Questions about the 102E

ajayuk · Dec 11th 2014

Hi all, Im new here so be patient and gentle with me :)

1. How can I tell if the box I got off a friend has patched FW or not?

2. I have made a backup of the existing channels and the file format is .abs, I have since found an up to date channel list with all the HD channels removed because of the new security measures by ***, but this channel list is in the format .udf and I cannot load it onto my box, why?

3. Is there an idiot guide for these boxes, I have the manual but need a better insight into what I can and cant do

4. Ive noticed files for the 102E on this site, Patched, EMU and FW, I know FW is like original Firmware, Im guessing Emu is an Emulation? and patched is a patched FW?, what does an EMU do?

TIA

Go to Menu/tools/network local settings
Press red button, if new screen appears, most likely your firmware is patched.

An emu (emulator) is a software version of a cam(conditional access module)
It allows you to read cards without a physical cam.
It also allows you to use your receiver as a client box (shares)
A good place to start understanding your receiver:

It has been saved as a user database file.
As far as i know, this type of file is saved over a firmware file to incorporate your channel list into your firmware.
Here's a tutorial i found on the net but (as with everything else in this hobby) do so at your own risk.

Open ariva editor and open udf file
the goto file export and save it over a new firmware abs file (basically overwrite the new firmware file )
this now has new firmware and your channel list (still has same file name as before overwriting with udf file)

put usb drive back in combo box
goto upgrade by usb
upgrade mode userdb (or Allcode+bootloader if you haven't yet upgraded the firmware)
select the new firmware file,
click start

With thanks to darth maul for the tutorial.

Not really, just use the search bar, top right of the page (chances are it has been asked/answered in the past) or just start a thread about your specific problem.
