problem loading newest bin

[Habsfanatic]

I get an error message saying that the _sw_code.sgn is invalid, I have tried downloading it a few separate times, I have even tried the previous Bin file and got the same message.

should I wipe the software on the box with the clean file first?
I have already auto searched for channels and have them all listed in the EPG, should I not have done that first?

I just read the setup file and it doesn't seem to be working the way it should

any help would be appreciated

thanks

did you unzip the bin before putting it in your stb??????

[Habsfanatic]

yeah I did I saved it to disk, extracted it, changed the name to _sw_code.sgn and pasted it in the usb drive.

Sorry, need to check on something.

[Habsfanatic]

yeah I renamed the file, thats what I'm supposed to do right?

[bigevil69]

yes i would try that and see if it fixes the problem

[cisco123]

not as far as i know the cs7100pvr you dont.try it with out renaming it!!!!!

[Habsfanatic]

by reseting the factory defaults I have actually got it to recognize the file named _sw_code.sgn but now its telling me that it isn't the right file. Should I have the .zip file on the usb drive as well as the .sgn file?

[bigevil69]

try it without renaming it

[Habsfanatic]

without renaming it it will not recognize the file at all. But if I do rename it I get an error saying that the file version is incorrect

[bigevil69]

did you try the cleaning file
also delete the file you have and redownload a new one
here's a link for you so you won't have to hunt for it

I cant unzip the file at that link, plus I don't know how to clean the file up.
what do you mean?

[cisco123]

if you down load the file to your computer.save it.then right click on it to unzip it.when you get it from here it is a zipped file.

sorry I was actually replying to the link that bigeveil69 had sent me


but even with the new downloaded file and the name change I still get the message "incorrect file version"

[cisco123]

no I am actually trying to load the Coolsat 8100HD micro PVR Factory File V1441A
and then I am hoping to load the BEV channel file.

but to answer your question more directly I am taking the Coolsat 8100HD micro PVR Factory File V1441A file unziping it and then renaming the unziped file to _sw_code.sgn and then putting it on the usb stick. If I don't do this (renameing the file) the reciever wont even recognize the file at all.

but if I rename it the file it finally gets recognized but I get a message telling me that the file is not the right version.

thanks for the effort

as long as you have a recent bin installed no need to rename file. when you go to system info what file does it say you are using?? have you loaded latest factory file?

[cisco123]

have you tried useing the loader instead?another option

I am trying to follow the steps that are outlined in the setup for cs8100hd manual posted by grasshopper
