just reading your post have u got aerial lead into cable input,and how many ch.s found, no signal means aerial in wrong place!

 

just back from maplin (got fleeced€50 for the cables!)
when i click on those links that you provided(http://eko.4shared.com/account/file.jsp?...RUCQpALxcoDRHw6) it just asks me to register which i did but there are no files or information there?

ps. the areial was plugged in thanks!

 

apologies links are working now1 do i need to have the box hooked up to the computer and the tv at the same time??

 

No only pc need to be hooked up to did you read the tutorial on the site i gave you you need the box in standby mode use the remote you will see the 12:00 on the front then start the flash and wait till after you see the 100% wait another 1min for another message saying download compleat and you see the on sign on the front of the box ok

 

nearly there only prob i have now is that when i am downloading the .bin file to the box it says "flash update fail..."

 

what way are you doing it are you using the adapter on the cable or what

 

yep using the usb adapter cable as i dont have a 9pin port on my pc!

 

ok before you plugged the adapter in did you run the disc that came with it as you need to get that to work first then plug adapter in then null cable to the end of the adapter and the other part to the box in standby

 

yep using the usb adapter cable as i dont have a 9pin port on my pc!

 

read the post above this and tell me did you do that

 

never got a disc!

 

when you plugged in the adapter did your computer say found new hardware and start looking for a disc for it

or did it say hardware installed or what
