This is a small guide to get your spiderbox working.
it might not be complete,and if theres anything that you feel needs,
to be added or is missleading please make a post here ... in general discussion.

theres 3 keys you might find handy in future so write them down on a piece of paper or save it somewhere else, but we are coming to that.

1.on the backside of your stb under the power switch, and in some cases also on carton wich it arrived in, you find the ser nr it starts with an I or 1. ´write it down on paper.´

2.if you use a motor and not a fixed dish.go to your nearest referance sat,before you dissconect your old stb,
this is probably not needed if you use usals,cause then you insert your lat\longitud. but to be on the safe side.
thats is what i did.

3.connect your new Spiderbox with cables such as scart-hdmi+ypbpr lnb and networkcable etc:

4.Start it up, then press menu and go to option\controlpanel press Ok do your settings such as hd type-video output etc: press Exit when done, and stb autosaves.
while in option choose your osd setup and time setting.

5.press Left arrow on remote to installation.
Pin code is 0000
do your preferd settings such as motor\diseqc switch etc:
in motor settings press Green button on remote to set your long\latitud,
dont forgett to pess Ok on save.
now you can search for sats.... if you not use a channellist offcourse.

6.press Right arrow on remote to Accessory
go to network and press 1111
to get hidden menu... (IF THE HIDDEN MENU IS NOT SHOWN) then you first have to (LOAD A PATCH WITH GIFT) on it.
look belov how to load new patch after,,,,,(Finished. )
in network press Right arrow on remote Type to On.
do your ip setup (in most cases auto is ok) ´write down your mac address´
on same paper as ser nr and press Exit.
go down to nuevoxstream press Ok then Type to On.
go down to Authorization press Ok.
´write down key´ on same paper as ser nr and mac address and save it somewhere safe. this is the 3 keys you might find usefull in future.
now go down to register and press Ok.

Finished.

now you can put in your new patches\softcamfiles\channellists.

download extract, to a fat32 formatted usb stick.

conect usb stick to spiderbox usb and in menu go to usb and find the extracted file press Ok on it.

WHEN UPDATE TO NEW PATCH CHOOSE S\W UPDATE ONLY (if you choose S\w+all data your settings dissapear)

when in use of softcamfile, set both ucas to on in key edit.

when in use of a cam and card on same providers as gift,, to avoid conflicts turn gift off..



Now welcome as a proud owner to a Spiderbox

Thanks to chris k
 
Some people have found some problems when updating the Sw. The best option is to download them all and add them one at a time in date order to the box this seems to clear up any off the conflicts. Hope this helps.
 
I loaded the 20 dec patch, then straight onto 20 apr patch.
Worked a treat.

Only ever update software once gift is activated. If you select sw and data gift will be lost.
 
cheers manic, managed to get spidy going with gift.
now trying to use cline by installing via server.cfg, was working but now gone off?! is there a way of finding out what version cccam i'm using?

the spiderbox with latest patch installed is optimized for cccam ver 2.1.2
 
cheers for the help guys.

installed patch 20/12 and 20/4,
pressing info (twice) tells me source is cccam 2.1.3 on my cline, but seem to get disconnected every so often?!

how do i go about creating/copying channellists...do i use "ChMan_st_alsa_20091130.exe" ?

using a server that is cccam v 2.1.3 will get glitches and disconnect every so often as i said spiderbox optimized for v 2.1.2 the spiderbox team are working on this issue until new patch out for that im afraid grin and bare it
 
thinking of getting 1 of these but just need few questions answering if possible please guys..

1. do they come set up or do i have to write keys to a card like i used to?

2. will i get same kind of channels like i did with my n*l box if so what do i get and what dont i get?

3. what dish is best as i been reading about motorised ones and stationary ones?

4. will they go off like other boxes did and i have to wait for update?

5. are they wifi or do i use ethernet lead?

thanx in advance.....
 
Hi there can anyone help me I purchased Spiderbox 7000 HD connected RJ45 to network got the settings. Added 2 satellites and updated he box following the advice below. Somewhere down the line I think I have cocked up. My questions are:

Q1) Was I supposed to activate the box first before doing anything ?
Q2) How do i know if the box has been activated?
Q3) If somehow I have erased the gift patch who or how do I get it back?
Q4) Oh and there does not seem to be anything on the hidden menu


Help !!!!

Hi, can you please help. My handset has frozen and i have to use the receiver to change channels. I have tried another remote from another Spiderbox but all I get is the stb button flashing red.

You dont say what you were doing before it froze, however try switching the receiver OFF then On again using the rear panel mains switch.
 
in the guide right after,, go down to nuevoxstream press Ok then Type to On.
should be an adding that,,..(on newer boxes sold after aug 2010 only service+ is available,,turn it on and press register)

OK. Just bought a 7000 from Ebay. It has 10/10/2011 firmware on it, but text on the menus read 'darkmania v2'... Is this correct? I've Googled darkmania v2 and it was a patch released ages ago?!

Also - I remember reading about having to take your spiderbox through some mandatory updates (I.e to update to the latest version you had to ensure you did a few key version updates).. Am I ok to go straight from my current version to 032912k?

Thanks
