    look at the software version for your area its more than likely 3.7 (in a thread by Hidden Content ) and i would say your box hasnt updated so will be lower, something like 3.6 or even lower,

    if your box hasnt got a non update mod done to it and it wont allow a forced update then its the end for those boxes

    Hold the power button in and plug the power cable..
    Wait for ok to appear on the lcd then let go of the power button..
    should display 0000
    do 4321.. by pressing the following buttons on the box favs, interactive, tv guide, tv..then press ok button on the box.

    you might find a forced update wont work, the nit might be found but it will fail to download the new 3.7 software, phase 1b boxes seem ok but for some reason modded 4000 boxes stay on the old software, depending on the 4000, you will get OHEY or 0000 rather than "ok"
    this seems to relate to a DHCP address failure

    lets hope your ok

    please report back and stay if your talkback is cut or not

    thanks

    Re: Explorer Mosc card

    you can check in the Eng menu what the software version is but im sure you will find its on 3.6 and your area has gone to 3.7 and without the box updating itself your stuck im afraid

    pat and tune are shown when a box is updating, basically tring to find new software, once it has you get scrolling numbers which is the software being loaded into the flash, it then blows the flash in other word writes the new software to the flash, updating the box

    not as easy as it sounds, not only do you need to reflash the nvram but also the atmel, not worth it m8, not long before all boxes will be door stops

    Did you go into the menu to check ? 4200dvb should take the 3.7 update without any problems (unless you have tech problem with the box) or (bad signal) or (maybe nvram chip need's reflowing).
    3.7 wont kill your card unless your area has actualy rolled out nagra 3, so it may be a card reader problem if the image on the card and details are ok.
    Are you getting any channels at all ?

    would i be able to copy the software from another box and flash it manually onto the explorer
    as thesparky say's. you dont even want to go there. very expensive for little gain.
