Brand new box problem

[digidude]

when you say the box goes off does it die completely or reset itself. it sounds like it may possibly be a faulty capacitor in the power supply

The box goes onto standby

i'll find out what cap needs changing for you. how are you with a soldering iron?

i know im a newbie to this forum but, by connecting it to a 1M dish you are also picking up extra 'noise'. connect the box to a friends normal minidish and try the update, also try keeping the box somewhere cool (we used to find that you could get further from a customers house first thing in the morning when boxes in the van were cold before they packed in) for a few hours before trying

hope it helps digidude

I took the box to by brothers house and tried it there within 10mins i had the lastest software averything is working ok now

I like to thank averyone who help me solve this problem ;)

There is a procedure posted in the Fringe and tech section for forced update http://www.satellites.co.uk/php-bin/forum/showthread.php?t=9750, it is the same on all boxes, you can find all of the information regarding channels at http://www.lyngsat.com/28east.shtml
