As smoggy directed you, it is the easiest box I have ever flashed and also one of the best by a long way for what it is.

what does this firmware give you?

[satsmo]

All channels that are carried by your provider, if you are in the UK. In Ireland it will open up to Nagra 2 as per some other closed source boxes.

still a bit unsure is it the same way to flash as the ex1100?

[satsmo]

As per the readme:

EX6000SD 1st Public release

There are 3 ways to load this firmware:

1) Easiest is to rename the .stb file to KURO2 and put it on the root of a USB drive/stick, the box will detect the firmware and update automatically.

2) Put in the root of a USB device and insert into box, on power up the box will detect the drive, press Menu, then from UTILS "Download", enter the PIN (0000), select the file and Press OK to load..

3) Use the RS232 loader with the box connected to a PC with a null-modem cable.

NOTE:
Do a factory reset and then scan for channels.

I used the first method and it took about 10 seconds to flash.

sorry for sounding stupid but whats the difference between method 1&2 if you put it on the pen it will do method 1 anyway wont it.

[satsmo]

Method one will autoflash, (detect bin at boot), method 2 you manually select the flash file.

Both methods result in the same thing....... a flashed box One which is quite good as said.

satsmo i am having problems with the fav groups can u help when in any fav group i.e sports i go down to sly sports3 press ok its small in right hand corner but when i press ok again for full screen it wont come on it goes back to previous channel

[satsmo]

Using favs, I press FAV or OK on RC and select with < or > button on RC. Then after selecting the required group select the channel you want and press OK.

Sounds like you are doing it the same way so should be working?

[antsumner]

not working for me when in fav sports pressing channel up it skips aswell it will go channel 1 2 4 5 then back to 1 when there r 17 channels in that fav group?
