How can can i fix it ???

No it is not software problem but it is just bugs only. YOu need to do Channel Scan and then restart it so it will come automatically. Otherwise you need to do Factory reset or do Software updates.

I restarted many times but it dint help........and also i tried factory reset but no change !!!

Well as I said it is only bugs. Do now software updates manually then restart the STB and do channel scan you will get the list.

MODEL 1 -Hyundai....

Manufacture Name-HDT-RND5

Software Version-1.7.2

Hardware Version-ALPHA1

Middleware Version-c0201x1

Nagaraguide Version-4.5.4.6

CAK Version-33


Bugs:-
The Home ,Guide and Big keys all open the same thing the Home menu which incidentally doesn have the Search and Cinema feature yet.

The EPG doesnt work it does not show the programs for even one day but if u press the i key u can get info of current program, it might get corrected after an update to the Nagraguide version...cuz its has been stated in the user guide book to support 7 days...so might be a future version or a version avail to Reliance ppl...

The Cinema key takes us to the preview channel 101 whereas it should take as to the cinema section but as stated above its not yet available so it will work in a future update.....

Only 2 channels have interactive menu available no 991 and 101......

Select key doesnt directly go to the select screen it goes to the Home screen highlighting the select option...

The Colour(Red,Green,Yellow,Blue) keys dont work..will be working in future update....

The Big key still doesnt show the account info etc ..should do dat in a future update....

The Mini Guide is freakin slow and hangs most of the time and sometimes channel changing takes lot of time ....and the screen goes blue ..with only the Big Tv logo to be seen..

The search feature is a good feature but its still not available,it has various criteria to search from like date,timetable,category,director,actor,title,keyword etc...

The parental control in settings has pay tv option missing..it is good for blocking amount of rs or time to view ppv channels...


Tips and Tricks:

To factory Reset the STB press power on remote and putt STB in standby mode and then press red button until all three lights in the STB blink and leave the red button ...reset will start now...
This reset is particularly useful durind software update failure....cuz if ur data gets corrupted due to power failure u can use the pre boot forced software update by pressing the up and menu key on the STB simultaneously and then pressing ok to intiate graphical update sequence ...after dat is done ur data is still corrupted and the STB will start and go in standby automatically its basically a failed boot cycle...due to the corrupted data but can be fixed by usin the remote factory reset ...it should solve the corrupt software problems......


If u press the i key u guys might note that the big tv logo disappears ....I think its mainly done through software big tv hasnt yet implemented the logo in the signals....

Thanks....Hope u guys like my short review of the software...

Hi, My STB hanged after I did a "manual download"(in the factory reset menu) by mistake. Now without any output, the STB LED glows red then green then nothing. It is repeated. As you mentioned by keep pressing RED button, will factory reset happens? or any other way to do that thru remote?

I am trying to configure my Big TV STB on my Universal remote (model: tihao e10in1) link: http://pven.com/tihao_e10in1.htm

But am unable to identify a Hyundai code for the BIG TV STB.Was hoping if any of you could help me please.

Thanks,
