Hi Guys,bought a new box,the max v and have tried to install new software but as soon as it goes through the initial set up it gets to about 30 seconds and i get an err message.
Also i can scan the box no probs but as soon as i go to watch a scrambled channel it asks me to insert smart card!!
Any ideas

Smart card message appears when ther box cant figure out whats going on, ie firmware cant decode the channel - the fact the firmware upgrade starts THEN errors out is puzzling - bad cable connection or pc comm port throwing a wobbly?

try re flash mate are you sure you got correct firmware mate

Im using the right firmware but it will not finish the download of the software. The people who supplied the box are not being very helpful and i fear its a clone of the Max v. Are there any updates for a Max v clone

A search of another forum has quite a few people who have purchased the same Max v from the same supplier in Liverpool who are all getting this "err" message.

i had a clone today from a m8 and had problems trying to flash the f/w so after some messing around i flashed my cdf first then the f/w and hey presto it worked. Dont know if it was just coincidence but give it a try....

Hi Mate,
When you say you flashed your "CDF" Wwhat is that exactly & what do i need to do? Suppose its worth a try.

Thanks in Advance!

A CDF is a channel definition file and for this test purpose it doesnt even have to be from your area as its only to see if the firmware will flash afterwards. I cant find any CDFs on here so if you struggle PM me email addy and i'll send you 1.
