A780 set up

[jaysbee666]

:giveup:
Hi guys, seem to be having problems setting up my A780 box and any help would be appreciated. This is my set up so far

1. cable from modem to router ethernet port
2. router port to PC
3. cable from box to router port.

went through routine of setting up the router with the modem and all works well, all ports on the router are working, and all cables are fine as ive swapped them about a few times and they are ok.

where i think the problem may be is from the box to the router, am i using the correct cable, is there a special one other than the rs232/ethernet i got from work just the other day, the only reason i can think it might be this is from flashing any box you would use a null modem cable and not an rs232 one.

also the rs232 port on the box is working fine as iv'e already used this when flashing new software onto the box.

Thanks for looking at my post...jaysbee666

with the 780 as far as i know its just a lan cable the same as pc the one to use,as the null modem is only for flashing it.

:proud: Hi cactikid, good to see you're still on the boards.:proud:

Yes cable from the box is rs232 connection and ethernet into router, i may possibly have what looks like the correct cable but may differ slightly wire wise, similar as the null modem/rs232 cable, both look alike, but differ in wiring. Thats what im thinking at this moment.....jay

hi Jay other than ethernet cable don't forget you need a cable from vm feed as well to give you channels.

it will be the same idea as flashing the 750 but you use the 780 files instead.

First make sure you have the righ firmware like i mention below then go to the menu installation factory default turn the box off at the back then for 1 min then back on again, after this select the auto scan bottom option, then ONLY change the TOP item PROVIDER ONLY from next screen, leave the rest alone and press the green button on the remote, next screen you will get a list of net id's choose the one closest to your area and press ok, LEAVE the box to scan when finished it will tell you to press exit do that.

Third now connect up your ethernet to your box and away ya go, make sure you have your incoming cable going direct to the RF in on the box. First make sure you have firmware 18/05/2010 or 18-06-2010, im sure its in the downloads on here i put the 18-6 2010 on mine and lost my sound so put 18-05-2010 on and now all chanels up and runing.a bloke called brain wave helped me out with mine.hope this helps.i was getting the 8 chanel thing like you.
