NULL MODEM CABLE DB9F to DB9F
http://www.maplin.co.uk/Search.aspx?criteria=L71BT&DOY=2m6
If your pc does not have a serial port you will need a USB to serial port adapter to use in conjunction with the null modem cable.
USB Adapter
http://www.maplin.co.uk/Module.aspx?Modu...erial%20Adaptor
These two cable links are only for reference as they can be purchased a lot cheaper on fleabay.
Updating Firmware
Connect your box and PC with a Null modem cable and switch on the cable box and put it on STANDBY (just clock showing)
(The Starview does not need to be connected to TV - to power only to update it with GTROM)
Open GTROM Loader software make sure that you set the correct COM PORT that matches the one that is being used.
Make sure App file only is selected, then click Bin File Tab & browse to the firmware where you downloaded it to on your PC. Now double click on the bin file and it will appear in the BIN File window
Run the GTROM loader by pressing Download and you will see the % progress increase then Download completed message on your PC.
Wait/wait until you see the DOWNLOAD SUCCESSFUL pop up box on your PC the Starview will then reboot - Now you can remove the NULL MODEM CABLE.
Disconnect from PC and connect back up to the Tv set.

Apart from the obvious, and I am sure you have checked, that it is receiving power box - is turned on at the back or(fuse etc) it is possible that it has had a power surge, not to sure - Are you sure that you have a genuine box, no LCD at all seems to indicate that it is dead. If it was a cap. problem you would receive some form of indication of life on it, such as 0 showing on front.

Dear Malci
Thanks for your reply.
Box is not switching on at all(No any Light or LCD at the front) but there is power in the box because i was feeding my original N*L box thorugh the Starview and it is working because when take the plug out from the main for starview box N*L stop same time aswell.
So i don't realy no what exactly heppen.
thnaks

Darora, have you done the necessary checks, if so then have a look here at the image courtesy scOuser: >>>

remove from power before you take off cover if you are going to have a look, but as I have said you would in all likelyhood have a 0 showing at front. Just seen your post - still have a look but it looks dead to me so you may want to look at the possibility of a JTag situation, info on same page. Have you verified that it is a genuine box. sent a pm

Did you try turning it off from the on/off switch at the back of the box?

It sounds like you dont have the cables connected properly it came pre programmed so it should be a matter of plug in and Go....

Try changing the cables around, move the cable in... to the cable out... and vice versa, and have the scart at the bottom outlet!

Ok relax Its just a bit annoying when people start running all over the place and we try and help but dont get a reply to say if it worked or not, we are all learners on this site, and your problem could have been discussed previously, so really you should have a nose around before posting as the answer you need could be on the previous page,
Ok here goes... press menu then press 1570 you will see a line saying nagravision, below that there is a line that says EMU, this should be on, please try this

when i press menu the only thing that comes up is installation, parent control, channel edit, user setup, factory settings, system information,and when i press menu again it goes back to blank screen there is no line that says emu.
