    Proving you follow this you should have no problems take your time print it out if it will help.

    1. Plug in the box and connect the cables
    2.Format a usb stick in pc to fat32
    3.Copy the firmware onto the stick via the PC.
    4 Switch your box off completely and insert the usb in the rear socket.
    5.Switch on the box wait for it to boot up.
    6.Press menu and scroll to usb press ok
    7.The firmware should start to transfer from the usb to the box.
    8.Once this has done hit menu and key in 1570 with the remote.
    this will bring up the secret menu hi light keycode and change it to on.
    9.You should now be set to scan go into menu and select installation,choose automatic scan press ok then choose your provider hit ok again.
    You should now get all channels your after.
    If by any chance you dont get the channels try a different provider.

            Dessertdog, you seem to be of great help on this site.

            I am struggling to update the firmware, I've downloaded the BIN file onto my USB stick and now I have two empty folders on the SV box (CH Data Backup and Code Backup).

            What have I done wrong?

                Check your usb stick in your pc and make sure the bin file is on the stick.

                  thanks almost working perfectly, but missing a couple of chanels ITV 1, Channel 4 and 5, visible but look scrambled, can get most premium chanels though,
                  apologies for being greedy any idea how I can get these basic channels back.
