Starview HD fix for blank MAC address + 'Bricked SVHD'

was that 5 hours from when you got the fix just meddling about with it, if so
copy and edit martins post to the way you got it done proper and start a fresh post!

 

for start to fin and worked every thing out 7 times in the com and back to tv

 

it will tacke about 25 mins to do if you get the firmware ready

 

THIS IS FOR THE STARVIEW HD COMBO + ONLY IF YOURS DOES NOT HAVE A LAN PORT DO NOT USE THIS FIX!!!!!

hooter007 just for you
------------------------
You will need:

A computer with a serial port

A Null modem 9 pin serial cable (as used on the starview 1 - 3)

The following file: NEW FILE COMING SOON!!!

Once you have the above:

Connect the SV HD to the computer using the serial cable and attach to mains (leave turned off by switch on back)

UNZIP the file downloaded

open HD-200_Download.exe

Turn on receiver with rear switch

Choose COM 1 (unless you have connected it to a different port)

Select software (HD300N_SC_RS232_1.bin)

Turn off receiver and back on

bar will start counting to 100%

WAIT UNTIL SOFTWARE SAYS COMPLETE!!!!

Turn off receiver put it back in tv

P.S. This will also recover 'bricked' SVHD's (if there are any lights still on)

Once complete the receiver will be as factory provided.

If your Starview HD has lost its MAC address this is what you need to do next:

Go to accessory - network - ip config

Set IP to auto put in mac and apply

You can now edit the MAC address back to the original receivers address - Your mac address is on a sticker inside the receiver (you can see it through the vents on the top)


Then you can start from scratch loading which ever firmware you choose.

i put all the firmware all the way up to Guinness_HD+_Combo_With_Cccam_Fix_0524 them i scan for channels then the Key Edit menu Hidden function, turn on net (just go in and out)turn on ccam and turn on Ustream(UK) or Istream(Ireland) and thats it on

I hope this helps

Hi there,
I have tried the fix and although the software says it is is connected the bar does not progress towards 100%.
Can anyone help with this?
Thanks

 

Make sure yer RS232 cable is in both PC and cable both perfectly straight!

bar will start counting to 100%
WAIT UNTIL SOFTWARE SAYS COMPLETE!!!!
Turn off receiver and back on

 

Thanks for the reply []v[]
I have it all connected correctly and the software detects the comm port is connected but the program does not run.
I am using a USB to RS232 convertor and all installed correctly.
Any ideas?
Thanks

 

ya tried running the software as admin?

 

also try with an XP computer if not already

 

All
I have followed this procedure but still I can not be able to load any formware. It has gone to factory default and when I try to load any firmweare it fails at 20% and ask me to check my USB. I have used a different one and even formated it in the boix but still no joy. Please help.
