Hi all,

I updated The Box PVR with the latest firmware (ver 3105_08Dec2008). I then tried a channel upload from the one saved on the internal HDD. This didn't work and when the box rebooted it just defaulted back to the installation menu for a new box.
I bit the bullet and did a manual rescan. All the channels came through but almost all are blocked apart from the unscrambled ones. I tried going into the hidden menu at the parental password screen (i 2007) and that isn't working anymore.

Can anyone please help? Have I got the wrong firmware, am I doing something simply wrong as it's been a long time since I had to anything with this Box.

Yep ... you want the 081208 fix - you are using old firmware
