hi has anybody come accross this message" this is an illegal box " on their tv screen in the dublin n*l area. this message appeared a few times last week on my sv4 usb and now it has stopped working. i have no digital display. power is going to the box as i can see a red light at the back of the unit. the box is only 2 weeks old. any ideas would be appreciated. thanks
do you mean invalide box. if it is from what iv read on this forums in the past it sounds like your box was a clone sorry to tell you
its a clone box and has bricked due to the firmware killing it off, Read here and go to the thread, SV clones http://forums.afterdawn.com/t.cfm/f-59/only_boxs_working_in_ireland_hints_and_tips-updated-782583/ Contact your supplier for a refund if ya can get one
Very strange that these boxes are bricking not at the time of flashing but at a later time. Any ideas what's the story there? Ordered 3 SV4s from S@tandC@ble last week as it was the cheapest I found. Now I know why! I tried cancelling the order but haven't had a word now in a week.
Yes, it does. Any ideas why? Does it depend on the amount of bootups since the flash? How does a bit of code corrupt the bootloader over time?
Contact them and they shal replace, I've never heard of them selling clones before The Digivox xl usb is a safer bet with the amount of SV4 clones around
either have I, open the box and show me a pic of the inside, how long have you got the box if I may ask?
same thing happened to me there a while ago .. mine was not a clone but one of the older batchs .. for whatever reason it fecks up the box with the usuall "lights on but no one home" !! i hear you can jtag it but to be honest i rather get a new one of them before going through that hassel but you know there gonna say "did you upload software to that box " they have ye by the goolies or what ever you have
yep, the first lot of SV4 are also effected, scouser had a great post on it, I know for one SKY w dont sell clones never have, cause if they have, there would be a lot more than one person saying it, been dealing with them for years and never had one hassle,
