I have just bought a Magic Module secondhand. Plugged into my Fortecstar Zeta and it recognises it. So far so good. Unfortunately when exploring the menu I selected upgrade firmware expecting some further options only to see "deleting old data" displayed. If you remember the spagetti western super slo mo scenes then that was me reaching for the exit button...too late!:-Nooo
The machine has since been turned off a number of times and with no card inserted so I gather it will have reset. The menu now says Mrv2.2, H/w 1.5, s/w 2.2, loader 1.0. Assuming i will now need to replrogramme I have ordered a serial loader to stick in it and linkto PC and have downloaded "Magicload" and "magicload original" plus "penta111conax23march.rar" in anticipation. I assume the loaders are to manage the download onto the module and the pentacrypt is the firmware replacement. Not sure what card I then need as i thought the module will decrypt anything which does not need a key and that a card is only required either as a formal subscription orr to access specific networks
Can anyone confirm I am heading in the right direction and if not point me there before I make an even bigger mess with my limited knowledge!!!
