put it on to one of the premium channels and give it a few minutes. It will update.

Sorry not very good at this sort of stuff!!
Thanks for the info, if you give it the thumbs up i will try it over the weekend.
if u read the instructions above, you have to flash again and back with 7.42 and then with 9.10
If you have 7.52 - i repeat again, you have to flash with 7.42 and then 9.10, as the 9.10 is not compatable with 7.52

No, it's highly unlikely that a Laptop or even the newer Desktops would have a com port.
You will need both the USB adapter & the NULL Modem Cable.

Did you install the software driver for the adapter & then manually set the COM port number in the Windows Device Manager for it?

Was the firmware you downloaded a ZIP, RAR or EXE file?

You do know that you need to unzip that file before you can load it in ti STBlink?
Here's how to find check & set your COM Port in Windows,
Do the following.
START
Right Click "MY COMPUTER"
Choose "MANAGE"
In the resulting window, click on "DEVICE MANAGER"
In the right hand pane, click on the little plus sign beside "PORTS" in the right hand pane.
Right click on the USB Adapter (Should be something like "Prolific USB-to-Serial Comm. Port (COM#)
Choose "Properties"
Click on "PORT SETTINGS" TAB
Click on "ADVANCED"
Then you will see the COM Port Number Box. You should be able to change it there using the drop down box.
Try to set it to COM2
Restart Windows
Set STBLink to COM2 & try to connect.
If that fails try another port number.

I have done many in the last two days & only one produced the problem you are experiencing.
All I done was powered off the box waited a minute, powered up again & done the scan again, It then found all the channels.
How To Upgrade (Flash) Replay Lite: (NTL Ireland)
Connect the null modem lead to the box and your PC.
Open up the Stblink
Untick ?Maintain User Data?
Click the Upgrade software button.
Browse to the 910 firmware file on your PC.
From when you start to see the blocks transfer, it takes 4 Mins Approx 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. If you leave for even 5 mins it will be OK.
Unplug everything and head for the TV.
Connect the power lead only.
Wait for the led to flash red/green and then stay on green.
If it does not turn green pretty quick, use the remote to turn it on.
Then connect SCART and TV cables.
You might have to unplug the box again and then power it up for a second time.
Now: Do a full scan. (Should only take 5 Min Approx)
Menu
User Installation
Auto Search
Start Frequency: 2900
End Frequency: 4030
Symbol Rate: 6887 (If not available, type it in manually)
Constellation: 64 QAM
Search by Network: On
Search
When all available channels are found select the ?View? button.
Goto a premium channel and wait for the box to unscramble.
?Be patient, it may take a few minutes.
Finally, check & confirm your settings:
Menu
User Installation
Parental lock
Current password 0000
Parental lock ?off
Install lock ----off
New password 7777
Confirm password 7777
Goto Key Manager
Current Key?.OK
Auto Update on
Exit back to the main menu.

I just remembered what caused that issue on the one box for me.
I had forgotten to untic the "Maintain User Data" box before performing the flash. Even so when I powered up again & scanned it found them all.

Yes that is the correct USB Adapter but you will still need the NULL Modem cable to connect between the adapter & box.
And yes again, that's exactly what the new firmware does ;-)

Is the quality issue a recent one or has it been like that for some time?
Basically there are a few things which may contribute to this.
Provider Signal Strength in your area
Ongoing work by your provider in your area
Cable quality & connections
The use of splitters & or amplifiers
Interference from an array of other influences
Have you tried connecting your cable directly to the TV (Nothing in between) & see what the quality is like then?

sorry about the time delay i am also having probs with my broad band... another days work.
the last set of codes were perfect. this one is just a bit odd. this did happen a while ago but when i put in the next set of codes it righted itself. iam going to try and re do the same codes and see if it makes a difference.
thanks for listening to my ignorance

Just like to say thanks to all the guys who added to this thread, and sorted this problem.
I have followed all the tips/Links and flashed my Replay, all looks good and stable now.
I just have one question, where would I find an update instruction manual for a Replay Lite?
Sorry for such a lame question after the last few weeks events :-)
Thanks again

I know you have flashed your box but are you looking for the instructions on how to flash?
