Hey guys I am trying to update my starview firmware but I seem to have a hybrid box (part 1st gen and part clone!)
The autoroll updates the codes/keys incorrectly which is why I need to do something. I am running API v3.00e_E and havent had any problems (for about a year) until the last few weeks.
Your help is very much appreciated, please reply soon! As I will be updating in a few days - save me from myself! lol

@ tempo2006 - so the correct file to use would be CryptStar-v1.4-Core257.bin only?
Scouser, pip - if you're out there your help would be much appreciated!

Yes use this file. It will work with both genuine and clone boxes

Cheers Pip and Celtic,
I will let you know the results as soon as my NULL Cable arrives in the mail.
Feel free to advise Celtic, I will always be grateful :) I was told that my box is a 1st gen, but its so hard to tell, as my box looks deceptively clone like
I read Pip's earlier post about his box looking like a clone but actually IS a 1st gen, so I knew he would have the experienced eye to distinguish between the two ;)
Cheers amigos!

As long as you are sure it is a genuine Starview 1, then you should upgrade to CryptStar-v1.4-GenuineOnly. and you will find it in eamo's library at the bottom of post, Starview Folder 7th down into Firmware and it is 3rd file down.

I don't have an "experienced eye" to tell the difference merely owning the box for over 2 years.
Rule of thumb is If in doubt about whether your box is genuine or not then install the clone firmware as it will work on both.
If your box already has firmware from v3.00 or above on it then it has to be genuine otherwise it would have been bricked long ago.
I'm no expert, what I know has been learned from here thanks to people like Fergusb, Sco0ser, and Celtic71 to name just a few.
I owe thanks to many more but we are all here to help!

No problem , if you are having problems with SOME ch@nnels , delete them and do a manual scan on that freq and you should get them back and they will be located at the end of your ch@nnel list

Go to the Movie ch@nnel you are having problems with , note down the freq it is on , (Press the SIG button on the remote) In dublin its 323.000 , Then delete the channels
To Manual scan , Press Menu > Installation > Choose Provider > Manual Scan > type the freq into "Down Freq" and press Ok to scan :)

I am unable to download the firmware onto the (Starview 3) 'The Box Super' box that I have just bought.
I thought maybe the grey RS232 cable was not 'null modem' and so went to maplins and bought one (17 euro! - scammers) but same results.
- If I set to standby and hit download, GTROM just sits at 0%
- If I Power off the box, hit download on the laptop and power on the box again, I get nothing for about a minute and then I get update failed.
- If I power on first and then hit download as soon as it says 'on' on the box, it says 0% for about a minute and then update failed.
The COM port on the laptop seems fine and there is some form of comms going on 'cos when I try to update when TV is running, the screen goes black... there's a reaction on the box whenever I try to do something (background disappears, tv goes black or the box reboots when I disconnect)but I'm not able to update the box.
At least nothing is broken - each time I fail, the box resets itself and works fine.
Should I be messing with the serial port settings on the laptop?
Bits per second (baud) 9600
Data bits eight
Parity none
Stop bits one
flow control none
The current version of the software on it is date Jan 2008.

Hi
Just updated to the latest version on a genuine starview box 25 vents x 7.
when it came back on i could not view any channels but i could flick through them with no picture and sound just a black screen.
I then did a factory reset and a full channel scan .
i got some channels and they are viewable but it did not pick up lots of channels when it did the auto scan
i have most movies
no bbc1 , 2 channel 4 or 5
Any ideas please???
Thanks in advance.

Very strange. I take it you are on about a starv**w 1 box. To have the movie channels and not the free ones..............
Make sure you have turned EMU back on!

Sorry for butting in pipp , I seen this happen on numerous occassions as its not picking up all transponders , the best thing to do is this method
Menu > Factory Setting
PIN 0000
OK to delete
Turn box off at the back for a minute and turn back on
English > Installation
Choose Provider etc
Automatic Scan
Press OK
Channels found
Exit
Press Menu then 1570
Turn EMU key ON
Exit , exit , exit

Hi
Thought we had cracked this prob but after trying to sort out the Fav' s im finding channels missing like all the discovery channels and some kids channels.
Some Transponders are failing when i do a search.
Any ideas why please It was fine before i updated it to get the codes rolling again.
Thanks again
