    Hi guys, ive a prob with the ariva 120. Basically, have 2 boxes. Wanted to copy the channel list from one and put in onto the other one so i saved it on a usb. Downloaded the files on the second box but i guess the software was different or something. I have all the irish stations and the channel list but the satelite stations are all no signal. How can I fix this? I try rescan but it fails

    First off if the boxes are the same model then you can share the channel lists by doing a dumpfile to a USB. Then you can upload that channel list (and included firmware) by doing a UserDB on the receiving box.

    Your problem is that the second box is obviously not connected to the satellite dish correctly.

    I powered up the Ariva 120 and get the message "ASH" on the display

    No output from the unit and remote and front panel buttons all unresponsive.

    Any Ideas?

    Thanks

    ASH is a symptom of one of 2 things. Flashing the wrong firmware to the box OR a dodgy eeprom. There were a dodgy batch of these last Christmas, but the issue would have presented itself by now. When and where did you buy it ? And did you flash firmware recently to the box ?

    Hi, I backed up everything and have now upgraded to the latest firmware. It says there is no channel list so that's what I'm looking for. Where do I go? The file at the start of this thread 'is missing or has been deleted by the user'.

    EDIT: Problem solved

    @greendragon3 Download the latest firmware here.

    Unzip that file to a usb stick. Put in front of box.

    Go to menu and upgrade.

    Choose allcode+bootloader. Let box get to 100% and reboot.

    You will have to go through the setup again. ie tuning in satellites and terrestrial channels and sorting, but your HDMI will be working again.

    Yep did as Stb suggested but because I couldn't see the menu etc I had to first connect it through scart so that i could ' view' the menu
    Hope that helps! Good luck.

    Just downloaded Firmware 20130402 V2.18b8 from the Ferguson website.

    I presume (in 2017) the is the latest & last firmware update for the Ariva Combo 120. Started from scratch and did a FULL scan on Astra & Eurobird, then thirty five minutes later ...... Bingo I had nearly 900 stations, many of which are duplicated on Eurobird :)

    Lots of deletions to be done now, but do I need Eurobird at all, or will Astra suffice?
    I know it played a part last time I did an update in 2013, but I cant remember why.

    I'd suggest trying Astra 2 on its own and set "network search" to on . It should then download all the transponders from the satellite data feed . You could also set "FTA only" to on to avoid loading pay tv stations.

    The entries for Eurobird and Astra are just tables of known transponders. These have probably changed in the last four years.

    In my opinion you'd be better to start from scratch again and do a blind scan on Astra 2

    A blind scan instead of a full scan? I've jus done a Full scan anyway...

    Shall I just delete all the Eurobird stations & concentrate on Astra?

    Already making 'Favourites' lists!

    Old thread I know but wondering if anyone knows of an updated channel list that's around? Trying to update the father's machine and manually editing the channels is torture.

    Download the software on a pc. Takes a few minutes

    What software are you referring to? I'd agree if I could edit the channels on a PC that would save loads of time. In the past here Tony and others had shared channel lists which you could download, stick on a USB and update the ariva with them.
