kryptview - ilford (software not updating via box/remote) on 24/04/11 (not findng new

[wakkaday]

hi there
i am trying to update my friends kryptview box. its current firmware is 24/4/11 and i need to upgrade to the new one

when i do it via the box, it doesn't seem to find anything...

i also want to bring up the tp list for the area, but that's not coming up either..so i can make sure i've selected the right area to do the scan? how can i do that

i've tried doing a factory reset and nothing happens

ilford is ex-cw right? and i select network....

what are options of upgrading to this new november firmware?

Unless you have the problem that the new patch fixes then there is no need to update. There are no new features and the patch appears to be absolutely nothing to do with new servers or glitching !

Possibly your box is either not connected to the internet or its not configured properly

You set the area to the same NetId value as used in your subbed box. If you haven't got a subbed box then you find a close neighbour or friend that has and ask them. Other than that its a bit hit and miss.

i've tried doing a factory reset and nothing happens

If the box has no data then doing a reset will apparently do nothing. Erasing nothing gives you......nothing !

it is a subbed box, it was working a month ago.....so the software is there.. its just finding the net id list of the different towns and cities...i can't seem to bring that up...

thanks for your help

I had this prob with a mates a while back I thought he was same as me `Vermin ` network but it turned out he was NTL,so do a factory reset then select a different `network`(think there are 4 to choose from the drop down) before pressing the green button on the remote to see if the net ID`s come up.

afaik, VirginMedia does not give kryptview boxes to subscription customers so I doubt that it is actually a subbed box.

Your best bet is still to find the proper NetId from a real VM subbed box. One of the pre-requisites of using a kv box is to know (or have a pretty good idea) of your NetId region as its this setting that tells the box on which frequency map to look for channels. Get the wrong one and he box will look in the wrong place.

If you know you've got the proper area and your still not finding anything then thats an indication that you have a problem, either with the cable feed or the box itself.

Do you know the cable feed is still active ?

If you dont subscribe to any vm services then they do tend to disconnect the cable.
