First of all make sure you have the latest firmware on the box. Should be 4.57
You check this from the menu - System setup/System information
If you haven’t got 4.57 you can download it from the sticky threads.(4.57 & loader)
Once you have flashed the new firmware go into the menu and do a factory reset.
If you are having problems flashing the box you may have to turn the box on and then press download straight away.or visa versa. Cable should be Null Modem 9 pin female to female
If flahed ok . Rescan the box choosing your local cable provider.(N*L etc) Choose english-autoscan
Once the channels have saved, exit out 3 times.
Press menu and then 1570 you will go into another secret menu.
Highlight the default key and press ok.
Then scroll down to the emu and turn it on.
Exit out and put your box onto a S*y sp1
Wait for it to update. This may take a while.
You should be now all up and running
