When did you last flash the box, because the version of firmware you have on it is the version that was modified in April this year to AU, and will show as what you posted above. So if you have only just got it as you say in your previous post then try a scan and see what happens first, you may have the up to date moddified firmware already on, do a Factory re-set first as below.


• Press menu and Factory Re-set OK, English OK Installation OK
• Select correct provider i.e. NTL, C/W or TW
• Then automatic scan OK
• Once the channels are found, exit back to the blank screen
• Press menu then 1570,
• Go down to the bottom option and turn EMU to ON.
• Now exit 3 times and go to S*y Sports and see if it updates.

 

im sorry i have the box a while now, but when you couldn,t post anymre codes i left it alone for a while. i done exactly wat you said to do and it says data isbeing updated , but it stays at 0%. itried flashing it following the info out of eamo's library, but it kept on saying flash failed, i,m kinda new to this stuff at the mo

 

What are you using - are you using a NULL MODEM lead direct to the PC, and what OP system is it XP or Vista.

 

yea using a null serial lead rs232 and a USB serial converter, imsing a laptop and it is running on xp

 

Then your problem is that you have not assigned the USB adaptor to the correct COMM port, that is of coarse if you are quite sure that you do have NULL MODEM lead and not a straight through serial lead, this is no good to you, the NUL MODEM is wired as below, where are you and what provider.

RS232 Null modem cable wired,

Pin 2 ---------- Pin 3
Pin 3 ---------- Pin 2
Pin 4 ---------- Pin 6
Pin 5 ---------- Pin 5
Pin 6 ---------- Pin 4
Pin 7 ---------- Pin 8
Pin 8 ---------- Pin 7

 

yeah i think you might be right bout me havving the wrong lead. its made by NIKKIA pure connectivity , it just says serial lead RS232 female to female, on the box, im guessing that its a straight trough not a NULL modem,i hav alot to learn way as far as this stuff goes

 

It does look that way, it appears the incorrect lead alright, you will have to get a NULL MODEM, sent you a pm.

 

hello, i was informed sky 1 is now available, i have done auto and manual scans, found sky 2 & 3, but no sky 1, any thoughts on this please

 

Hadford ..give us a clue ..wereabouts are you, and who is your provider??

 

I need a help again lads. I've teh starveiw (old box) in Ireland and I'm on N*L.

I've updated it with 4.00 (is that correct? should it be 4.50?)

I'm only getting 48 channels after the scan. When I turn emu on and go to sly sprots it trys to update and doesn't get past 0%.

Any idea how to trouble shoot?

 

Sniipe,
will you press menu then system info and tell me what it says!!

 

my bad des, got it working after a restart.

 

Good ... panic over so!!

 

Maybe if peeps did some checking first before posting they would be better off

1 if no signal == check the cable both ends

2 if no power == check plug

3 no picture == check scart lead is plugged in correctly and full 21 pin both ends

4 no channels found == make sure you are scanning on correct provider

 

hello again, i am in the east midlands with v--gin as provider, like i said i did installation scan and several extra channels including sky 2 & 3 but no sky 1. please help
