Listen Guys,
Im so sorry there is a port hole it was covered with a black sticker it looked and felt so like the box I've looked at it over and over again and would never have seen it if you had not kept on at me. Im sorry I have wasted all this time
.....looked at it over and over again and would never have seen it if you had not kept on at me. .....
im from motherwell, bring your box down and i will do it for you..
Hopefully now I have found the long lost port with a bit of assistance I can manage but thanks anyway.
Now because it is a new box do I need to Flash it or update it or both and what is the difference between the flash and update?????????
and then where do I start!!!!!!!!!!!
For a brand new box, you will need to do the initial flash of the 'dodgy' firmware. Thats what the serial cable is (usually) supplied for.
For this operation only you will need to connect the serial lead from your PC to the KV. You do not want anything else (except for power) connected to the KV. You will need to download the firmware AND the KV loader program onto the PC. Then run the loader program to flash the box.
I'm sure there is a tutorial somewhere cos I cant remember the details, just that its a bit fiddly, which is ok cos you only do it once.
After thats done, then you will need o reset the KV and do a scan. You will need both the co-ax cable and the ethernet plugged in at this point. After that it should just all work !
... but note, you need a null modem cable.....
Very true, thats why most sellers supply them with the box I think.
do the major dealers supply them?
if it is a new box, then you will need to flash it.
flashig it, puts the pirate firmware on the box which allows you to view pay channesls via a server.
you only need to flash once.
once flashed updates are done online.
select.
instalation
code 0000
sw update.
if the sw option is on your box, then it has aleady been flashed.
after flashing you need to scan for channels using correct net id and provider.
yoour net id is uddingston
provider x telewest....
I dont think its been flashed as I could only see on the menu something saying under>> Data Download>> S/W Transfer/Send and Channel Data Transfer/Send. And not SW update. Are you sure my net id is uddingston as my provider is on the box says its Glasgow and NTL
Your right I can scan for all channels but they are scrambled, but too tired tonight to start anything now. Can you tell me how to flash and which cable to use I have a Null modem cable and a Cat.5E Network cable.If you only have four options in the instalation menu the box needs flashing on computer.
You should still be able to scan for all channels but they will be scrambled.
