It is necessary
- - a computer connected to the Internet;
- - tuner.
Instructions
Step 1
Determine if your tuner has firmware protection. To do this, look at the microcircuit on the tuner, compare it with the drawing https://hituner.info/images/library/forums/archive/pinouteeprom.gif. If the 7th leg is connected to the power supply, i.e. from the eighth, then writing to this microcircuit, and therefore the firmware of the TV tuner, is prohibited.
Step 2
To fix this, push the needle under the seventh leg, then heat the soldering point with a soldering iron. Leave the detached part in this position, if necessary, you can always return it to its place. Alternatively, close the fourth and seventh legs with a piece of wire.
Step 3
Perform tuner firmware. To do this, download the Flasher application from https://hituner.info/modules/newbb_plus/download_s.html. Unpack the archive to any folder. In it you will see the application file itself and the firmware files for the tuners. Run the program. The name of your tuner will be displayed at the top of the window. Please save your firmware version before flashing your TV tuner. To do this, click the "Read" button.
Step 4
Select the desired file in the "Firmware" section. Then click the "Burn" button. If errors appear, try to read the file, if the contents are equal to the firmware, then everything is in order. If not, repeat the firmware, before that restart your computer. Possible messages of the program: "Error while reading" - this means that the file could not be read, or the microcircuit is busy; "Done" - TV tuner firmware completed successfully; "Write error" means a partial match. After rebooting, the system detects the tuner as a new device.
Step 5
Launch Behold TV program to remove old drivers and install new ones. To download the program, follow the link https://www.beholder.ru/support/downld.htm. Test the tuner and perform tuning according to these instructions
