Starview Real or Clone - i cant work it out! HELP

Hi i know this information is all elsewhere but i am really struggling with it all. Im normally pretty good with these things but not with this.

First i am trying to find out if i have a clone box and what this entails. I have looked at all the pictures and i have the back of a clone box, the inside of a clone box with loads of resistors but i have a normal remote? Can anybody put me straight. If it is clone should i ask for my money back?

Secondly, over the last few days the keys have been changing and i have been getting the manual keys off here (thank you). Is there a way that they can be changed automatically as everytime it is only 1 digit out?

My star view version is:
API ver: 4.00e_E
Boot Ver: 7.0
7 Jun 2007

What can i update this too (if real or clone), and also how do i do this. What will happen to a clone box? Im sorry if this is blatenly obvious to some but im really getting stuck with all this, too many people with different ideas.

Thank you for all your help it is very appreciated.

 

On the top of the b0x
18 vents = clone
25 vents = genuine
Looking from the front of the b0x- left scart = clone
right scart genuine.

 

Mine seems to have 16 vents so ill take it as a clone. Should i ask for my money back from the bloke who sold me it off ebay? I was expecting the real deal and got a fake. Will it break down over time and can i update it?

 

Ask for your money back, & dont use the seller again.
Hope you went through paypal

 

if ur box is running on 4.00 then only update it to 4.00 u will find the link at bottom of scousers posts if u use the link to update its dated 10-4-2008 if ur box is a clone its not a true clone they run on 2.57 software and running 4.00 would have killed your box

 

Read this thread, its has pics of clones and genuine

Right my box has 18 vents, i mistook what you ment until i saw a picture, it has the back of a clone, the inside of a clone BUT has a normal remote and is running (so it says) on version 4.00 and as Tryabit said a clone does not run on that version. Im getting even more confused.LOL

 

dont no how long u have ur box but if it has run fine on 4.00 for a few weeks or more up date it with latest version of that softwere if u had box with 2.57 softwere and put 4.00 on it would kill the box in a few days so as that hasent happened id say ur safe with 4.00 thats my opinion only hope it cleared it up for u

 

JUST TO LET YOU ALL KNOW OUT THERE IS NO CLONE SAFE STARVIEW 1 FIRMWARE OUT THERE ANYWHERE THERE IS A FAKE FILE RENAMED AS CLONE SAFE THAT IS ALL IT IS THE V4.00 RENAMED AND THE TUT HAS ALSO BEEN EDITED TO BRING THE AUTHOR OF THE NEW FIXED V4.01 DOWN SO YOU ALL KNOW NOW IF YOU USE THIS FILE YOUR BOX WILL DIE IF YOU PUT ON A CLONE BOX

hi iv just looked at the pictures to she if my starview box is a clone the thing is the box it came in the remote and the user guide are not copyed but the box is a small one so does this mean my starview box is a clone please help

 

Can anyone tell me if there are Starview 3 clones out there, and if so how would you recognise them. That aside anyone recommend genuine Starview 3 Internet dealers selling denuine Boxes

thanks

 

www.iwantabox.com. I got mine there and it worked,it's genuine too as I have the 25 vent slots on the top of the box not the 17 or 18 on the fake ones.

 

Thanks Darragh98 much appreciated

 

hey ive been reading the posts on here and have posted my own question. i bought my starview super box 3 off ebay from wizard promotions i got it this week and when i tune it in says bad data scrambled etc i hear there is codes out now but i dopnt know how to do it or find out if it needs updating. it has 25 slots on top and scarts r on right side and my remote is same as original anyone give me advice how to get it working again thanks.

 

do not run version 4 it will kill your box it happened to me after a few months.it was going fine then bang bye bye if you want to run this box the 257 fixed is your image you need then you will have to get the key codes all the time they scramble it

 

Thanks for all the tips and tricks here..
Question: What box would you suggest for Dublin/NTL (no PC with a serial connector available, but a Apple Mac)?
I have seen on several Web sites SV3, SV2 or Eurovox boxes (and a bunch of other boxes). Which one should someone pick?

Thanks

Hi, can anyone help, I have the cloned box and in an ex C&W area south England.
Tried many of the codes but no luck. I am running Boot vers 7.0 Ap version 2.57e_E.
Thanks

 

New update for clone's officially released last night, thanks to Sunrise - with auto-roll and safe to use it is called CryptStar_1.4-CORE257Bin - you need to flash your box to that and all will be well find it in the Library >>>

Go in to Starview and then Firmware
