Thursday, October 11, 2007 - 02:06 GMT I have 2 identical receivers and my other one works great with that file. I am getting nothing at all. It's not even allowing me to get into the receiver to load channels.

Thursday, October 11, 2007 - 02:32 GMT If it says FAIL...then its NOT dead!...its a cable or comport issue...or bad timing in upload...be persistent and force upload the factory bin!
