    Right heres the crack guys. Everything you need is in this image simply go to menu and Autosearch transponder. Scroll right to the bottom of the list and choose your provider i.e Bruteforce UK Chorus etc.

    Do a scan once this is finished go to a premium channel. I always select bravo.

    Click info for few seconds restart the cam and WAIT!

    Within a few minutes you will have everything.

    GUYS I HAVE TSETED THIS BEFORE I POSTED IT UP SO I KNOW IT WORKS.

    Also i deleted the keys from the keylist.txt as it rolls and adds its own keys for your provider so you will only have 2 lines in your keylist txt.

    You should still be able to view FTa channels. So just insert the roms again into the correct folder.

    If you dont have them simply reflash the image that suits you.

    All the panic button does is delete the files that you need in order to view the other channels.

    Cheers

    Chris

    Hey, I posted earlier in the thread but I didn't have cables to update the box and also had no laptop as it was in repairs.

    I now have a null modem cable and a com to usb adaptor (thanks to markarman for that idea and all his help)

    I will try update it tomorrow, just to get it straight, I need to flash the box with the null modem image above and follow the instructions markarman told me a few pages back (i'm sure they are right, no need to check).

    What's with the flash wizard image, is this the program i need to use to flash the box?

    Thanks again to cgscott and markarman.

    the flash wizard image is another version of the same image that you can use a programme called a flash wizard to put onto the box, this requires a crossover cable or a hub and is generally more complicated than the null modem cable method.

    in order to flash the null modem image using a null modem cable you need a programme called dreamup.

    you can find this in eamos library, (i think i posted a link to eamos library a while back.) if you cant find it pm me your email addy and i will email you a zipped copy

    Let us know how you get on

    good luck

    have you tried just letting the DK image screensaver boot up... ie turn box on, and just leave it, dont press ANY buttons, just let it sort itself out for a few minutes?

    it sounds like you did a flash erase or clicked perform a flash erase whilst flashing cg scotts new image. lol i done that myself and it sucks.

    assuming the box still connects to the pc you need to use dreamup to perform a flash erase.
    then you should flash one of the older images (i used the gemini image)
    then you need to flash cg scotts new image over the top and when you are asked if you would like to perform a flash erase
    CLICK NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    when you reboot the bos (unplug the mains and plug back in) all should be fine.

    you will be presented with the dk screen image and you can acces the menus to scan services.

    let me know how you get on

    cheers
