    HI,

    got The Box 2 in Nov 07, worked up until recently. Autoscan routine seems to find channels but data wont update even if I leave for ages on Sk Sports 2 etc

    from reading other posts I understand I have to update firmware to 4.57

    I am struggling with this. Last time I did it I had a real simple step by step instructions on a .pdf file (since deleted) of how what files to transfer and how to do it. HAve looked but cant find this.

    Will the GTRom4.00.exe file transfer the .rar file? If so how?

    thanks in advance

    You need the 4.03 loader, have a look at the second link under my sig.

    OK, have the v4.03_051005.exe file

    when i run this its looking for a .bin file not the .rar file ?

    You need the 4.57 on your desktop & you need winrar to extract the files. Bin file is correct.

    Excellent!

    files extracted + Bin file downloaded to box.

    I'll try it when I get home later...

    D'you reckon thats all I need to update + then do an autoscan?

    TA !

    You`ll need to turn the emu on & set the default key then exit to channels.
    If you`ve any problems, come back & we`ll help you get the b0x up & running.

    OK, at home trying it out,

    last time (nov 07) i got all channels on CH*R*S CORK as cable network

    this time there seems to be no Ch*r*s Cork but on Ch*r*s I am only getting 85 channels. DO you know how I can get the rest?

    menu > installation, make sure ch***S is set as provider.
    Do an autoscan & it should pick up the channels.

    yeah, that's what i'm trying...still 85 channels, no movies etc

    Back on the hidden menu on Nagravision its set to NT L, i've tried changing this to Ch*r*s (not sure if this is correct), but it wont store this setting

    Go into The cas system menu & set the default key, this will bring your provider back, then do an autoscan.
    If that doesnt work then do a factory reset.

    Menu > factory setting
    Pin - 0000. ok to delete

    TURN THE B0X OFF AT THE BACK FOR A MIN, THEN TURN BACK ON

    English > installation
    Choose provider
    Auto scan > press ok
    Channels found > exit
    Menu > 1570, Turn EMU on
    Exit, exit, exit.

    If you are getting the updating data message try it on either sly 2... Discovery Turbo.. or Sly Movies Indie , it should click in on one of those!!

    Thanks for that. I read through another few threads last night and spotted that. Worked a treat. Cheers again.

    Hi again,

    I'm still only getting 85 channels. Have done factory reset and default key.

    Its scanning 13 TP's on Ch*r*s and finding 85, on other network its not finding any. In Nov 07, i got best results on Chr**s Cork but this option is not present since updating software.

    Does anyone know if Limerick Ch*r*s is the same as everywhere else?

    There's no email addresses, or info on codes allowed on AD.

    I'd edit my last post if i was you, before the mods see it.
