in regards to the instructions on page 1 about backing up your channels, this may sound daft once you have connected your box to your pc. how do you run the loader util?

Can anyone tell me where I can buy RS232 null modem cable in Dublin in order to flash my box?

You might be looking for a while, I tried alot of stores, the staff looked at me like I was mad!! they hadent a clue, I got mine on fleabay. but if you are using a laptop you will need a usb 2.0 rs232 serial 9 pin male adapter.

take your time and read every step before attempting.

1st use google search.
2nd try tying "bigmaq toolbar".
3rd download + install.
click on the keyicon on toolbar.
select your area and ex cable provide eg telepest/nt/cable.
write down these numbers.
??????????????
??????????????
these only work in your area hence why have to have your area codes.

next.
go to your box.
press...menu>langu.
type in 19681968.
you now have a screen with names of cable providers.
read the 4 digits numbers in the colum marked provider.
write them down????????.

next.
exit back to black screen (if in doubt pull the power lead and plug it back in).

now here this.

menu>yellow>enter in the four figures for your provider id you wrote down.

enter the two lines of codes for you actual area.
press ok
press ok
press blue
press exit.

this is very easy, i just done it and everything back to work, if anybody need help please ask me.

i got the codes for essex,if anyody need it.

thanks

Inputting the keys manually is only a temporary fix ie. each time the keys change you'll have to do it over.

To sort your box out permanently you'll need to connect it to you computer and update the firmware on it. But be sure it's not a clone first and before you asked - there are a lot of threads on this section on how to identify one, so have a wee look around
