i will just write a quick install guide,, till a better one is written ,,
when u pull your limesat out of the box ,, and go to hook up the wires,, first thing ,, hook it up with composite connection to your TV ,, ( yellow, white, red) ,, hooking it up with component connection for video results in a pink screen and is hard to see the menu ,,
this what i did to load files ,, you go into your meny and go into USB menu ,, and call up ur usb stick,, if stick is not recognized,,simply reboot your box,, it will then appear and you should see the files on ur usb stick,, arrow down and highlight the file you want loaded,, then press ok ,, new little pop up will come on screen,, asking you yes or no to update,, choose yes and press ok
first i unzipped and loaded factory 1.02 via usb stick,,then once loaded,, it will ask if you want to reboot your STB,, i chose yes and let it reboot,, at the time,, this was latest factory file,, so i dont know if you need to load it since new Factory file came out ,,
then i found,, unzipped factory 1.03 and loaded it via usb stick ,, once installed it will ask to reboot ur stb,, i chose yes,, once it rebooted i went into the system menu and went to the tv option,,switched from composite to RGB (component),, i flipped off the limesat,, switched the wires from Composite Video to component video turned on box,, and the pink screen was now fixed,,
next i downloaded , unzipped and loaded latest BIN V248,, once it loaded,, it asked to reboot and i picked yes,,
important you do not do anything to the STB when files are loading,, once loaded it will let you know on the tv screen that it was either loaded or it failed ,,
after STB rebooted,, i was instantly connected to my router,, i didnt have to switch any settings or nothing,, and the on screen menu changed,, all i did was go in and set up my Antenna settings for BEV ,, and did a channel scan,, once scan was complete ,, i exited out of menu,, and just like that,, the channels were up and working ,,
this is just a quick install guide,, and is not too detailed,, but it should help you get your box up and working,,, till a new complete detailed guide is written and posted ,,
Limesat support has sent a workaround if the USB drive doesnt respond:
To load the file using my RS232 port with the Limesat loader.
Follow these steps:
1) Hold the power button on the front panel and turn on the switch from the back (it will put the receiver in "Boot" mode) 2) Open the Limesat Loader and select the factory file (V1.02 or V1.03) or load latest bin (v248 new). 3) Select the appropriate com port and hit "start"
The Progress Bar should start to fill if this proceedure works
It is very slow (can take up to 15 minutes to load)
Hope this helps to bring back the USB port back to life for those Receivers that do not recognize the USB stick.
If not, you will have to always load your files using the RS232 port until a proper fix for this isssue is released.
Also forget about PVR as it will not function untill the USB Port function works again..

Well i've been testing the Limesat for a few days now & i haven't seen 1 freeze at all, EPG is GREAT!! So far this STB is GREAT!! I'm hearing that the PPV's will be on it's own server, which would be a good thing once theres more of a server load (more users). There's less DN channels than Bev channels right now which I'm sure will change shortly! Anxious to see if the PPV Fight will be on tonight? We'll see! The box is a little pricey but if they keep up this kind of service, then it's well worth it!!! I mean NO Freezing & quick channel change, if this keeps up when more users are on the server than this could be a GREAT STB, So far it is! For it being the First File release for this STB & for it to be this good, says alot! Usually an STB's first file release comes with alot of glitches, problems etc but not this STB, very impressive!! Will post more as it goes by! __________________
OK, for 1 I had mine in 5 days, shipped from Canada. 2nd) No Freezing at all, Quick channel change MOST of the time, sometimes a delay etc.3rd) The only flaw in the unit is that the Ethernet Plug was loose & you have to open the box to tighten it up on some units & this is what the Manufacturer will not void the warranty on. Looks to me, that someone is trying to scare some peep's into not getting this STB. So far this has been a GREAT STB!! Lots of channels on BOTH providers etc!! So don't listen the these scare tactics, listen to people whom are really testing these units!! __________________
