental lock
Current password 7777 it might be 0000
Parental lock: OFF
Install lock OFF
New password 7777
Confirm password 7777
Exit back to TV

Go to parental lock.
Goto key manager,
Nagra page.
Scroll left till you see 0x5E (if it’s not there, add provider ID) Type 5E in the box that pops up.
Exit back to TV.

THIS FILE IS FOR PEOPLE IN IRELAND WHO ARE IN C####S LAND.
THIS IS NOT AN UPDATE FOR PEOPLE ON NHELL.
________________________________________

A few people have had problems in some area's, It's could be nhell are doing work in the area or some people have problems when sending the signal to the box via a splitter.
Best bet is to always take the signal from the connection on your wall directly to the box.

0000scrambled usually means the box is locked.
1800scrambled is what you usually see if a channel is off the air.

To unlock the box,
Then go to menu,
User Installation
Parental lock
Current password 0000 if not try 7777
Parental lock –off
Install lock ----off
New password 7777
Confirm password 7777
Exit to TV Screen,
You need to go to parental lock again
Current password
Type 7777
Goto key manager.
Current key----OK
Auto update -----off
Exit to TV screen and you should be sorted.

 

aw nooooooooooooooo
I am sending the signal to the box via a splitter.

i dont have any other option because the Ch&&&s box has a different connection and doesnt go straight into the Replay Lite Box.

thats why i need a splitter.

if this is going to be a problem after i install 756 then im going no were with this...!! im not going to get this working.

Is there anyone in Cho&&s land using a replay lite with a SPLITTEr between there cho**s box and there replay lite box ?

please thell me there is for the love of god

 

Gman
