Learning curve.
I think this is one for either sc0user or fergusb(if he wishes)
Hi pippincp,
What does its "Box-T MMDS " mean ? How do i know this ? Does this mean it would need a different .bin file loaded ? Excuse the ignorance !!

It means the box doesn't actually use a cable feed but the aerial on the roof.
I think.
Check with your mate.
@Dboxhead. Some confusion here The Box-T did not refer to yo9ur problem.
had to go back through the thread to check.
However to get back to your problem.
We know you have the correct firmware installed so it has to be the signal in. Are you sure your feed is live? You can test this by putting the cable feed directly into your TV and see if you are getting the basic channels.
Do you have any splitters on your feed?
Have you tried connecting at the point of entry (ie the box on the wall where your line comes in)?

Hi pippincp thanks for the reply but I have the right com port but the firmware wont load for some reason. (nightmare)
Has anyone else downloaded for the box-t loader/firmware from Eamos library. I have downloaded previous firmwre with no problems what so ever, I am afraid it might be the box but it was working before on the old firmware. I have deleted the loader and firmware and downloaded them again with the same result...bad flash.
Please help this thing is killing me.

Pipincp and Malci and anyone else that helped....thanks for all your help. I plugged the box into the main cable feed into the house and that did the trick !! Although I was a bit apprehensive as once it found the channels it took about 5 mins to update...it was stuck on 0% for about 4.5 of those mins..but its working..big learning curve..but next time it goes I will know what I am doing :-)
Thanks again !!
Elaine.

Hi there,
Before you people tell me to search the forum I have searched the forum and tried all the suggestions and none worked. Maybe I am missing something! So heres the story ----->
I have "The Box" or some call it "Starview 2". The problem Im having is that the only channel I have is R*E 2 and any other stations give me "data is being updated 0%" and it goes no further. Im on N*L Dub.
I have installed the latest firmware Ver 4.57e_E and have still the same issue. I have tried downgrading to an earlier firmware 455 an still the same before an after bringing it up to Ver 4.57e_E
I have done a factory reset. Powered the box of and on done a channel scan found all stations then went some of the suggested channels and turned the Emu on from the secret menu 1570 and still no progress. "data is being updated 0%" and stays there. I have also tried "set the default key" on suggested channels and no joy either.
The box is working perfect on the FTA channel so its something small Im sure.
Can anyone tell me what I might be doing wrong.!!
Any help appreciated and thanks in advance.

OK I need more info from you before I can help.
Are you using the main feed when you scan and try to update or is your signal going through a splitter?
How many channels does the scan pick up?

Hi ogg
Yes it has to be something simple. No doubt sc0ser can be of more help but silly as it sounds select the God Channel as it's a strong signal and it may update from there.
Don't forget it took Elaine 5 mins for the update to happen.
I'm off out now for a couple of hours hope you get sorted.

Where's the recent bitching?
I see that you are trying to drag up the "difference" of opinion between DesB, Mallci and myself.
What you have to realise is that each of us has a different approach to a problem. Bottom line "The person with the problem was sorted" and that's all that maters.

Tried the update from Sky 2 for around 15 mins and nothing happened. Do I need the cable to connect it to the PC? Have the codes been changed and if so how do I get them. Thanks a lot

have The Box Super. We've never had the cable to connect to the computer, we've only been working with codes that we got from the internet. R*E 1 and S*tanta Ir*land are still working but it doesnt look like we've got much else

OK codes are NOT available from this site as it's caused too many problems in the past.
The Box Super is the S******w 3. You do need a cable to sort it out via your PC. Once you have one you will realise how shortsighted you've been in not getting one before.
Don't worry though There are ppl here to guide you through!
