    Hi all pals box is down, have tried to 'transfer data' from my working box, but nothing. Have done a s/w update on friends box and it has 'frozen' with 'downloaded started' even though it is 100% but just frozen, any info please?

    in downloads on a few forums

    thanks tongs yes post7 very informative and can be found there if they need it bad enough.

    Sorry and apologise to you tongs cactikid,i was up this morn, and had a call from a pal I got a box for, pal saying his box wasn't working, unknown to me one of my 2 boxes wasn't working, I tried to transfer data from 'good' one to non working one and my pals, but no joy, I trawled back to previous posts as I am not as educated as you boys, on pc and spent all afternoon trying to get box working again factory reset, flashing, tried all the network id's still no joy. Tried to get the firmware but no joy, so don't know what I am doing....obviously, and have spent all day messing about trying to sort this out....without any joy! So am non the wiser than. your tut term to me is mid-boggling and am not up to scratch as you all, so again apologises to you, so if you can help I would appreciate it if not then I understand as well, off to bed now so goodnight to you all.

    Hi Cactikid,
    I have 'successfully' downloaded new firmware on one box to date, i connected eth & viirgin cables to box, i also factory default & s/w updated as well, turned off/on 'easy installation' page come up, searched all networks one at a time, all came up 'already exist' NO list of channels come on screens, exited and it went back to easy installation page?

    check what date is on the box now as you cant have done a s/w update as the file is 2 days old.

    you are scanning from a live feed with coaxial pugged into correct port.
    sounds like wrong provider been scanned.

    Hi Cactikid, Check what date is on the box, you have lost me how do I do that?

    I downloaded firmware from Link you sent and like I said it came up 'download succesfull'. I am scanning with Virgiin cable/coaxial plugged into top right hand connection (screw in type) Ethernet plugged into port where sticker was covering it, scart lead connected to tv.

    Funny enough the box that is working is still going from where I am trying all this?

    As I have said I have factory default settings ok, then s/w update, but installation page still comes up?
