    Press menu > 1570 & see if you can access the CAS menu.

    wouldnt say so!!.. are you trying to download using Vista, if so if you can get a loan of a XP computer there should be no problems as there seems to be issues with using Vista

    ok, turn the emu on
    go to set default key & press ok
    Exit to s*y sports & let it update.

    EDIT - As Des said, its a newer b0x so you`ll need the 8.00 for the uk & the 7.09 for Ireland.

    The best thing to do is a factory reset

    Menu > factory setting
    Pin - 0000
    ok to delete

    TURN THE B0X OFF AT THE BACK FOR ONE MIN THEN TURN BACK ON

    English > installation
    choose provider
    auto scan > ok
    channels found
    Exit
    Menu > 1570
    Turn EMU on
    Exit back to channels.
