Just wondering if any you have heard of this issue, or know if it has occurred. I can power up the Anaconda and shows "load" and then "Run". When I press "Menu" it shows the word "Menu" on the front of the Anaconda receiver but nothing happens on the TV. Have you seen this or heard of this happening? Doesn't appear that the Anaconda is dead, but she might be wounded.
 
You need to try a different video port than what you are using. It sounds like the video port you are using is dead.
 
Are you using HDMI? If so, look on the back of the Anaconda and use a different video connection. I am not sure of what the Anaconda has but I know there is more than one video source available.
 
Tried HDMI and tried RCA (3 colored wires) and no luck. menu will not show up on screen. here is one other connection but I need to try to find a wire to connect it to the TV.

The Anaconda has HDMI, Composite and scart. If you see the load-run-menu then the box is fine, it's in Pal mode. I'm lucky one of my smaller TV sets will display in pal as well, but as EB says the NA file will boot the box in NTSC, then you can load a channel list.

When the Anaconda is displaying Menu it's asking you to set up the menu such A/V settings ect, ect, but you can't see the menu as it is in PAL mode.

IF the Web interface plugin had been installed then you could see the receiver's screen through the interface. Having this plugin installed has saved me lots of problems.
 
Ok, this I will have to figure out. Having never loaded anything into this receiver, do I simply load the NTSC file into a flash drive and then plug into the Anaconda and power the Anaconda up? I have not loaded anything so I do not think the web interface has been loaded.

Lots of other goodies that this box can do as well in the Anaconda sections.. Good idea to load some things like the web interface in case of future problems..
 
Download the NTSC file.
Unzip the file and install it on a formatted fat 32 usb stick.
Turn the receiver OFF using the rear rocker switch. Insert the usb stick into the receiver.
Hold the front UP button and turn the receiver ON. Continue to hold the front up button until you see the file being loaded.
 
Error 90 = USB Error

Have you tried the other usb port?
Did you unzip the file before loading it on the usb?
Is the file the correct one for the receiver?
Are you using a Kingston usb stick?
Was the usb stick formatted to fat32?

Have you tried the other usb port? Nope, didn't try that
Did you unzip the file before loading it on the usb? Yes
Is the file the correct one for the receiver? Used the one in the link from Viper
Are you using a Kingston usb stick? No, don't have a Kingston and was wondering that may be the problem
Was the usb stick formatted to fat32? Yes and I am currently formatting it again for a second try. I guess if this doesn't work, I will have to wait until I can pick up a Kingston

Ok, got a Kinston stick, loaded the unzipped file, with the stb off I plugged in the stick, turned the stb on while holding the up button on. Front panel showed LD and counted up from 0 to 99, then FE and counted up, then FP, counted up then back to FE, then FP and finally the front panel flashed END. Tiried menu and still nothing so any suggestions as to what I may have done wrong?
 
Ok, just to clarify, a null modem cable has both ends with the same number of pins? The cable I have fits the RS232 connection and the other end is the same. Can't connect it to anything I have here. I do have an adapter but I would be connecting to the RS232 through a USB connection on the laptop and I don't think that will work.
