    When the codes change you will see "Data Is Being Updated" on the screen

    If this happens , just tune into S*Y Sports and it update faster for you , you wont need to input codes no more

    If you find its not updating for you

    Press Menu then 1570 and press the "Set Default Key" , press OK and tune into S*Y Sports and it should auto update for you

    BTW , well done on flashing your b0x :)

    for clones its the 2,57 fixed file, download to your desktop and unzip it, place the file on the desktop, connect the box using your cable and put it in standby and then click the the loader, click bin file on the loader and select the 2.57 file you have just placed on the desktop, press download and wait until its says download complete, the box will re-start itself. Then just connect to the TV and press menu, 1570, turn EMU to on and exit, exit again out to Sky sports and let it update

    The most common issue when installing the USB adapter and driver is selecting the correct port for your map software to recognize.

    You must make sure your particular software is looking on the correct port for it to transfer any data.

    To see which port your USB adapter is connected to, connect your USB adapter and follow the following instructions:

    1. Go to the Start Menu
    2. Right click on "My Computer"
    3. Select "Properties"
    4. Click on the "Hardware" tab
    5. Click on "Device Manager"
    6. Click the + sign next to "Ports (COM & LPT)"
    7. One of the listed ports should indicate which port your USB adapter is connected to (e.g. COM1, COM2, COM3, etc.)
    8. Go back to your map software program that you use to transfer data and make sure it is looking at the correct port.
    9. You should be able to transfer data once the correct port is selected

    If you need drivers go here

    http://www.gilsson.com/usb_drivers_download.htm

    Follow my advice to step 7. Locate your USB Adapter

    Right click on that port and select properties. Then select port settings, then select advanced. At the bottom of that tab will be a drop down box with the port selected. Use the drop down to select another port (eg 1, 2 or 3). If the port you want to use is already allocated to something else, you can use the same procedure to reassign that port after you have finished.
    Save the selections in the usual way. The USB converter will be permanently assigned to the port you selected.
