For sw version 1.2, the Firmware Upgrade (Via USB) and Safely remove USB device
is gray off. Who can upgrade FW via USB?

No problem upgrading to the latest version (v2.1) but didn't notice any differences.

What type of flash drive did you used? The function you mentioned will remain gray off if no drive or unrecognized drive is inserted.

Just found out that the free STB deadline has been extended so I am eligible to get a box now.

Question: do I go for the NewMedia box or opt for the voucher and get the Draco instead?
What's the difference between the DSC250 and ANT900 antennas for the Draco?

difference is $$$ vs FOC

better go for draco.

many members reported the problems with newmedia box here.

funke is one of the top brand for dvb-t antenna, so you should go for DSC250, or top up $10-$20 for DSC550 or DSC560.

Wow, the NMS STB really CMI. Now my STB got sound but no video!

Initially thought the TV got problem but can display the STB menu settings. Tried the box on another TV with the same result.

Think the warranty already over, now ended with a half-working box! Anyone got faced this issue?

My was working fine on my Sharp TV, the problem surface after firmware upgrade and me trying out the games. :s11:

Even after downgrading to my former firmware, still got the same problem. Already tried all workaround I can think of.

Have you call M1 Hotline? Me email NMS and was told to call them. Sian. :(

No idea what you're getting into. Also not sure what you're asking for in PM :s11:

Anyway, will call M1 hotline sometime this week, my STB warranty is coming to an end.

see if you can get a link to their old firmware to reflash via USB

they have the "latest" firmware online.

What's the difference between the DSC250 and ANT900 antennas for the Draco?

I'm using both Funke DSC250 & ANT900.

Funke DSC250(it's black) can be placed horizontally or vertically and comes with a LED light which turns blue when in use.

ANT900 is white and can be placed on top of TV or stick on wall/console/feature wall/windows with a back 3M tape.

I found no difference in quality for both. It's more about the looks. Packaging wise, NMS looks "cheap", Draco looks more "premium" although both set-top box performs about the same speed.

Don't think it's firmware related (at least for my problem) as I did downgrade back to the former version with the same result.

My parents had the free box delivered and installed so I guess that set is the NMS? If so, then I'll really avoid it. 1st one went dead after the tech installed it and left. 2nd one appears to work but after ~40mins of TV, it just freezes and stops responding. Power cycling also won't help... really bad boxes, wasting time...

Thanks for your reply and answers.
Oh forgot to insert the thumb drive...hehehe. (no issue at all)
Is an old portable ext HD 500GB, (need a power supply to drive), 2TB, 3TB ext HD and a very old china brand 1GB thumb drive.

Using STB to format the ext drive before recording.....
Like camera, always use the camera device to format the ext drive but not at the pc.....(also remove all the program file inside the drive)

Don't see any problem if your STB is at lower version. Why need upgrade SW? They used new version so that can fly very fast and high? LOL.

See my reception quality....
