you will have to flash your box with 7.09e or 8.00e software as 7.08e is FTA only, ..jay

hi, folks,
just flashed my 2nd box.bingo!!! however it took awhile to sort out.
used my unused null modem cable first(from maplins) tried several times but no joy. as last resort i tried the cable that came with the box,they look alike, and hey presto, up and running
one last point,my 1st box needs rescanning now and again .no prob for me but the mrs gets miffed.its a 6.00v. can i flash it with 8.0 and if so ,will this help the rebooting problem, cheers all.
