    appreciate it if someone can help!
    I've just bought The Box PVR.
    I flashed it with the " PVR Loader v3.36s Sept 7 2005 " and the "BoxPVR_E_v4500_jul " Flash went ok. When i try to scan for channels it dose'nt bring any up, i am on the correct provider.
    When scanning the signal quality is orange and says UNLOCK and there is no level signal, both show 0.0 percent,i know the incomming signal is good as i had a Eurovox connected previously.

    Hi
    You may be better off with the latest F/W v4.506 Oct it is in the link below if you need it, but first make sure you are plugged into the correct socket at the back (one of the four together) marked up. NOT the antenna socket. The manual is wrong.
    Before doing a scan Goto Menu / Installation and make sure the (Cable Network Option) top item is set to your local provider if not correct it by using the right / Left arrow keys on your remote, then move down to Autoscan and wait till it has finished scanning.
    If channels not clearing after a scan goto Menu / System Setup / Press OK when the Parental Control line in yellow is highlighted then press i then 2007, this should take you the the CAS SYSTEM. (May need to do this a couple of times quite slowly with your remote to get into CAS SYSTEM) When you are there and with Nagravision 1,11 highlighted in Yellow Press ok, On the Provider ID Line select the same provider as earlier by using the left/right arrow buttons on remote then press the LAST (load default) button on your remote, then the OK button to(Store) wait for it to save then press exit, the make sure Autoupdate option is On (Bottom Item in Cas System Menu.)(This is the equiv of the EMU) Exit out Got to a scrambled channel and wait.
