    That's why I told chap to try a scan. If box scans in channs. he has Prov. signal.
    If you have time E would you look at Darky's thread"Is SV6 dead E45", I'd say you or Fintanni
    would be able to sort his router problem

    What exactly have you done by following "flash menu"
    Have you installed Carling 1.03 firmware using USB-stick
    Have you connected LAN-cable from router to STVU 7 adaptor
    Have you selected U-stream in network menu on box
    Is IP set-up set to auto-connect.
    Are auto-updates turned ON in emulator

    OK, you have 2 STVU7 boxes, 1 working[box1],& 1 not working[box2].
    On box1--MENU-OPTIONS-NETWORK-IP SETUP; write down IP address,Subnet mask,gateway.
    On box2--MENU-OPTIONS-NETWORK-IP SETUP; check if boxes have numbers or are empty.
    On box2; manually enter values in Subnet mask & Gateway exactly same as values in box1.
    ON box2; manually enter value in IP address, same as box1 except different last number.
    EXAMPLE:
    box1 IP address 192.168.1.15
    box2 IP address 1p2.168.1.25
    On box2; You can leave dns values empty. CLICK ON APPLY,then exit.
    On box2; Look in IP setup to check if values are saved and if dns values have auto-filled in.
    If box is still not connecting post back with details.
    I wonder if supplier has neglected to enable a batch of STVU 7 boxes as have seen on several
    forums that brand new STVU 7 boxes not connecting to internet.
