Do they have AC3 with CCcam?

Hi,

Is there anyway on flashing new firmware onto this box apart from using the USB, as box I have got here just hangs on the LCD saying 'on'?

Thanks
Calisto

there is a serial loader for it attached, you will need a null modem cable, connect it to your pc, start the software and choose the firmware file, as soon as you press next (for it to start looking for the box) turn the receiver on and it should sync and upload the firmware

With regards the lack of sound on the HD channels.

Did I hear somewhere that some people were able to get sound by configuring their set up so that the sound didn't come through the HD cable but elsewhere ? If so may I enquire as to how, so I can have a go at doing it myself.

Hi peeps i was wondering is there a way of making the EPG work better? also is there a way of telling which version of ccam in on the stb. Would it matter if the server you go with has a newer ccam version like 2.1.4 & what if the box has 2.1.3 or older.

Sorry for being such a noob

Latest firmware on here comes with CCcam 2.1.3 and it connects fine to a server running 2.1.4

As for the EPG I think we will have to wait and see what the dev's will do with it.
