    Well let us know where you are up to now, Menu and System Information, what does it say. Also what are you flashing with NULL MODEM straight to PC - Laptop or Adaptor in between?

    The best thing you can do is take it bach round to your mates and reflash it, cut out the adaptor they are a real pain in the A***, but reflash with the 7.09, and then reinstall after a Factory Re-set, here is the file you will be better off with >>>>

    And when and if you get stuck in an "updating Data" - in future just press Menu enter 1570 into Cas System menu and scroll down to Set Default Key and press OK, this will kickstart it to update.

    Okay liam, just an idea, Press menu and down to System Information OK and check what firmware you have on, you may still have the V 8.00 still on it - I know you have already done that but to clarify if it has e_E after the version then it still has it on, if so do a Factory Re-Set and fresh Installation - then do as I suggested with the Set Default Key after turning EMU ON exit to Sky Sports 1 and it will update - single E then it needs flashing deffo, use the 7.09, around at your mates of course the adaptor's tend to be a pain. Good Luck.

    if box works elsewhere it must have updated so it looks like signal issue,check all connections coaxial.splitters also cause problems.
