Does anyone know how to update the firm ware in the B&Q Ross satellite kits.
The box I have only has a scart socket and RS232 9 pin socket and the socket for the aerial cable.
I've tried putting my sky dish cable into the Ross box and it found some channels OK so I'm confident the receiver box works. I've now connected the Ross dish LNB to the Sky receiver box as it has an on screen signal strength & quality meter.
I get about 50% signal strength which is the connection between the LNB and the box I think.
I can't get anything on the signal quality meter no matter what I do, I'm almost at the point of chucking the lot in the bin.
I contacted a company that aligns and installs systems but they charge £65 plus any cablingetc that might be required. For a £40 dish system it seems a waste of money to pay the extra £65 when there is no guarantee it will work. The installers could say anything was wrong with the system and try to charge me extra';0(
