View Full Version : I have fucked it
well with me being the stupid kind of person i am, i decided to fiddle with
my austar box (sti5500) and changed the LNB frequency to see what would
happen and it stopped working, now the stupid thing is that i can't get back
in to the menu to change it back, there are no menu options... help anyone?

Constant signal searching and blank channels and despite many phones and
limited setting checks,
the unit is R/S and a tech has been commissioned to come and fix it.
Something to do with some of the recent upgrades ?
so i'm told.

it's all good, stop worrying..... fairly simple fix after browsing
austech.info....
it seems that with this box, when you turn it on without a sub card in you
get a settings option in the main menu

Unlucky you wanker, didn't you notice they have hidden the frequency
settings....
I also can't wait for v4 cards to be fully in the field.
Good luck knobs.

what I had to do (same exact problem) was put my sub card back in and call
the provider, I told them exactly what I did, I fucked with the settings.
they reset the box and everything was fine!
