Had the receiver a couple of years now- it got the dreaded NOCH problem shortly after it was new, but it was fixed quickly and has worked flawlessly ever since. I've kept manually updating the transponder lists and re-scanning every couple of months to keep everythign up to date.
However, at weekend I hit a problem where the channels would scan but not update- did a factory reset and that has reset the transponder list to the default one which is now almost 3 years old. Looking at what is missing, it would take me ages to get it back to the state it was in before.
So I tried the STB Editor Manhattan has on it's website for this receiver. I remember briefly playing with it when I first got the box, but because if it's limitations, never bothered with it again, but I thought it would be ok for updating the transponder lists.
Installed it just fine, connected with null modem cable, downloaded the .img file just fine (STB>FILE) then tried to open that in the editor, It goes through 4 checks prior to opening, the first three run through just fine, but after holding on the 4th one, I get an error message 'APPLICATION HALT' and the STB editor disappears.
I started the STB Editor again and just to test to see if it was a problem with the connection, I fired the .img file I'd just downloaded back into the box-and that went perfectly.
So, the problem seems to be with the software itself - I've mailed Manhattan and they've mailed me back saying 'It's not a known issue' and given me some tips (which, to be fair, I'd already done).
Anyone else encountered this? I'm running on XP, and assume that isn't causing it any problems (The software is dated 2002).
I've done some digging and it seems the STB Editor is from a company called Eaglesoft - I noticed on another site that there was a V2.0 of the software listed (it's v1.3 on the Manhattan site), but I can't get into Eaglesoft's website to download it-anyone know anywhere I could get this from off the net?
Any thoughts tyou have-please share 'em!!
