8 8 8 8 Front Panel Display Problem by teach
This problem is created when the PC --> STB transfer cable is disconnected before the data transfer has completed or when the STB has been powered "OFF" before data transfer INSTALLATION completion.
This problem "may" be fixed by a reload of a file; it's suggested using a factory software file. The data is transferred from the PC to the STB (PC --> STB) [See How to Load or AZBill's 11 step procedures]
Upon successful STB data transfer AND a front panel display of "DONE" AND, finally, a front panel display of "0 0 0 0", THEN, you may turn the STB "OFF". Wait a few seconds (5 is recommended) and then turn the STB "ON". The "8 8 8 8" should be gone.
NOTE:
It is important to be aware that when data is sent from the PC to the STB, the STB takes a couple seconds to "process" the data. The "END" or "Inst" front panel display indicates the STB acknowledges an end to the data transfer to it and that it is installing the data.
After a few seconds to process the data, the front display then changes to:
"0 0 0 0"
indicating the STB has finished. The STB may reset after a data load. Once the front panel is all zeros, it is "OK" to turn the power "OFF".
Also note, the upgraded files starting at v70 do an automatic reboot and reset... BEST procedure is to just wait for box reset... PATIENCE! we're just talking seconds here--usually no more than a few with a max of about 10-15 seconds.
