Hi everyone,

i followed bad apples instructions, please can someone help.
basically, i downloaded the latest firmware as instructed, changed the filename to flash.tbn

plugged usb pen into usb port, then turned on system with power switch at the back, it briefly says, open flash.tbn on the display, but there is no countdown, i then go into the channels and they are scrambled.

i do have a splitter, but i have tried it without the splitter and it is still the same.

yes correct symbol rate, it loads all the channels, bt test stations are working, but all others are scrambled, one question, i did not unzip the firmware, do i have to do that first ??

i just unzipped the file, and tried again, it is now writing on the display, so here's hoping it all works fine.
