This evening i received a call from a software engineer from napier university, this lad has been looking at this problem for over 4 weeks since the release of the 260 file. he found that there was a integral part missing which was the sections to accomodate all boxes this script runs for abot 100k bytes however this was missing so only accomodated for the larger processor speeds, thus when it runs the scripts comes to a dead end and the box fails!! seemingly he mention there was a loop hole it ran for so long, at the faster speed as was being overclocked thus again would only last so long before the asep chip got full and sent the flash to fail !!! , The 257 and 258 files are fine only difference is the decryption methos values have been extended. He then went on to the problems with the 300 file which is a exact replica of the 260 file, however it has the fscript telling all the boxes to run at thir speeds, however there is a small flaw in compatability seemingly on the flash dump value. He said that if the files were not dumped before the 300 is installed the asep chip would not store the script to run the compatability check thus causing th eflash to fail.!! just like the 260 bin. he has also looked at the the 300 bin file and said there was 4-5 errors, he said that the freezing on this file was contributed to missing script which looks like it was accidentally missed out from the previous files of 257 and 258. the epg could also be fixed as the write back process on the box could be set alot faster but for some reason it was set to 4seconds Huh He also ranted on about alot of missing lines and lines to which had no meaning and if the process was ran on the box would again contribute to flash fail. The one he did mention was pressing the epg !! putting th ebox on standby. I know this lad is a geek and i kind of got his drift. he said dont run this software as it requires fixing!!! he also said this was homemade not done by any factory!!! ? what he said he would do is open the 257 and incorporate the latest decryption values and add them to the 257. Undecided
Hope that shows how the box dies from 300

the file contents are 100% identical to the 300 file. changing to 301 will be just the same as 300

will there ever be any software that will support the clone boxes or are the clones a dying breed and best to give up hope now or should we still hang in there?

Ive got 2 boxes, 1 of which is a clone. Flashed em both with 300e last wed/thurs, and both have been working fine apart from the occasional freezing. Hopefully there will be a fix for the freezing issue..

I thought it was because no channels came up for a couple of minutes (saying bad channel or scrambled channel) but then it showed a progress bar and all the channels came back up.

i have soaid somewhere before on this site that i have some mates who installed the version 3.00 firmware on clone boxes and everything seemed to be ok for a while at lease it was about 6 days then the boxes died i do not know why sometimes it takes so long for them to die and why some die straight away there must be an error in the firmware script or a delay or something but im unsure what to do at all

Your right. But won't someone make an updated firmwire which eventually remove all the bugs and problems in the previous firmwires?

Just follow the instructions and you can't go wrong;

hi mrtfool
thats a good buy from ebay
1. Plug starview in at the mains;and put on stand by
2. Plug in null modem cable and join up box with
PC using COM port on PC (there is only one socket for
this on the starview you cant go wrong);
3. Open up GTRom loader this will be the soft ware on the cd
4. Click on "BIN File" on GTRom and load the
Auto update BIN File file that you have
(which I assume you have downloaded from here).
5. Now click download button and you sill se the
file being downloaded.
6. Once complete a mssage will apppears saying
something like "download successful".(you must wait till youir pc says this it about 20 seconds atfer it says 100%))
7, plug box in and press Menu on
remote, installation, choose your cable provider,
then move don to automatic scan and press ok.
8. Once all channels have been found press exit back to TV screen.
9. Now press menu, parental control, press ok.
10 Now press the info button then the numbers 2 0 0 4. Move down to Key Emu and change option
to on.
Press ok , then exit back to TV Screen.
11. Go to scrambled channel and wait for it to unscramble the channels
12 then watch tv.
13. Details how to sort favourites etc is in the manual.
Get a Bin c=image for your area though and this will
save you a bit of work.

Does anyone have any ideas as to why this thread is telling people to remove v300 and other threads are staying to stick with it?
I would also like to know where Marky got his info about the voltage problem as I can't find any other info on web.Thanks.

owners of clones are scared in case the 300 kills their box like 260 did. using it with a genine box is safe. using it on a clone isnt yet confirmed as safe, some clone owners have tried 300 and so far no-one has given any bad reports. i guess its up to the individual what to do

version 3 killed some peoples boxes that i know so it isnt a good idea to use it on clone boxes there have been warnings on some forums to take the version 3 off the clone boxes because nobody can actually say how long it will last before it kills the boxes so it is to be used at own risk personally i have seen what it can do and i wouldnt touch version 2.60 or version 3.00 clone safe or not with a barge pole as it will kill the clone boxes at some point in time

I have a 1st gen box and loaded with version 3 and it worked ok except for the occasional frame freeze. However after all the threads on this site and others about boxes possibly being purged and killed off that has ver3 on them I resorted back to 2.57e and it is working and without freez frame problem.
