Nokia Mediamaster woes continue
...but I have some positive news. I was planning to take the infernal machine (aka Nokia Mediamaster 260 C) to someone who could fix it, when I accidentally hit this information from the Kuopio cable company, which contained an actual document from Nokia detailing the problem, and how to solve it.
It seems that the versions 1.0.8 and 1.1.1 of the Mediamaster software may crash, if they detect a new version available in the network. The solution is simple - unplug the antenna lead and reboot the machine. When it comes up (you detect this by the blinkenlichts in the front panel), you connect the antenna lead, which should allow you to get into the Navi menu and go an upgrade the software manually.
So, problem solved. Temporarily. But why did I have to go to the Kuopio cable company to figure this out? Why is there no notification on either on nokia.com nor on HTV's page? In fact, HTV only tells me that the 1.1.1 SW update has been removed, but has no mention of the problems nor the 1.1.1b update which is available in their network. An update, whose availability seems to be the reason for the crash...
*sigh* So it's not only the people who made the box, it's the whole chain from that point onwards.
Update: changed link, since the original seems to be gone.

There is a conspiracy.. That link to Kuopio seems to be disabled.--jiivonen, 10-Nov-2004
Okay, I refound it through Google cache, so I updated the link.

I looked for an update a few weeks ago and found nothing... after reading this, looked again, and success! Of course, it has forgotten everything, and within three clicks had hung again. Bah!
