Hi,

I have an Avant 32 VCR without Set top box controller.

I was at my b&o dealer today and they told me that it is posible to instal that module. I know what i need and it is posible to fix. I just do not know if i can do it by my self.

1. I am asking for pictures and instalation instructions of the module.

2. How do i change the software chip for the television? If it is the old software in the television i need to change that module to.

Best regards

Hampus

Hampus,

A Very Warm welcome to Beoworld..

The STB-C unit is a small box with the circuit board inside as shown below..

It is fixed on the reverse side of the rear PCB.

Thanks for your quick respons.

I think som one needs to point it out for me.

I can open it up tomorow again and take photo of the inside, if not som one her maybe have a picture of the insite of a Avant.

Regards

Hampus

I have a STB-C module available if there is not one currently fitted.

On the subject of the STB-C, I had mine installed in my Beovision 3 by a dealer. If at some time in the future I want to update it, does the chip plug in or is some soldering required? Is it a DIY job?

As shown in the picture, this is a plug in chip..

Provided you use the normal "Static" protection with wriststrap and grounded mat, then it can be done quite quickly. No soldering is required.

Thanks Keith, much obliged.

Now for my next questions! My current STB-C controls my Sky+ box. Do newer chips permit control of the new Freesat boxes (Humax for example).

If so, how much is the chip?

Thanks.

The price seems to largely depend on the relationship you have with your dealer.  Last time I purchased one, I paid £15 ... but I have heard of people paying £45 and upwards ...

Also if you don't have a decent chip removal tool (not just a PC memory one!) you can easily break the side of the chip socket that will then render the board unusable...........

Don't ask me how I found this out with a 32" Avant motherboard............ :-(

Thanks to Keith and others for the responses. Appreciated.
