    dont mind the warning!!! to sort out your other problem press menu then input 1570 and turn on the EMU go back to the channels and it should click in!!

    If you are sure the emu is on try turning off the box for a minute or two then go to sky spots and it should say updating data% after a couple of minutes it will click in, make sure all cable are connected fully and in the right holes!!

    is this an old box that was working,try setting default key and exit box should go into update mode,if new box u will need to add the cryptstar patch to get box working again.make sure coaxial is going into cable input.

    V*rg*n turned all boxes off today 09.30hrs due to servicing server then change over from anolog etc means that this will take a few hours to so all areas should be up and running within 5 hours as normal, do not try and retuning them in as they will detect your box and this might cause problems, sit back wait a few hours and let it kick in this applies to starv*ew, ma*x, etc this has been happening with the internet over the last couple of weeks around 02.30hrs for short periods too. sit back and relax

    nothing undetectable m8 they can do line output test, voltage test, see what amps your receiving and then higher the output to blow your box like they did oct 2007 to all the modems,hence the flashing lights and locked out modems, but this cost too much for them to do often but now and then they will,boxes just works same as internet modems send and receive signals, ip address servers etc, just they use open network so easy to tap into, they are starting to get on top of things now, better owner, better money and better people to employ also working with the police now too and starting to prosecute people using them something the last 3 owners never did????????
