Have i just spent a load of money on a fta box or have I done something wrong???
can someone point me in the right direction of the correct firmware please

thanks for the reply, i used the firmware on this site dated july 2012.
used the box to download s/w update and tried scanning with the ethernet cable pulled out, now the box wont let me out off the installation menu, tried pulling plug and pressing exit.
any ideas, rescan, reflash.

rescan took care of that..

Many Thanks for your patience and advice.
Have software pv4.1.05 installed now, done a scan.
Problem now is the box is freezing or showing scrambled channel, it will work for like 30secs then go off, any ideas.

hi benjy dont forget to do a factory reset each time you upload an image and before scanning for channels etc.
