Hello sorry if this has been asked..i have a ex51oo and would like to manually input info.
Going into the menu and using the 1968 method don't work??

Any ideas thanks ahead of time.

Hi and welcome to TechWatch

there are two ways
menu/OK/1968 1968 (1968 has to be entered twice)
or menu/yellow button (this is for max v the colour button may be different on your box)
if neither of these methods work then it looks like you have the free to air firmware on your box and it will need flashing

Im guessing that your receiver has been dead since December? Try flashing with the latest firmware
