I'm a complete green horn when it comes to this sort of thing so i'd appreciate all the patience, and clear and detailed advice you guys can give me.
I recently purchased the Digivox-T box to use for C**rus signal in the Clonmel area. I did have the Starview 3 but couldn't get it working. Our C**rus box has "ITD" written on the underside of it. This means that we are in an MMDS area, correct? I'm asking becuase we don't have a dish on the roof, we have a good solid co-axial cable coming in through the wall from the street. but i've been informed that Clonmel is still MMDS area, so swapped the Starview for the Digivox-T. I guess my first query is 1) Can anyone confirm that i have the right box for Clonmel?
2nd point is that when i hooked the Digivox-T up and did a scan i got no channels. So i decided to hook it up to the PC with the RS232 cable and this is where is a grey area for me. (I'm only familar with the Starview boxes, so i've never had to update firmware)
I downloaded the bin file through downloader 10 to my box, but there were 2 bin files, identically named, identical sizes, so i only installed the first one, shut everything down, and went to hook the box up to the telly. Now when i turn the box back on, i get a "CHDL" message. Having read up a bit on this i've found out that it means the flash wasn't completed correctly.
I've read the threads here advising to turn the box off, start the download again, and then flick it back on, that this should fix it, but while this gets it to start the download, every time it gets to the end of it, it tells me the flash failed. It also doesn't count from 1-100 like it did the original time, it says FL._c
2) Can anyone please link me to the most up to date and correct bin files i need to correctly prepare my Digivox-T please, just so that i know the flash isn't failing becuase i'm trying a corrupted file.
Beyond that i would appreciate any adivce anyone else has, as i am at my wits end now, this being teh 2nd box i've tried.
Is flashing the box the equivalent of entering teh codes every time they roll, as used to be the case the odd time with the STarview box, or is it a seperate thing i'm doing to the box? Do i have to enter codes seperately each time the change via the RS232 cable?
If someone could actually explain what it is i'm actually doing to the box atm, i'd be grateful, as all i'm doing is going through a step by step A4 sheet i printed off, with no real idea of what it does.
Oh and if anyone has advice but doesn't want to give it on a public forum for obvious reasons, a private message would be fine.
