Spiderbox hd6000 menu expand help!

[spark]

Evening all!
Just trying to set my new spiderbox hd6000 up and have run into a problem. I cant get the hidden menu to expand and im not sure if I need to load a patch or not. On my old 9900hd I had to load a patch and enter 1111 to expand but cant seem to find out how to do it on this box. Any help would be greatly received.

You need to load the patch software.

Got from another site. I hope this can help you.

Setup Guide for Spiderbox 6000HD


This setup procedure was compiled by jbvid Super Moderator and posted on the Spiderbox forum, I have only amended the links to the patches & channel lists on this forum:

Setup Guide for Spiderbox 6000HD

Patch Loading. Please note : Only use Spiderbox 6000HD Patches and Channel lists, all other model Spiderbox files are NOT compatible.

Download the latest patch from the link below and copy it to a USB stick.



Thanks to kempa82 for reminding me about first saving your channel data if you have any loaded, then doing a Factory reset before and after patch loading, the reset code is 0000.


Place USB stick into Spiderbox and go to Menu / System Settings / Update & Backup / Image Upgrade, scroll down and select if in a folder, if not then side arrow to select the patch file from the right hand screen, press ok and wait for the file to load, Spiderbox will reboot when complete.
Connect Network cable between Router and Spiderbox.

To Setup Wired or Wireless go to Menu / Multimedia / Network Settings right scroll to select Wired or Wireless, ok, enter your wireless Password then go to the floppy disc icon in the same text window to save.
To get extended Menu options goto Menu / Others and press 1111, this will give you 3 extra options at the bottom of the list.
Go to ‘Network’, scroll down to IKS and press register OK, will then show Connection Status as Connected and expiry date.

Satellite Setup

Go to Menu / Sat Settings, scroll down the left hand list and click OK to select all the Sats you want to scan, this will give them a tick.
Right arrow across, scroll down to Motor, right arrow to select ‘Diseq/Usals’, OK, Scroll down to Mode, select Drive to Satellite, scroll down to Set Location, OK, Scroll down Set Long then Lat then save, scroll to Go ‘Save Data and run’ thats it.

Now to scan, Goto Menu / Automatic Sat Scan scroll down to ‘Scan select’ and change to ‘All Sat’, thats it, go get a coffee while it scans.

Or
You also have the option to load a premade channel list, look in the channel list section:



How to Backup lists and data, link below thanks to kempa82:

addendum, for software to apply correctly,factory reset before and after loading new software, be sure to save your channel data first,

reset code is 0000

EPG Timer for Recordings.

You will first need a suitable USB storage device plugged into the front USB port, I use and can recommend a 2.5 inch laptop drive 160gb or 250gb fitted into one of the small USB caddies, these are self powered from the Spiders USB port.

A very nice easy new feature that works well, Up to 8 timer recordings can be set via EPG selection, first go to Multimedia / Recorder Settings / One Button Recording / On (this is for the remote red button start). Then set yourself a suitable ‘Default Recording Period’ then exit the menu. Make sure your time is set correctly in the System Settings / Time Menu.
Select a channel that you want to record, press the EPG button, right arrow and down to select the program you wish to record, yellow button ‘Book’ scroll down to ‘Timer Mode’ and right arrow to ‘Recorder’, ok.
You can also set up a Timer recording manually in the System Setting / Adv Timer Menu.

Many thanks to jbvid for this setup procedure.

thanks gogoli...just one question to you or any other experienced user..

the guide above says "first saving your channel data if you have any loaded, then doing a Factory reset before and after patch loading, the reset code is 0000."

I have seen other guides which (seem to) say just do the factory reset AFTER the patch is loaded..

"Instructions :
First save your channel list
Go to Network settings & select wired option
Go to Network-Ser*er Setup & turn CCcam, Newcamd lines (if you have) to off
Load patch
Factory Settings
Load your channel list

which is better procedure (and why?)..thanks for reading

[^^COMPASS^^]

just doing a factory reset after patching is enough unless otherwise stated
