THIS IS FOR THE LAN, (STB WITH ETHERNET PORT), BOX ONLY THIS FILE WILL KILL A NON LAN BOX YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED AS THEY ARE NOT COMPATIBLE.

Readme:

THIS IS FOR LAN 1214 BOX


DO NOT LOAD THIS FILE ON A NON LAN BOX OR IT WILL KILL YOUR BOX YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED !!!!!!

NON LAN BOX IS THE BOX THAT DOES NOT HAVE A RS232 CONNECTOR ON THE BACK OF THE UNIT THIS WAS THE FIRST BATCH OF 500 SOLD !!!!


Load grooverider file on to your usb memory stick,make sure power is off on machine and insert the memory stick into the front usb socket
underneath the front flap.


Turn the HD Combo on.

From the main menu go to Utility and then press the right arrow button and select usb
from the right hand side, you will see the grooverider file press ok on it and make sure to select SW+ALL DATA UPDATE..

the machine will update and restart (don't pull your memory stick out until the machine has fully started up)
you now need to scan your channels,
so go to installation press the right arrow button again and go down to AUTO CABLE SEARCH
all you need to change here is the symbol rate.
The symbol rate determines your area for example ntl is 6887, the other numbers are 6952 for telecast and EXc&w.
When you have selected your area go to start scan.

once the scan has finished go to menu then highlight accessory and on the remote press the numbers "8989"
you will then see "keyedit" appear on the right hand side, go to it and press ok and just check that auto update is on if its off just turn it on.

Then go to to your channels by exiting the menu and pressing ok..
Select a non FTA channel and leave it until a picture appears
PLEASE NOTE IT CAN TAKE UPTO 5 MINUTES TO UPDATE

Channel list..

all your channels are categorised by
pressing ok on your remote brings up the channel list but it will be in simple layout,
pressing the red button takes you to detail,
now if your list don't appear to be categorised you will need to press the SAT button on the remote and you need to select cable
at the bottom of the list this will then give you the categories,
to change each section you simply use your left or right arrow buttons




GOOD LUCK

Error 206 / MAC error

I have the same issue as above.

I flashed using the fix on this forum, it has not fixed anything!

The MAC address has gone to 00's and is not editable.

Can someone please point me in the correct direction?

Was it this link Digital Kaos - Downloads - LAN+ Combo CARLING-1.00_0529_error(206)fix.uad if so factory reset, flash with the 528 file and then flash the 529 flash after again.

Factory reset once more and follow the guide on page one. After that you will need to speak to your supplier if it is still not registering.

See highlighted part of a previous reply I gave on last page.

See highlighted part of a previous reply I gave on last page.

I have tried what satsmo is suggesting but once the 0529 1.2 firmware is on you cannot put the knightrider 0528 firmware its doesnt let you go back and do what your suggesting. My MAC was working perfect but since i flashed it with this new fw the mac changed and i cant even downgrade i hope starview sort this out it starting to get annoying i only want to watch a bit of tv in piece

[qaz786]

I have same issue - cannot install the first file!!!

Any suggestions ppl ?

Have contacted supplier - he has asked for the serial number - which I sent - will keep u all posted...

Hi guys. Having same problem. MAC changed to 0A:00:00:00:00:00 and there's no changing it back. Sure MAC could be changed manually on previous firmwares but can not roll back. Seems to be quite a few people in the same boat. Keep us posted if you make any progress.
