Works fine on TV 1 with feed direct from Aerial and Dish. Although I have not watched it there for long.

Other room, (through diplexer) Plugged it all in. First night, it showed the Sat dish channels perfect. But no DTT.
Next night it showed the DTT and not the Sat dish channels.
Also froze completely when trying to read my 250Gexternal harddrive.

Afraid of taking on persecution of other user "liamtech". planning to return it and swop for other box tonight.

did you take it back and change it for another box
very weird that you cant watch ddt channel while watching another, Ferguson combo an nvision combo can,,weird

I brought the Triax 537 back. got Golden Media box. Still the terrestrial was dropping out as soon as the sat signal was connected to the back of the box. It turned out to be the diplexer was faulty. I replaced it with a new one. Problem prevailed.
So I've removed the diplexer alltogether (kind of double adapter little junction box that combines the terriestial and sat signal onto one cable, used with a second little box that splits the signal out at the other end).

Hated the Golden Media box interface, looks really amature like a student IT project.

So the fault WAS NOT WITH THE TRIAX 537.

Power City were great and gave me the Triax 537 back. I've changed the wiring so that the connections from dish an aerial are direct into Triax 537. It is now working perfectly for me.

Hi All

Just tried to install a 537 for someone and had similar probs as others have described in this thread.

Does anyone know where I can download latest s/w and/or f/w? I'm sure the box I've been landed with has older versions!

Or maybe someone could attach to a posting?

Thx.

P.S.
I'm not at all impressed, Triax!

Hey Lads,

I had a simular problem, I contacted Power city who put me in contact with a company Electroplus, Electroplus sent me the new Triax software by e mail and also i called over to them and I purchased a Triax Satellite & DTT Combiner and has worked fine to date. the part are not expensive and effective.There phone number is 4196240, Well worth the phone call.

I would point out that my cabling doesnt include a combiner- and i still had massive issues with it

Here you should find a hidden menu to backup channel data to USB, restore from USB, and rearrange channels.

Hi, I tried this but no hidden menu visible. Not sure what I'm doing wrong, if anything! Anyone got any pictures of this process?

Box has s/w ver. 1.6.0 installed, from new.
I hope to update s/w to latest ver. (3.3.1?) when I get hold of it!
Maybe then I won't need to get into hidden menu as latest s/w ver allows channel sorting??!!

Bought the Traix 537 a few weeks. Had not seen this thread. Can understand frustration of Liamtech. Brought it back twice because of signal problem with 'terrestial' channels. Live with direct view of Three Rock -picked up 95% signal and kept on having to reset and put up with loss of signal. Tried a variety of aerials. Powercity seemed unaware of any issue but kept offering replacements. Despite look of it I went with Golden Media. Working perfectly.

my experience exactly

That box is now available from Power City for €225.25. It has software version 3.4.1. Would you guys recommend it now?

I exchanged my original 537 for the updated one last week. I set it up and gave it to a family member as a present as planned last christmas. It appears to be working fine. However it is not possible to rearrange the channels properly. I wanted UTV on channel 3 and when I went through the steps in the menu it accepted my input but when I went to view channel 3 it had disappeared completely. The assistant and I tried it on the one in powercity also and it did the same. Some channels could be rearranged however! I put the channels in favourites instead, in the order I found them though if I had been careful I could have put them in the correct order by working on them in the order I wanted them to finish in. Still not great as favourites is only accessible after scrolling through a few menus every time you want to change channel. I will stick with it until the warranty is nearly up and hope there are further updates which appear to be kept secret or until another brand becomes available with MHEG 5, combi, PIR

I checked the firmware before returing it and it was 3.4.1. Also, I had no problem rearranging channels on the first triax but had serious problems with the second triax I returned. A bit of a lucky dip?

I was just checking prices on Powercity and noticed the 537 seems to be gone ?!?!?! Anyone confirm this?

It's certainly not on their website at the moment. Pretty sure it was earlier in week. No mention of it at tvtrade.ie either. Most confusing as Dave indicated in this thread only two days ago that he believed its problems were "sorted now".
Perhaps Dave (Digital Satellite TV) might know what's happening.

@liamtech: You have done this forum & consumers in general great service not just by drawing attention to the problems associated with the much awaited, much hyped Triax ST-HD 537 but also in your subsequent, tireless pursuit of Triax to resolve the defects with it.

Given the number of complaints posted here and subsequent returns to Powercity, I'm surprised they stuck with it for so long.

+1 cheers to liamtech
