Hi milltown5,
Good to see you got your box working.
My settings are;
Perental lock; off
Install lock; off
Auto updates; off
your current password might now be 0000 because of upgrade to 752.
change new password to 7777
I normally leave my box on standby, but sometimes I switch off the plug in the wall, but leave box still connected.
I haven't had any problems Yet.
The reason I turn it off at the wall socket is because the voltage converter on the power lead can get very very hot, so i let it cool down now and again, mostly weekends.
Hope this helps brother,

Hi gang and well done redroy on flashing the box.
It?s all about the timing.
Times for cloning and flashing.
I have done this with a stopwatch so the times are bang on.
To clone a box takes 3mins 42 secs.
So if you give it 5mins then it should be ok.
But make sure the led is flashing much more quickly than it did when you first powered the box for cloning.
To flash a box.
When you see the blocks start to transfer.
It takes 4 mins for the box to be updated.
But make sure you see the led flashing much more quickly than it did when the blocks were transferring as some boxes might take more time.
Good luck all.

Hi paulmcp,
you are doing evertything right up to when the other screen opens.
The file you are looking came along with the file for the stb.
Its replay_lite_752 drag it out out of the folder you have it in-to your desktop and when you hit upgrade software box, go to desktop and click on replay_lite_752
The file will then start transferring, you will see it on your pc.
There are 515 blocks of information to be downloaded. Allow the link to download and write the information to your box. During this time you will see the LED light on the Replay Lite flashing red/green approx every second.
When all blocks are transferred WAIT till you see the led flashing much more quickly than it was when the blocks were transferring,
So wait another 3 minutes after you see all blocks transferred.
Exit the stb.
Unplug the null modem lead.
Power the box again and go to say S#y Sports and wait for it to unscramble.
If you have any problem with sound, simply turn off/on the box and the sound will come in.
Best of luck brother.BRIAN1956

Hi lyndon70,
PLEASE BE PATIENT AND TAKE YOU?RE TIME.
I HAVE JUST DONE THE FOLLOWING STEP BY STEP AND IT WORKS
YOU WILL HAVE TO FLASH THE BOX WITH 744 SOFTWARE
http://rapidshare.com/files/38267977/Replay_Lite_v744.zip.html
AND THEN WITH 752
Each of the files below contain Replay Lite Software version 7.52, the STB/PC interface (stb5.20) and full instructions tailored for either UK or Ireland.
Ireland http://rapidshare.com/files/35886550/Rep....52_ie.zip.html
UK http://rapidshare.com/files/35886412/Replay_Lite_752_uk.zip.html
A Null Modem Cable is required which can be purchased for ?18. from Maplins Dublin city centre or if you can wait to have it delivered you can purchase online for a fraction of the cost plus postage. One example of where they can be purchased online is http://www.amazon.co.uk/StarTech-com-Nul...9/dp/B00006B8BJ
Flashing your Replay Lite Box
Before you start you must have the following:
1. A Null Modem Cable L71 BT ( ABOUT 18 EURO ) IN MAPLINS
2. A PC with a free COM Port (9 pin male port)
3. Software STBlink5.20 (Client) (the software which flashes the box) plus the file which puts has the coding software 752 for the Replay Lite Box onto the actual unit.
click Stblink5.20 Client and UNTICK the maintain user data box.
select upgrade software,
upload the 744 file.
There are 515 blocks of information to be downloaded. Allow the link to download and write the information to your box. During this time you will see the LED light on the Replay Lite flashing red/green approx every second.
When all blocks are transferred, your pc will read all transferred.
WAIT for another 3-5 mins, the box will take a little more time to read the blocks, even though your pc has read all transferred. WHEN the led flash much more quickly than it did when the where being visibly transferred, the box is upgraded.
IMPORTANT
EXIT STB LINK AND THEN UNPLUG THE BOX AND NULL MODEM LEAD.
POWER UP THE BOX AGAIN. THE LED WILL FLASH RED/GREEN.
WAIT UNTIL THE LED STAYS ON GREEN.
THEN RECONNECT NULL MODEM LEAD AND UPGRADE WITH 752, AS ABOVE.
ANYONE UPDATING FROM 744 TO 752.
Plug in the null modem lead, PC & Replay Box. Switch on Replay Box and press the Setup Comm button on the stb link 5.20 If it?s connected a blue line will move from left to right confirming that a connection has been made.
KEEP MAINTAIN user box TICKED
Then press the Upgrade Software Button and choose the appropriate file for your box. The Lite file is currently Version 752
There are 515 blocks of information to be downloaded. Allow the link to download and write the information to your box. During this time you will see the LED light on the Replay Lite flashing red/green approx every second.
When all blocks are transferred, your pc will read all transferred.
WAIT for another 3-5 mins, the box will take a little more time to read the blocks, even though your pc has read all transferred. WHEN the led flash much more quickly than it did when the where being visibly transferred, the box is upgraded.
EXIT STB LINK AND THEN UNPLUG THE BOX AND NULL MODEM LEAD.
POWER UP THE BOX AGAIN.
Your unit should be flashed and ready to use.
If you already had your channels tuned in they will be still there, flick through the channels until they unscramble. It can take up to a minute or two to find the codes from cable network.
If you have no channels you?ll need to do a channel scan. Go to Auto Search. You will note that the Symbol Rate is set to 6887 & 6952. This needs to be changed to just 6887 NHELL.IE as it will cut the search time in half. You can use the left/right arrow to change it or you can just type it in with the remote. Now press search and it will take about 20 minutes.
During the search it will not start to find channels for about the first 5-10 minutes as it has to go through all of the frequencies. It will eventually find around 242 TV and 63 Radio but it will reduce this amount to around 130 TV and 40 Radio as it deletes the duplicates. When it is finished scanning the ?Scanning? button will change to ?View?
Press view and this will save your channels.
If you see 1800 Scrambled ? just wait a minute or so for the keys to update. You will only have to do this once.
Once your first scrambled channel comes in ? they all will!
There is a small glitch in the software which means that the ?info? button is not working. A patch will be developed for this.
IF YOU HAVE TROUBLE WITH SOUND, SWITCH OFF/ON THE BOX AND THE SOUND WILL BE OK
Setting up the Favourites Menu
1. Press the menu button
2. Navigate to the Channel Manager Section (top of screen)
3. Go to the TV Channel section and press OK
4. The TV Channel Manager is now available
5. By default you are now on Favourite 1 (pressing the RED button will take you through favourites 1-8).
6. Pressing the GREEN (edit) button allows you to change the Favourite 1 Menu to something more appropriate. I?ve set my favourites 1-8 as follows
a. 1. Popular TV
b. 2. Movies
c. 3. Sport
d. 4. Factual
e. 5. UK TV
f. 6. Music
g. 7. Kids
h. 8. Your Choice
7. When you press the Green Button you will have the option to RENAME FAV (navigate to this and press OK). You can now manually rename the Favourite to what you want,
8. As you scroll through the channel listings you can add your favourites as follows. If you have a favourite called Popular TV you may want to add the standard freeview channels. When you navigate to BBC 1 press the OK button and a Smiley Face will appear next to the channel ? this means it has been added to this favourites menu.
9. When you have finished (with for example ? Popular TV) press the RED Button and you will now be on Favourites 2 (pressing the RED button will scroll you through each of the EIGHT Favourite menus). If as I?ve done you?ve renamed Favourites 2 to Movies you may want to add Sky Movies 1/2/3/4 etc
10. When you are finished with your favourites ? press exit and the data will be saved.
ABOVE ALL BE PATIENT,
GOOD LUCK ALL

