I finally got my Starview box to work(260) no thanks to Wizard who sent me a box which woould only say "bad or scrambled channel". He offered zero support,didn't said all that was ordered, no reply to emails, no answer on the telephone.
I can only advise people to buy from one of the many other dealers out there.

Where did you get the 2.60 file from? It was released by wizard for their boxes. If that is not support what is? The support from wizard is on satdownloads.co.uk. Many other dealers are selling clone boxes, be interesting to see what support they offer.

I had to hunt around the internet myself for anything I could find about starview. Not a single word from wizard pointing me in the right direction despite requests. That is what I call no support.

I got my starview frm Wizard as well ... said it would come with the latest updates, ready to run out of the box, blah blah blah ...

Got no help at all from him, finally found this place and my starview box has been as good as gold with the '257 firmware provided by Asid.

Since then, brought 10 more boxes and they never came from Wizard yet every single one DID run straight out of the box ... go figure huh?

Wizard gets no more of my custom. Once bitten, twice shy!

AND DONT UPDATE TO 2.60



Here is some interesting news for all about the 260 file i found
There has been a lot of uncertainty over the 2.60e_E bin file that came out recently for the Starview receiver. I have been looking into this in depth and have found out quite a lot. A lot of people will say it is to do with "clone" receivers but I won't entertain that term myself. There are 2 versions of the Starview out at the moment and this does not include the new Starview called "The Box". One of the versions is bigger than the other, does not say "Made in Korea" on the box or receiver and has a slightly bigger remote and the rear panel layout is different to the other as this one has the Scart sockets on the left as you look at the back. The second version is smaller than the first one, does say "Made in Korea" on the rear panel and packaging box, has a slightly smaller remote and the Scart sockets are on the Right as you look at the rear panel. This one has been called a "clone" by some. Both have now ceased production I believe but I cannot be certain of that. The real main difference between the two is the bigger box's processor runs at 85MHz and the smaller box's processor runs at 65MHz. Now this is where the 2.60 bin file comes into it. The 2.60 bin file released on the 26/04/2007 was designed for the LARGER box only which runs at 85MHz. This is why the smaller box fails after a short time, hours, days or even weeks, because the processor cannot cope with the increased speed. The 2.60 bin file was only designed for the larger boxes through who has them made and imports them as they do not want to support other versions, which they say are "clones". There is now a "fixed" version of 2.60 out now which is modified by a distributor of the smaller receivers to run the same as the previous 2.59 and 2.57 versions and be safe for the smaller boxes. Both files are available and are safe to use but only as stated above for each box. These could be posted in our downloads but I will leave that up to satman to decide. In any event, any software that is downloaded from anywhere on the internet comes with some element of risk but we do ensure to only upload files that are safe. Therefore the 2.60 file that was on here for a short time WAS safe as I first said but only for the larger type Starview receiver which at that time, no-one knew that this was the case, except the developers of this file. Whether this was an underhand tactic to destroy the other, smaller version of Starview or not has been argued on other forums but I have no time for that. I hope this report of my findings help clear up the recent events with Starview files and even though there are safe versions of 2.60 for both types of boxes, there really is no dire need to update as previous versions all work on autoroll so the choice is yours.
This is based on my findings only and is for information only as no doubt people on other forums will disagree.

right then, hi all. well if your starview box has just gone off then here's how i've just fixed mine. it was doing exactly the same as described above, just updating. right have it on any channel and press the menu button, now dont go into anything, so there should just be a list of options up. now press 1570 on the remote and a secret set of options comes up. select nagravision, now with the key number on 00 go to the key data and it starts DF, go onto the F and press 5 so it changes and then starts with D5 instead then press ok to store it. now go up to the key number and change it to 01 and a different key data code will come up, this should start with EE change this in the same mannor as before to E4 and press ok to save again. now exit the menu's to find all your channels back. happy viewing.

Hi just a warning to anybody, i bought a starview box of ebay and when i recieved it, it was fitted with the 260 firware...it has totaly killed the box, i have changed the firmware but it still wont unscramble the channels, i have now tried 255, 257, 258 and non of them work, this as totaly done my head in, i have tried the1570 method and the 2004 method, but the system doesnt update it just keeps going back to 0% , if anybody has any idea why the channels are still scrambled or wether they agree that the 260 has killed my system , please help...anybody else know why i cant get channels please let me know, it is finding the channels no problem , but it wont find any ntl ones on either of the firmware...please help

Who is this wizard guy, i hope its not the same guy i bought one off, as he seems to be totaly ignoring me, it doesnt work and it hAD 260 on it, i think that killed it as soon as i connected it...please help anybody, i have tried every firmware still all scrambled, tried the 1570 and 2004 method, all still scrambled, please please help

you need to input the new keys in the nagravision menu. keys can be fornd on this forum.

To freedosh: If your box starts then it is not killed. A killed box is useless. It will not start so you wont be able to view anything on it. It also is not flashable. If you can access the MENU then your box is not dead.

Go to MENU ... type 1570 ... goto Nagravision ... and input these codes for each of the providers

What you have to do is download a firmware file (255, 257, 259,) along with it. Click BIN file and select the Firmware.
