Scouser man, I followed the instructions to the letter and it still crashs when I go into the tv settings menu. Any ideas?

Cheers

 

Its ok, I figured it out, you have to lead the software and do a clear data again, and then reload the CDF.

Another question for you tho, my cousin has a box on Ch****, and the time is an hour behind, even though the program data is ok, any ideas?

Cheers

 

Yep thats the way to load it Nice with the widescreen now and booster onboard if needed. How did it look for you?

Regards the time thing he just needs to set it to GMT +1, but I wouldnt bother now as the clocks go back tonight.

 

Looks great sc0ucer picture seems clearer,and it gets rid of the problem with the previous firmware ,ie only picking up 5 tps,thanks for all the updates.

 

Looks deadly, I was always missing a bit of E4, its nice to have I must say, I set it to GMT +1 and it was still wrong, but maybe the time thing will sort it out. The new 2008 software is deadly isnt it? Pity they didnt get it done for the 2007.

 

Cheers Karl and Chris yes this box just gets better. Maybe the firmware guys have been listening to our crys for help as I received it from quiet a well known source in the community.

 

Excellent!
thanks to you guys (once again) for saving the day..

My signal had been getting worse and worse.
Just applied new flash, and all is working now, and picture quality is much better. Signal quality has jumped from 8% to 89%
Oh yeah, and the EPG looks much better now!

just wondering, i had the october software installed previously (06_09_07). Is there a fault in the software, or is something else causing the problem? Should I be applying this flash to only boxes with the problem, or all my boxes? Quite a few family friends have this, and would rather help them out, before I get a call saying pictures scrambling etc..

Also being a beta, should i expect another more stable version of the sotware in the near future?

thanks again...

Peace,

RedEyeZ

 

I'm a bit worried about installing it because of the beta title. Could this possibly break my box, or if there were to be issues would they be minor ones, because I'd be willing to give it a go if it was the latter.

Also, I have a red box, and does anyone know if there's any plans to get some firmware like this for that box?

 

Its Beta but it seems quite stable it was brought out to sort out the problems in the last Kuro image and to introduce widescreen support. I would recommend it to anyone with a Max V.

Regards the red firmware I am not sure if you will see a firmware that will match this, although never say never

 

Hi do you do the signal booster part before or after the flash, thanks.

 

Hi All,

Have been reading this thread and am having the exact same problem ...... after doing the full scan see no channels or transponders. Am on N*L in Dublin. What am I doing wrong??

Have checked the box and it has the latest version of the software on it (Oct 15th)

 

Have you pressed menu,installation,user installation,password,power scan,mode normal
start 290mhz
stop 500mhz
symbol rate 6887
then press ok on step 8 and wait for tps and channels exit to a premium channel ie sly prem,if you only 5tps you might have to do a manual scan for the rest let me now how you get on

 

did a full scan 100 to 770, then a normal scan from 200 to 400 but still nothing. It does not seem to be picking up any TPs at all. not sure what else I can do. Also have seen the thread about the new beta update, do you think this is the problem

 

could be, do you no how to manually scan user installation,channel edit(green button)then add (red button) put in these frequencies 291,299,307,315,323,339,347,355,363,371,379,395,403.exit back to user installation press ok on all the freqs you entered then manual scan(blue button).

 

ok did that and it seemed to work, picked up the channels and is now displaying a message ....... updating codes please wait

Is this normal? how long will this take

Just checked again and it's al sorted ...140 channels

Thanks for the help.

 

yeah should only take a few moments

 

nice one. thanks again,

do you recommend the beta update or is it a bit early to be trusting it.

if I need to update the box i will need some help, am a complete muppet with this sort of thing.

 

no bother my pleasure have you a null modem cable rs323 as there is new firmware out, it seems to fix the problem off the box not picking up the 13 tps also it gives you a widescreen option and a built in signal booster

 

your way ahead of me escape2! yeah i would recommend it have it on since friday widescreen looks great and the picture seems sharper,the lads in here are great with all the help and support you need,you seem quick on the uptake so id say you'd get the hang of it fairly quick
