Hi, Wondered if anyone can help. For a few days I've been getting a message saying Invalid box on my SV4. Now it's just turned itself off and I can't switch it back on. There are no lights on the front of it coming on, but when I switch it on and off on the back of the box there is a power up noise from my TV but then nothing. I recently put the new V1.10 software on it and that's when it all went to pot. Any help will be really appreciated.
Sounds like you got a clone, is the a heatsink on the CPU. Look through the grills on the top of the box, if you see a silver square on the CPU you have a clone. I would ask for a replacement as a clone will not work with the latest firmware. It is the 1.10 firmware that kills the bootloader.
Yeah got a silver square just off to the centre on the right through the slats on top of the box. I take it I've got a clone then! The guy I bought it from was on ebay so looks like I'm screwed, ah well lesson learnt. Thanks for your help
I wouldnt give up that easy Show me the link from fleabay and I will take a look. Did you try to contact them?
Yeah, the actual sale was removed by ebay but the transaction went thru & I received the box in due course. I have tried to contact the lad who sold it me but to no avail.
Sorry to hear that and it is unfortunate that you cannot contact them. There are quite a few recommended sellers here and across all the forums, you have been unlucky as you said.
No worries mate - Like I said I'll put it down to experience. Where can I find a reputable reseller then that won't sell me a clone?!
Google Wizardsatellites UK they are the main distributors and will only sell genuine models. There are other boxes though
yep other is right as i dont think we can say 100% all channels,other genuine supplier if u goggle skywonder in uk all originals.
Do you mean that the SV4 is prone to channel loss even if it is an original box? It's all good advice and I do appreciate your input
the latest fix does not bring back all channels,6 or 8 missing the fix needs a fix,it is always a good idea to read the latest threads for info to get the jist of things,the more u know now can help in the future. just to note channel loss can be put down to movement aswell
Yeah good call. I'm probably gonna get another SV4 from a decent supplier that you guys reccomended and hopefully all the channels back! I'll keep my eye on the threads before I get the box though to see what's said in the mean time. Many thanks to both of you
