the box super 3

have you made sure the provider id is n** and all cables in correct also maybe put emu on before you scan i found this helped on some boxes. Try the scan without any splitters on cable also, are the 24 little bands are these the tp's your talking about as I always pick up about 38 to 41 of these.

 

the cable isnt going through any splitters,cables correct,just tried to put the emu on and it is now picking up tv channels,and yes the bands as i was calling them were the tp's and there is only 24 where i am ,when i exited onto the tv channels i put on sky sports. message now reads info data is being updated...(0%) and isnt moving from there at least 4 minutes like that. is this the norm?
wheelo

 

Some boxes are having lazy updates as were calling them, some people are finding bbc 1, mtv, dicovery etc are bringing in data updates quicker, I myself always switch to s** sports, if it dos'nt happen soon try switching it off and then back on at the back of box.

 

no joy unfortunately,i powered it off at the back also, still the same data being updated. do these lazy updates take minutes or hours and while they are happening does the (0%) stay at zero or does it gradually go higher?
thanks for your patience,
just so i am not being a total jerkweed the API ver 4.50e_E, Boot ver 7.0, 5.jul.2007. is this the correct firmware, dublin enteehell.
wheelo

 

Wheelo what box is it, is it starview, the box or the box super, what does it say on the front of box.
sounds like the box judging by firmware but just to be sure post whats on front of box.

 

it says"the box"in the top left and "digital receiver" in top right and dvb on the black plastic front. i really only have an idea about the replay lite hence i am begging for info here tonight.
wheelo

 

u need to find a channel with a stronger signal,when u land on it,it will start moving in 10-15 secs.

 

Try this
menu> set default key
exit and see if it updates.

 

check ur private message.

 

no joy to that either, but cactikid says go through the channels till find a strong enough one to update the box. i will keep trying this anyway, but any other suggestions?
wheelo

 

A bit baffled now wheelo, if I think of anything else will post, if you get it sorted let us know how,

 

its a problem with some boxes in irl they are not updating,and if it does not update,manual data entry needed.

 

Whats with the PM's, share the info cactikid LOL,

Keep moving channels leave it 1 min then move again, start on discovery channels and work you way through them.

 

Yea, I had same problem a few weeks ago, even with proper fw on box, would'nt update and a certain manual input was needed,;-)

Wheelo Pm.
Hiteck pm.

 

Wheelo the problem with the codes all saying zero try this

press menu
then 1570
then press on select default key
go back to S*y sports
data should update and save

if that fails

factory reset
scan channels
then exit
menu
1570
set default key
exit
data update
then menu
1570
set emu to on
ou do in that order ive had a few boxes do your problem and doing the instructions above in that order seems to of fixed them
make sure y

 

had the same problem all mornin here in mayo,finally updated on s*y sport news,

 

anto, cactikid, hi teck, djgrapey
and everyone who tried to help an old man getting older by the minute last night, it seems that you were all a little right as after following all your instructions last night, my friends son now has possession of a box that has all channels. i rescanned channels, reset emu on, played with 1570 menu, but in the end i think(cant be sure) it was channel 4 that updated everything-only problem was ch4 was about 100 channels after i started.
anyway thanks a million
wheelo

 

time and patience needed well done

 

in fairness the help on this and other afterdawn threads has always amazed me, but then again i have only begun to try become tech savvy since my 37th birthday, knowledge shared is a beautiful thing ............and its all free.
thanks again
wheelo
