Yes. Go to the S/W Update option and press ok. If you have your ethernet conected it should either update or state Already Updated.

Have you got your ethernet connected to the box and your router?

If you have, with them all switched on start with the modem and reboot it, then the router, then the box and leave on Sky Sports 1 for a short while. Make sure they have full booted before doing the next one.

One last question, did you scan the correct area?

[Blurry_121]

yes my area is birmingham and will try that reboot now thanks for gettin back to me

[Blurry_121]

You appear to be rushing.

When you leave the box on SS 1 it may take a while for it to find and log on to the server. Had one last night that took over five minutes.

Once its managed to log on it will only take a few seconds next time.

Not suure about the Birmingham options as I'm up Manchester but the light on the lan port should flash. If your getting BBC 1, 2 and ITV in that order at the top of the entertainment catagory you have probably scanned correctly.
