Spiderbox 7000hd Problem opening secret menu after 15 Nov 11 Patch

[ricardo609]

Hi Everyone,

I don't know if anyone else has this issue, but i have loaded the latest patch 15 Nov 11 but when I go to open the secret menu (1111) it will not open to allow me to turn the ethernet back on. My last patch is dated 10 October. I have a 7000 HD.
Also just as a quickie, is anyone having trouble with Conax channels on Thor....all mine show scrambled for the last 2 days??...I know that Q2 is probably another thread but thought it may be related to my original post?
Anyone please?
Thanks.

Thanks to dickb
Connect box up to dish/tv/broadband.
Back up channel list etc first.
(1) do factory reset
(2)load patch I"m sending Software only
(3) factory reset again
(4)menu>network press 1111 on h/set,turn network and ethernet on and register
(5)load a channel list or scan
(6)enter your long/lat and display timeouts etc
(7)go to key edit turn ucas & ucas auto roll on
(8)re-set key data and load softcam I"m sending.



If you cant turn ethernet on then 1 w wont clear.

I have added them all here for you


as for thor channels , some have been down while cards are being updated , so check them again daily until they are fixed

Sorry to be an ignoramus but I can't see the patch or softcam here anywhere....I must either need glasses or be totally blind...PLEASE assist...thanks again

Just found it...thanks again for all your help!

Ok...I have loaded the patch (15/11/11) as per your instructions above which my S/B accepts and is showing in the system info but still when I go to network and hit 1111 nothing happens and still NO ethernet drop down appears?
Anyone please?
I read about another guy who had the same happen to him but i never got to hear what happened. My old patch dated 10/10/11 is still functional but I have read it is ALWAYS best to apply the new patch....This is mightily frustrating given that most people seem to have been able to load/open and use the newer patch. If anyone can shed some light on this I would welcome their view. Thanks again

do not go into network , just highlight network in orange and then press number 1 four times , 1111 , and then keyedit will appear just above network

once keyedit appears you have activated the patch , it really is that simple

its also worth checking system info and making sure it says 15 nov 2011 in the date , so you know the patch is in there , and you should always factory reset the box both before , and afterwards , through the menu

[ricardo609]

Thats exactly what I did!...I didn't enter network but just sat on it and pressed the 1111 but the key edit drop down did not appear as it does when i do the same with the 10/10/11 patch loaded...thats what is the real mystery for me??
I apologise for not making myself clear about this earlier.

menu>scroll across to USB typing 1111 should toggle secret menu on/off(key edit should show/no show)ethernet dropdown should show on network>ok anyway but dont forget if your box is over 12mths old "gift"channels will not open anyway.

have you factory reset after loading patch?
Can you reload older patch and all is ok?

[ricardo609]

Yes...I have had to re-load the old patch 10/10/11 and everything opens up just fine again??
Box was bought NEW in September 2011 and gift was loaded when dish etc was installed...everything has worked just fine up til now except this New patch??
I think the old addageof...don't try to fix it if its not working/broken is apparent here....
