    Try this method

    Menu > Factory Setting
    PIN 0000
    OK to delete

    Turn box off at the back for a minute and turn back on

    Reflash it again


    English > Installation
    Choose Provider etc
    Automatic Scan
    Press OK
    Channels found
    Exit

    Press Menu then 1570
    Turn EMU key ON

    Exit , exit , exit

    Thanks for that yes it crashed again so tried your way and when i automatic scan it it just crashes back to the picture the box at 20%. Then went blank and had to turn of at the back.which is what happened before so no different.Then i tried again and it found all channels at 100% and turned on emu exit and it came straight on all channels. But this is what keeps happening . It has been on for about 1 hour and not crashed .Thanks for your advice i will let you no if it stays on but don't hold much hope off that thanks soll

    I had the same problem as you i had thats problem for at least 4 days maybe more cant remember i done evrything reflashed done a system restore you name it done it . open it up to see if maybe the C11 had fried . I could possibly be a hardware fault rather than a software fault getting a guy to give my a once over he recons he can get it going . if i get any joy will let you know what the cause is .
    cheers

    I think thats the problem with mine . I have gave my sv to a guy my end to check over, if and when i get it back i will let you know the result . yes you can fix it you have to replace the C11 dont ask me how I think there is info on one of the thread on how to do it . You can buy them from fleabay or mapln .
    cheers
