If the box is new you will have to use the null modem cable first, after that then you can use the remote for all furter updates, follow below for future updates per remote.
menu ...... installation ....... 0000 ....... S/W Update. follow on screen advice after it is finished your box will reboot.
Best then to do a factory default and do a new scan, always do this after new updates i do it that way and dont have any problems.
its simple, only once do you use pc to flash box,
then menu>.0000.>installation>s/wupdate>and scan
after that go to ss1 and plug your ethernet in,give it a few seconds and it will come on
m8,
if you have "sw update" option on your box, it is already flashed...
what problems do you have?
m8 you do a sw update online on these boxes after initial flashing...Hi Getting my channels!
My KV Box has under Menu>> Data download>> S/W Transfer/Send and Channel Data Transfer then Send.
Is that what you mean but it doesnt say anywhere "sw update" have just checked everything in the menu.
But it is the latest model I think KV A780 if thats any help
If it is a 780, have you managed to find the ethernet port yet ?
For a brand new box, you will still need to use the serial update method as they initially come with fta software and nothing to do the cardsharing etc. You must load the 'hacked' firmware onto the box to give it cardshare capability and other features.
It only has one port that connects to my computer which is the one that screws in to the back of the box and into the back of my computer I dont know if it is called a null modem cable or not but its the only port in the back of my box apart from 2 scat leads for th TV and Video
ffs m8,
is your box working or not?
My box is working its a brand new box but only getting a few channels the same amount of channels that I had before I got the box
Unless you flash the box with the 'hacked' firmware (using serial cable which is usually provided) and plug the ethernet cable into your router then you wont get anything else !
No, if its a 780 box then it has an ethernet port. It may be underneath a sticker on a brand new box. Check the back and look for the ethernet port again !
The ethernet cable should connect, using a standard Cat5/6 ethernet cable, to your router device (not the PC). Its this cable that allows your box to function in cardshare mode which is a necessity for UK cable presently.
right, have you
factory reset and scanned?
