A friend of mine just acquired an H3 unit "Model 86019 Rev H3 Lot 3806". We were experiencing the same problem as the original poster. The unit would always enter the "Failed to locate GUI" and "Contacting Servers" loop. Tracing on the TFTP server would show that the dongle.bin.ver file was indeed getting requested. However, the dongle.bin never was. Eventually I resorted to trying the Hauppauge windows software. After placing just my dongle.bin (original 0.3.1 release) in its folder, the unit did download it and start mvpmc. After some more pondering an investigation, I decided to replace the dongle.bin.ver file on my server with the Hauppauge version. This was the change that resulted in being able to successfully start the H3 unit with mvpmc. I'm not sure if the H3 units are simply more finicky about the content of the dongle.bin.ver or simply have a new enough software load that the content of my original dongle.bin.ver was deemed older. Hope this helps someone. -- Jamin W. Collins ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys. Earn Cash.
