    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

    Regards

    Martin

    Select software (HD300N_SC_RS232_1.bin)
    Turn on receiver with rear switch
    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