Hi lyndon70.
Sorry that not work for you.
You might have to force the 744 flash a few times.
Before you do any reflash alwaysunplug everything out of the box.
Try restarting your computer with the null modem cable connected.
Is it a null modem lead: maplins part number L71BT?
Even if it stays on red, unplug everything and onlyconnect the power lead and try again with 744.
If you know anyone in your area with an updated box, you can have it cloned.
What part of the country are you in, I am dub 9.
ABOVE ALL BE PATIENT,
BRIAN1956

Hi paulmcp,
The 752 file doesn't have to be opened, just transfered to the box.
When you hit the upgrade software button, just highlight the 752 file on your desktop. The stbwill do the rest. You shouldn't need anything else. You should then see the files transferring, after your PC reads all transferred, WAITanother 2 minutes for the box to read all the files, you will see the led flashing much more quickly than it did when the files were transferring.
If this doesn't work, you can get the box cloned by someone in your area who has an updated box.
Good luck Paul,

Hi lydon70,
Sorry for the delay in getting back to you, but I think I have a solution to your problem.
Download the file from the link below. It's 742a file.
http://www.speedyshare.com/975252842.html
Flash the box. Remember UNTICK maintain user data.
Wait until all the blocks are transferred and WAIT a couple of more minutes fro the led to flash much more rapidily than it did when you could visibly see when the blocks were transferring.
Unplug everything and only connect the power lead.
Wait for the led to flash red/green and then stay on green.
Then flash with 744
http://www.speedyshare.com/672799881.html
AND FLASH WITH 752 OR CLONE WITH SOMEONE WHO HAS 752 ALREADY IN THEIR BOX. Each of the files below contain Replay Lite Software version 7.52, the STB/PC interface (stb5.20) and full instructions tailored for either UK or Ireland.

Are you sure you have got the correct cable, a few mates of mine at work bought from Maplins what they where told was the Null Modem cable, but in fact it was the wrong one.
It needs to be the right one with crossed over wires.
Make sure you have the correct cable.
