Re: Fitting STB-C to MX4002

It did take the Newcastle technician two and a half hours to do mine and we had a few false starts! Mine wouldn't work with the most up to date software so we used 2.0

Thanks for the info Peter,

I have now programed the STB-C to code2 but I am still not getting any response................!!

I will have to check all the connections during the weekend. I did notice that when I disconnected and reconnected the IR cable for the STB-C connection in the back of the MX the TV switched on the analogue tuner!!

Codes now on - look in the manual section for the AV9000.

For some reason, I have not put the STB-C codes on site - I'll correct this tonight. If it is a simple Sky box, not Sky+, then the code is definitely 2.

Peter,

I have found instructions in both Dutch and German.....but no English! It looks straight forward enough but I want to make sure I program it right if I only get one hit!!

Can't remember but I will look it all up tonight. I don't think the codes changed actually. 2 is definitely Sky though Sky+ is different. Have you found out how to program it?

Peter,

do you know what software version was on your STB-C? I am just checking that code2 is definitely correct for my version of STB-C before I try programming it!

Thanks,

Simon

I wasn't aware of that Peter! I didn't have the relevant sheet of paper. I thought I set it with an on screen menu!!

Yes, the software chip is present. I checked after reading your earlier mail! It has software version3.2 I think.

Can anyone advise how to set the code............please

There should have been a sheet of paper in the box which tells you how to set the code. You actually do it blind and it is a once only set up. If you have not done it yet, then it will still be possible! However I don't have access to the instructions (not sure I do anyway) as I am at work. Maybe someone can give us a clue! Did you check that there was software in the STB-C? (In the silver box!). None of the ones we had did! The MX does not work in the same way as the Avant and there is no on screen menu for set up.

Peter,

I haven't found any new menus to allow me to set the AV2 scart to the STB-C and then to the Sky Box as code 2! Where do you access the new menus? I have a user guide for an Avant or AV5 but as stated earlier I haven't found the required menus in SETUP.

I haven't got the AVX2 fitted to the MX, it is fitted to the main TV which is the LX. The MX is the link TV in the bedroom with its own seperate Sky Box.

I didn't set the AV2 scart to V.Aux as I didn't find the expected menus to control the Sky Box. Am I doing something wrong? Does anyone have a more dedicated User Guide for the STB-C on the MX?

Simon

You switch the Sky box on with V.Aux. Get rid of the AVX2 initially! It doesn't help! Did you set the code to 2? Mine is working though the AVX2 does have a few little foibles! Once the Sky box is working, then put the AVX2 back and have a play!

Well I've fitted the stb-c but nothing works!! It took me a little while to find where everything went using the guide but all seemed to go well........!?

When I connected up the Sky Box to AV2 and switched on MX I went to program the scart as per the instructions. Unfortunately the menu was exactly as before, giving no option to select satellite or STB.

During the installation it was noted that a cable from PCB4 linked socket23 to the Masterlink PCB. I therefore connected as instructions in the guide ie. link socket23 to STB-C PCB and then on to Masterlink PCB. Is that correct? I do link the MX to my LX which has an inbuilt analogue satellite receiver in it. This allows me to watch Eurosport for free on the MX.

Anyway any suggestions where I could of gone wrong or things I could try??

Check you have all the bits first! It took him two and one half hours! We also discovered that the 2.3 software froze the TV - so we left the 2.0 in it. It is not that simple and this was with a practically new AV9000.

Thanks Peter,

I plan to fit the STB-C on Sunday if the weather is bad........!! Hope it is less taxing than it was for Terry!
