The Box

Hi
My friend has a box which is called "the Box" & he has it chipped so it just scrambles itself so he needs no codes however the thing is , He was missing 3 Stations so I thought I new what I was doing & tried fixing it 4 him,I went into automatic scan & got back 1 station, Now here's the really bad part.,
When things were looking good they went really bad.....
I went into system information I think & I was asked for a code which He or I didn't no so I put in for 0's & it got me into something, the 1st thing that came up on the screen was a list of languages So I thought right I shouldn't be here but when I pressed exit It wouldn't so I panicked & half automatically scanned & exited.
Thats when the problem started I lost all his channels, I auto scanned again & found 187 channels but only RTE 1 & City Channel & the likes of some more Irish stations. I really dont know wot I did, So I then went into something else that brought me to enable/disable & it was on disable so I enabled it, scanned & it found again 187 channels but again it was saying scrambled or bad channel on everyone of the stations. I then went into frequency levels & knocked it frm something like 670 to 0 & couldn't change it.,
Its his Mothers box aswell as his & I'm now in big trouble unless I can get someone to fix it or help me fix it.

Please Please if anyone thinks that they could help me I would much appreciate it as I'm so worried. Thanks Joanne.

 

Sounds like you done a number on it Easy enough to fix, as you say it is flashed already. Just do a factory reset, menu, factory setting press OK. Use 1668 if it asks for a pin.

Then go through the installation again. I presume you are on N** Dublin, so just select N** and let it scan. It will say fail on a lot of TPs dont worry about that as they are UK related. Let it scan right to the end. Turn key emu back on by pressing menu and type 1570 on remote. Exit all the way out and put it on Sly Sports to update.

Thanks very much, I really appreciate you answering me as I'm in big trouble over this so I really hope I can get it back on. Do you really think that it will work, I wont be able to try it until about half 9 until the person comes home, but if you get this before then can you just explain 1 more thing to me,.,

you said turn the EMU back on by going to menu and typing in 1570, but when I went into Menu all the names come up like installation, factory settings, system information & so on so were exactly do I go to turn the EMU on & put in the code.

also what does flashing mean??

Thanks very much & I will let u know if it works,
Cheers
Joanne

 

Flashing is what you call "chipped", it means putting firmware on the box.

Just follow what I said and that should sort it. As said the key emu can be accessed by pressing menu and then 1570 on the remote, you will then see a new menu. Any problems just shout.

 

Sorry scouserThanks very much for trying to help me but I'm having no luck.

I followed what you said to do and I am getting stuck at the point where Iv to put in the last number for the EMU,., Its not giving me the option to put in a number so I did anyways & came back to a blank screen I'm now on sky sports with a black screen.

am I doing something wring??, Did you read my letter about everything I did wrong

Much appreciated Really
Joanne

 

on remote press menu1570 that brings you to cas system go to key emu off and switch to on exit out 3 times and go to a sly channel where it should update after 10-15 secs.

 

Sorry just heading to bed. Press menu and system info and post what it says please.

 

it says nn dont let the bed bug bites lol

 

scouser I tried everything you told me to do but when I was after scanning "please wait came up then 187 channels found I then exited and put in 1570, but as a station not a code thats the only way I could do it,went to Sly Sports & it just said scrambled or bad channel, nothing else I read a message frm Cactikid& thought it was frm you and I thought you told me to repeat that 3 times so I did & the only thing that changed was when I put in 1570 as a channel that it went straight to Sly sports, I now know that wasnt frm you but just thought I'd tell you.
Then I didnt read the other message you left until now so I couldnt try it so I have left a message with my friend to check it when he gets in frm the hospital.
Is it ok if I post u then.
Thanks for all this help

Hi I saw your message late last night & took it up completely wrong as I thought it was frm someone else its only now I understand it after reading it again.,Thanks for writing, what I can tell you is that when I press menu it gives no room for a code to go in so do I just press it And it will bring me to cas system, as when I do press Menu it brings up all the normal information like installation,system information & so on. I cannot find the EMU button anywhere & I have tried but I am afraid to mess around anymore than I did as I lost all his channels & he & his Mother are now looking for what can I say "money" of me and I dont have it. My own box isn't working bcos its not chipped and constantly needs codes that I cant find., Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks

 

All you do is press menu and 1570 to get you into the CAS menu. I asked for the system info to make sure it was flashed.

 

when I find out il post u it will probably be tomorrow though is that okj.

 

lol

Ok when you press "Menu" you will get a list of options , dont worry about them and "installation" should be highlighted , press 1570 on the remote and you should now be in the CAS Menu.

The bottom option is "EMU" , use your > button to turn it "ON" and exit 3 times and turn on S*Y Sports and it should Auto Update for you.

 

Cheers to everyone that sent me Instructions on how to fix "The Box"
I did as I was Instructed and got it working.,

Thanks very Very Much.

 

Well done
