[QUOTE="Pete6, post: 187325, member: 218976"] Well I left it on overnight (about 10 hours) and this morning, it it still displaying the UPDATING SYSTEM SOFTWARE message and the four LEDs are still lit up on the front panel. I think that this box is screwed. I believe that the downlink protocol is unable to be received (understood) by the box as there is plenty of signal (as proved by my working original box and by the Sugnal Strentgh indicator in the system menu. The fact that I see no Signal Quality or Lock (protocol recognised and locked - packets understood) means that this box will never work again until someone does something to it with a soldering iron. I will look into having this box repaired and report back but I think that the cheapest route will be to simply buy a replacement on eBay. What I do not understand is how this happened ! It is always dangerous to try and update software on a downlink only but millions of boxes have been upgraded in this manner so what went wrong with mine ? I think that I was just unlucky or maybe the signal was interuppeted at the wrong time for a spilit second although I cannot see how the latter could have happened. [/QUOTE]
