    Hi,
    I got TheBox api ver:2.60e boot ver :7.0 09/apr 2007

    I cant even get the secret menu to appear.
    I'm in Dublin so based on what I've read here I need to
    update the firmware using a null modem cable to: http://eko.4shared.com/account/file...H20070705_450eE_api.html?sId=uf0ttWWKOPVNXo6N
    before it will work.
    Is this correct?
    Is it the only solution?

    So I have been sold something that doesn't work?
    Is this common or have I just been unlucky?

    No you havent been ripped, you need to load the latest software for the The Box for Ireland before you can access the menu. Have a look at the link you posted and follow the instructions
