Do you know how to fix this?
Just in case this is what you are looking to do.
you need a Null Modem, lead(female/female serial).
Download the 150 patched firmware save it
Download this updater here,
http://www.ferguson-digital.eu/en/downl...romUpgrade.zip/
Connect your box (switched off) to a com port on pc with your lead.
run eromupgrade
make sure to tick bootloader
browse to where you saved firmware image and load it to updater
click next
at this stage switch on your box
the box will be flashed with the image.
That gets around the ash error.
If your stuck any way at all , let me know.
Its pretty easy.

Does anyone have a channel file for ariva 120? I did auto scan and got no movie channels and I think if iget a chan list from someone who has them - they will appear.
Thanks folks!

I fixed it through Rs232, but now I'm getting random restarts. Has anyone faced similar problems? Could it be because of c/s or because of overheating?

Don't think so, Mine has been working fine with the modified firmware, what version did you use?
I think Mickah might have had a problem with heat.
Make sure that the shrink wrap plastic has been fully removed from all vent holes.

These boxs overheat, if you have anything on it or beside it or its on top of anything it will heat up and the pic will start to jump badly, CCAM on these boxs cause them to jump, but when it runs hot its the same, I have seen various issues with these boxs, from lip sync issues, CCAM not working, not clearing chans, freezing, the box needign to restarted as it froze on a menu, I think its pot luck if you get a good one that doesnt have any of the issues mentioned
there is a new firmware out yesterday, so I wonder if the patched version will address the issues

I guess I got lucky (I returned the 1st box I got due to the ASH issue), so far the N line I've had since last Thursday is working fine.
I am careful to keep it as cool as possible, moved it away from my AV amp and I might fit an old computer fan to the top of it to help with cooling.

micah, the 3rd link in your sig for the ariva 150 is actually for the ariva 250.
unfortunately i didnt spot this in time, and now i've screwed up my box. have to try out the null modem cable fix next time i can get a pc with a serial port.

no prob mickah... my own fault should have checked the file. back up and running now with the new firmware.
pudz, i haven't noticed any great change. still glitches with a c-line after it heats up 2/3 hours, but goes okay again after a reboot.
i'm interested in the timer recording improvement mentioned in the change log. i've found that you have to leave the box on the correct channel if you want to do a timer recording, otherwise it just records a black screen (only happens on pay channels). will try to see if this has changed tomorrow maybe.

Hi Baxtard,
Have to agree with Mickah, watched from 2 pm until 1.00 AM on Saturday using an N line with minimal glitching (usually induced after multiple channel hopping). C lines from various sources have been poor to awful with this box. Once as a Cline glitches it's gone for 20 secs, with the N line if it does occur it's only a "shudder".
PM me and I'll reply with a recommendation for a test line.

Guys im not being funny and im probably the exception to the rule but I have set up 3 ariva 250's, 1 ariva 150, and an ariva 120, all with c lines and have never encountered any of this glitching that you speak of. It must be only with a certain batch of boxes. i find the ariva a very solid box and way better in a number of aspects to the dms500 I upgraded from.

hi bee, I have come to the conclusion that these boxs have a fair share of issues with them, from one end of the scale to the other, lip sync issues, freezing and the box needing a restart, apps not working, chans not clearing going from FTA to encrypted after 10 mins of viewing the FTA chan, the software is glitchy (no now and next in a lot of cases)
Thats just some of the issues reported, which leads me to believe that there is a batch of these going around not up to scratch, for example, I changed mine and got another, brand new, same issue with it not clearing chans after been on FTA, a mate got one, brand new, same thing, different seller, so there is something a miss somewhere, the Cline issue, we are all using the same firmware, so its not that, so it has to be certain batches of boxs, eithe faulty tuners or chips, now the 150's dont seem to be as bad as the 250's with the issues above and thats going by what I have read on other sites, suchs boards.ie etc and from others who have them

I'm using an n line on my ariva now lads, with much better results.
I do have a question though. Is there anyway to check the ecm times like there is on say a dream box.
Also, sometimes I get a little glitching on some channels only. particularly when there is a big match on. If I change to a more obscure channel, the glitching has stopped. Is it fair to say if a lot of people are watching one channel, does that channel get glitchy, because there is too much demand on the server. Ie, the keys or codes that are being shared, are they exclusive to each channel?

depends on who the line is with, their set up, how many cards, how many hops (what card is clearing your chan or certain chans), but yes there is load on the cards at times like matches etc,

Is there a channel editor for the 150 that will work with the flashed firmware?
