SG8.
I have followed your instructions above for the Eurovox, they have been v helpful. But I'm still getting the code been updated message.
I'm in Dublin and connected to NTL. I have updated the firmware successfully and follow your instructions to step 10 - wait to factory settings, I press ok and a full power scan begins at 6887 rate.
The scan completed in about 10 minutes. It starts slowly 1/770 2/770 etc up to about 200/770, it then starts to jump rather quickly through the rest and at the same time 13 frequencies are displayed below the TP:00
heading (only 13). When complete it moves to another screen and roles thru 1/13,2/13 etc and displays all the TV and radio stations that are apparently tuned in. When it completes the updating code screen appears, but I change to Sky Sports and as you say after a few minutes I get the channel tuned in and everything is great. But then after say 30 minutes I see the updating message or "Please enter SMART card" message and I then lose the feed and it does not come back. I tired the whole process again with similar outcome.
Have you any suggestions, am I missing a step or codes?
