    I recently purchased the box super sv3 and flashed it but i never got any channels and assumed its because of the recent problems in uk. I have now reflashed it with the box super fix "GTrom_super 8.02e" but still cannot get any channels. its just scanning a total of 28 channels which are all failing. Is there more firmware that i need?

    my sys info is as follows:

    API ver: 8.02eE
    Boot ver:8.00

    Please help

    if you only getting apox 34 channels then most likely you havent installed properly using the gtrom loader...you could possibly have unplugged the null cable before its finished writing...34 channels means only free to air channels and radio channels...it wont harm to reinstall from loader ,follow the procedure in the starview firmware updating link found in scouser or hiteck's threads,and make sure you factory reset after that before you scan...if you get mostly fails,i.e when scanning you should get an initial 6% reading at the bottom of the screen,which will then go to 2% and the shoot up...if you dnt,then try another network..hope that helps

    gardener: I have used the same guide as the one on the link you gave
    me until it said download completed already. Thats why i am confused because i followed it and it flashed but on connecting to tv and scanning for channels nothing happens.

    What am missing? I downloaded the firmware and flashed the box
    following the guide notes and the download was complete.
    I then connected the box to the tv, making sure my artenna cable
    goes into the cable input socket on the box. connected the scart lead
    as instructed. I then do the auto installation, chosing my provider
    as i researched to be Ntl. The scanning then starts with a total of 28
    channels which all fail, i cant even get BBC1. I try to exit but cannot
    get past the laungage menu. I have done the factory reset
    and scanned again and again but no change. My parental control is greyed
    out assuming its because i have no channels. I have gone into the CAS menu,
    turn the EMU: ON, but no joy

    i have used the recent GTrom_super_8.02eFix
    my sys info is:

    Api ver: 8.02e
    Boot ver:8.00
    30 November 2008

    I am buffled and confused, Please help.

    Thanx very much.

    Got them back by doing this

    Turn the b0x off at the back for a min, turn it back on & leave it on s*y sports & see if it updates. If not Go up one channel & it might kick in.
