I clicked the file...

The first post of this thread has a link for the PVR800 editor, & a link for firmware. That's why I asked which file you were trying to open.

As mtv1 says, the firmware file isn't associated with any windows programs. It is for use with the editor.

I have connected to the box with an old laptop and downloaded the firmware again, gone through all the steps just after i turn the box back on after 7 to 10 seconds im getting another message saying.. set stb memory error click back and try again, any ideas.. Forget that i tried a few more times and got connected, many thanks

What files did you use? What was the process used to get box to start firmware update? I keep getting stb memory error

Like Slugworth said to one of my earlier posts i went back to the first page of this thread and downloaded the firmware from the link, and tried it a few times it was connecting but i was still getting the stb memory error so changed the parity from odd,mark,even and space it might not have been that but it was worth a go.
