Rookie Alert!

First of all I would like to say hi to everyone this website/forum(s) - so hi everyone! :)

I have a problem related to my Amiko mini HD - most of my HD channels have gone and I've been trying to update the channel list with the help from "farenheit", "hopper" and "freck" - the files that they've uploaded on other threads. However every time I go to upgrade by USB and upload the channel list - I get 'Check software version error'.

I am new to the whole 'Amiko' setup as I've upgraded from a F5 box.

So if its ok with everyone - can you share your knowledge across so I can learn from this mistake? :)

Thanks!

First off, is it a Mini HD or a Mini HD Combo?
For the Combo: Download and Extract the .zip file to a usb (you should have MiniHD_Combo_Galaxy_1.2.24_fixed by Dekolte_UK_Ch-List_JUNE.abs) and go to Menu > System > Upgrade By USB
Then select the downloaded file within the Upgrade File option and select " All SW + Bootloader " for Upgade Mode.
Then Hit Start.
Let us know how you get on.

Hey Farenhiet - thanks for the fast reply.

What is the difference between the two boxes (I feel embarrassed :$) I tried to google the two but it comes up with all the same ones haha but its the black one and not the red one.

Thanks

The Mini HD Combo has a Hybrid T2/DVB-C tuner (Terrestrial and Cable) as well as a DVB-S2 (Sattelite) Tuner. Basically 2 tuners.
There are 2 Mini HD set top boxes, a Mini HD SE (1 x Sattelite only Tuner) and a Mini HD T2/C (1 x Hybrid Terrestrial and Cable Tuner)
This is the difference in a nutshell. Have a look at the back of the box. If it has 2 inputs (LNB in and RF In) its a Combo, if it has a single f-type tuner (LNB In) it's an SE and if it has a single RF In its a T2/C
Take a looke here.
Hope this helps

It has a single LNB in - so its a Mini HD SE.

I tried what you told me to do earlier and it came up with the same message 'Check software version error'.

I don't think your channel list is the problem if your not clearing HD channels anymore.... I take it you mean sly movies & sports??????

Yeah I'm not getting HD sly movies or sports and a few others ... but rest of the channels work.

Either is anyone else buddy!!!! sly have implemented new pairing methods between their cards & receivers.... there are plenty of threads on here about it.

Ahhh I see! Daymm that sucks ey! I guess sly are getting smarter! =D I'm sure they'll be away around it! So should I keep floating around in this Amiko Mini HD forums to see any updates?
