    Yep that was me :) You are on Ch**us on the North side I can gaurantee that it is just a fault on the codes. This time press the default key first and then input the keys again.

    As said try the codes again but press the default key first, also make sure you are using the N** Ireland codes as opposed to the UK ones.

    Are you plugged into the cable in port on the back of the box? BTW why not update your firmware to auto update the keys for you. I have to leave soon so if I miss you apologies.

    Open the box and check to see if the C11 capacitor is bulging or blown.

    Just buy The Box Super, same as an SV2 except not cloned. It was brought out to stop the cloned boxes.

    They are a bit dear and I have no info on the seller. I have sent you some info as I prefer not to advertise sellers on the forum.
