Does HD channels work anywhere in Dublin or does your area have to be upgraded?

 

Does HD channels work anywhere in Dublin or does your area have to be upgraded?

 

yes, HD chans are available from UPCCC, but there is not box currently getting them except there own

 

Yes, i formatted the usb to FAT32. I was able to load the other firmware onto the box, just seem to have a problem with the file in this thread.

 

how many files did you load on the box ??

you only need to load the file that is for your box either guinness or carling one

them files are for the lan hd box only so if you have the NON lan box the files will not work on that box so that is prob why you are getting that message

 

I first tried loading the fi*mware at the beginning of this thread onto the box but kept getting the error message i was on about. Tried 2 or 3 nights in a row. Then i searched the forum for the error message and saw other people were getting the same one back a couple of months ago (with the firm*are that was out at that time) but as newer f*rmware came out they were able to flash their box and prob went away. So i put the two files on per method in the earlier thread i mentioned. The box currently has that fir*ware on it.

Hope i haven't messed the box up by doing that. What should i do now? Factory reset and keep trying to put the firmw*re from this thread on the box?

 

Ok first things first what box do you have is it the one with the lan connection or the one without the lan connection ??

 

This is what i bought....

It has a port for an ethernet cable

 

ok if you are sure your box has an ethernet connection follow below

1 do a full factory reset on your box
2 format the usb stick again in your pc to fat32
3 get rid of any other combo files you have on your desktop so you cant get the next ones mixed up

4 download this file first and copy and past the file only to your usb stick
Old Combo file
5 when you have that done get it up and running then factory reset the box again
6 then download the file below and put that on your box then
UK FIX FILE HERE
7 then rescan your box and hopefully this sorts the problem out let me know thanks

 

Thanks a lot for you help on this... It worked in that both f*rmware went on ok and the scan picked up all the channels. However, only the free to air channels are working and the rest are scrambled. Waited 10 mins on scrambled channel but nothing... i'm in Ireland so maybe 2nd carling fir*ware was for uk only?

 

sorted now, just turned on istream... thanks again. What was the problem?

 

sorry e45 not hijacking here but yes carling file is for uk shane

 

ours is not to wonder why but to do or die so no questions


np hooter but that file will work in both Ireland and Uk no different i have been told

 

i see

 

Got quite excited when scan at 256 QAM brought in some HD channels, still they are all scrambled... per numerous posts before i'm presuming there is no way to unscramble?

 

if you are in ireland NO if you are in the uk that should work

 

try in menu,accessory and type 8989 and make sure key edit both are on

 

Hi Guys. Could really do with some help. I was having similar connection problems with error (206). Unfortunately while trying to troubleshoot it, my MAC address became corrupted and is now stuck at 0A:00:00:00:00:00. I know at one stage I was able to manually alter the MAC address in IP setup, but now it is greyed out. Can anyone confirm whether this is because i've moved onto later fimwares i.e firmwares dated 05/26 and 05/29 or whether others can still alter their MACs on these firmwares.

 

did you put the new file on your box that fixes the 206 error its on my post a few posts back if you want to look
