Red Box with latest firmware - Techwatch Support Forums: Digital & Satellite TV, FTA, Cable, Computers, Mobile Phones, Apple and General Tech Forums

Hi all.

I am having a problem with a red box that I have flashed with the latest firmware (UFL_Max_RED_21_04_08). The problem is the box still says code
updating even after 2 hours. I have successfully updated a blue clone and a black box without any problems (using the required firmware for each box).

I am on Ch**us and the readme file for the reb box firmware clearly states that it has Ch**us support.

Can anybody suggest what might be wrong? I'm starting the think this red box may be defective.

Thanks.

Unplug it and then plug it back in. Press menu, type 1968 TWICE and set default key on Ch**us if you have the Ch**us fix it will say it on the CAS menu. Exit to Sly Sports 1 and let it update.

Thanks for the reply.

Ch**us is not listed. So I guess this means that UFL_Max_RED_21_04_08 does not have Ch**us support?

Have you tried the default key?

pobber1 · 23-05-08, 05:55 PM

Sorry satsmo you'll have to forgive my ignorance, what do you mean by the default code?

satsmo · 23-05-08, 05:56 PM

As per my second post.

Chorus is not listed on the menu it has the default set to N*l. On the blue clone that I updated successfully Ch**us is not listed either however the default code at the top of the CTS menu has a blank where the provider name should be i.e. Ch**us and then it lists the codes. The red firmware does not seem to do this.

As per satsmo's post - default key is to press the yellow button on screen that says CAS menu

Don't worry bout what is or isn't listed

This is what I'm doing:

1968 twice. This list providers, then press yellow button,
"wait for saving default key data" pops up on the screen,
there is nothing about Ch**us.

Thanks for the help.
