You can reboot into the BIOS and change the video output to NTSC 480i. Hold down the MENU button on the remote while you plug the power cable into the STB, that will put you into the BIOS, video resolution is the first option, toggle through them until you see NTSC and then press OK.

plug in composite cables that came with your mag box to your tv and go to video in outer portal there you can adjust your video output.

The thing scrolls like crazy in the bios but I do see video output....I go to the right untill I see NTSC and push ok......nothing changes.....tried AUTO instead of NTSC....same result................If I push OK on NTSC is that acually suppose to save it to that setting?

did you unplug it then hold down power button then plug back in?

[floder2]

yes I did.........comes to gray screen rolling with TFTP Load.........but nothing happens.........If I go back to the bios.........video Res....says PAL and I change it back to NTSC..... but it never actually goes into NTSC mode .......or I would get a clear picture.......

[floder2]

OK now I think I got it........IN the bios I go to the right on (TV system) until I get to NTSC and then push the F1 button and that saves it...clear bios picture...

fun when the light bulb comes on, isn't it??

[floder2]

Now when I reboot...no PAL problem anymore but it boots to a blue screen with the words TFTP LOAD and a progress bar.....but it just sits there with no progress .........

[floder2]

What should the other settings in bios be set at?

[floder2]

ok now back in the bios.......the boot was set to DHCP ...I changes it to NAND and it booted up fine to the menu
