    I have the original "box" and "the box super". Does anyone know if there is a fix for either of these.

    Thanks

    Hi Hooter. Thanks it was great to find this layed out in plain english. Unfortunatlly I still managed to f... it up!
    I followed the download to a file (200907291102)
    When I went into USB on the box it came up with
    CH Data Backup....no file
    Code Backup This one seemed to load.
    When I went back to scan It only scanned 44 chanels but only picked up a few. Any help would be much appreciated
    Cheers
    Bert

    when you put code data back on i think you put the data that was already on your memory stick
    try it again but this time erase everything of your memory stick and follow the instructions exact as it says and dont forget to do a factory reset again before you start
    if you dont get anywhere this time get back to me, :)
    ps: the file you download is called (Thebox Super USB_BETA new) and that should be the 1 you download onto your memorystick and put on your box from your stick.

    you can get a j.tag to bring your box back to life or sort your 8882
    before you even go down that road get back on to who you got your box of and see if they will replace it??

    I am unsure the earlier models has a similar molex type Max232 and Jtag interface to the clone boxes from a physical point of view on the main board. So they share similarities and probably a lot more, so when the firmware runs its checks it thinks they are clone boxes.

    lads & ladies... quick question on the super usb. I recently purchased one and set it up. seems to get most channels a sky package would get you so all is fine there. but the thing is... My television provider rang today asking if my cable box was working ok and asked if id any probs with it. 1st time ever since ive had cable in. I said its fine & that i couldnt talk just now and hung up. What im wondering is if they know your stealing from them or how theyd know etc... any info would be appreciated thanks. sorry if im in wrong section here. cheers :)
