Hi,



Can someone let me know where I can get the previous version file for my MAG 254 set top box.  It seems that Infomir removed the older files from its website, and the new Informir update 254/0.2.18-r23 does not work with my IPTV provider’s IPTV server.  I need 254/0.2.18-r22 version of the firmware because,  I am getting STB Blocked on my MAG STB/TV.


Thanks in advance.
