    Does it recognise the USB stick at all, or is the "upgrade by USB" option still greyed out?

    Try inputting by remote the code 6666 this should high light the grey and allow you access.

    Some time you may need to format USB with fat32 to recognise.

    Sometimes you need to turn the box off and on whilst the USB is plugged in for it to work

    Does the USB stick show up OK in your pc or laptop?

    If it does, you could try reformatting it again to FAT32.
