    Did you try press the green audio button while watching RTE1. You get
    Language set to 1/3 (English)
    Level Normal
    Track Stereo

    If I set Language to 2/3 (nar) I get no sound.

    I hope this helps.

    I just purchased an Ariva 120HD and updated it to v2.15 software via usb. Now its dead and just displays "ASH" on the front lcd. Anyone know of any way to reset it or force upload an older firmware? Any help much appreciated.

    Hi jackbauer,

    You may be able to restore your firmware if you have a NULL-Modem serial cable through the STB EROM Upgrade tool from ALi. At least, I was able to dump a complete firmware, from an Ariva 120, using it and my understanding is that it can reflash any ALi M3602 based STB, even if bricked (though I have only tried a dump, so I can't promise that'll work).

    You can download the tool here.

    If successful, please report, as this will help others.

    Can someone provide instructions on how to copy just the channel list from one Ariva 220HD to another one?

    ASH is a wrong firmware flash message! Standard.... usually time for Jtag lab.

    Nearly impossible to kill M3602 A or B chips. Serial Boot rom loader onboard.

    What size was the dump off the ariva.

    The Ariva 200 and the Ariva 220/120 are different software by the way in case anyone gets confused and flashes the wrong firmware.

    The user db is the channel list as far as I am aware and can be copied alone.

    Hi all most of the kids channels have gone any ideas why?


  • Registered Users Posts: 152 ✭✭fast_eddie


    looks like they're coming from a different transponder from about 2 weeks ago, if you use 11307 (I think) instead of 11642, that's where they are now.

    Sorry if the numbers are off, the box is at home...

    Cheers,
    Eddie

    They are not gone , the broadcaster changed transponder frequency . A tranposnder scan with the new frequency should get it back .

    Yup, more and more SoCs have serial recovery ROM these days, so you can actually reflash a completely bricked or unititialized system using nothing but a serial cable. Don't even need JTAG. The recovery software sends a bare-metal executable, that then takes over the flashing operations. Short of a hardware problem, I'm pretty sure the software I linked to will recover a bricked M3602 based Ariva unit no matter what, but it would be nice to have confirmation.
    What size was the dump off the ariva.
    4 MB, and identical to the official .abs.

    I have a little issue with my Ferguson Ariva 120, basically the sound cuts every now and then for a second or so, it doesn't always happen but it's quite annoying.

    The thing is I had already a dish installed and I was using another receiver and I haven't had this issue before.

    I haven't updated the firmware neither.

    Do you know what causes this problem guys?

    Cheers.

    hello i have a Ferguson Ariva T60 HD Digital MPEG4 box. Got it in for the ireland v slovakia game (waste of time really !) it worked fine for 2 days then we had a powercut and when i switch the box on all that comes up on the screen is the word boot and a green light and then - nothing. It wont work at all. has anyone else had this problem?

    The installer is coming out before tomorrows game with a new box , but just wondering if there is a reset function on the box?

    I recently got one of these boxes after a few uses I had noticed the box had a habit of freezing or sticking at boot, after one of these i tried switching it off and on only it is now dead not a flicker of life in it, not impressed

    My replacement box lasted a whole 11 days before it gave up the ghost aswell. These t60 boxes are very poor quality. We had powercuts due to the high winds and seemingly they cannot handle power surges at all..

    Do not buy a ferguson t60 ariva box, as they are awful.

    .

    Does anybody have an alternative solution to the ariva t60? There is bound to be a box commercially available that is of better build quality at least .

    When you examine the t60 you find that the plug is a 2 pin European type that has been fitted with a plug adapter to work.

    My second ariva box powers up but the graphics have wavy lines running through them and it won't tune a single station.

    Was told today that a walker Saorview box would be an option. I can pick up all the extra RTE channels and The free view ones you get on a standard digibox.

    Had a look at the box today , looks good. There are not many reviews online though.

    Has anybody out there experienced problems with the ferguson ariva T60?

    Guys this thread is about the combo not the T60 which is not a combo box.
