hi there,
i have recently bought The Box PVR and i have downloaded the software and installed it onto the box,
BUT, we cannot get into the secret menu using (i + 2007) which enables us to turn on the EMU.
we have tried it so many times and followed other instructions from other sites and are struggling. We are doing the right thing by doing it while parental control is highlighted BUT it is never working. PLEASE HELP!!!
any advice appreciated, is it something wrong with the box?

Hi
Sorry but you can't be doing it right.
Heres how to do it presuming you have the right software installed, the latest is v 4.506 Oct2007. To find Software version press Menu/System Setup/System Information.
To turn Auto Update On (ie EMU On)
To get into secret menu specific to The StarviewPVR only using your remote control.
Press Menu/System Setup then press ok when Parental Control is selected, then press (i) on remote followed by 2007, you may need to do this a few times to get the correct speed for entering (i 2007). When you have done it right it will take you to the CAS SYSTEM menu where the only check you need to do is make sure the Autoupdate Option is set to ON (THIS IS THE EMU). You should never have to enter keys into the SV PVR at all as it always autoupdates so you won't need that menu much if at all.

Hi
Look it REALLY does work, you still can't be doing it right, Keep reading it and take your time I'll try again::
Use Remote Control press Menu/System Setup/OK/
You should then have onscreen 5 Items
1.Change Pin Code
2.Old Pin
3.New Pin
4.Confirm Pin
5.Second Pin
Then when you are on this page press i 2007, you may need to do this a couple of times at different speeds then you will get to the Cas System Menu,(6 items on screen) down to Auto Update Option select it to (ON)
I Posted the relevant info to you in my last post, keep reading it till you do it right
jbvid

Hi
If you go into the Parental control menu you then you are also doing it wrong. go to my last post in this thread and keep reading it and trying it, reading it and trying it, reading it and trying it until you get it. I can't say anymore than that.
Just make sure you have the right software in the Starview PVR, How to do that is also in this thread.

Here it is AGAIN read it SLOWLY :::
Use your Remote Control press Menu/System Setup/OK/ (NOTHING ELSE)
You should then have onscreen 5 Items
1.Change Pin Code
2.Old Pin
3.New Pin
4.Confirm Pin
5.Second Pin
Then when you are on this page press i 2007, you may need to do this a couple of times at different speeds then you will get to the Cas System Menu,(6 items on screen) move down to Auto Update Option select it to (ON)

I am having the same problem - but only for some channels - some premium ones work, others freeze or give me the above message. I have the loop through cable connected correctly. How did you manage to fix yours mo5afda - was it a simple reboot? I tried that but still no joy.
Thanks in advance for your help.

I have just got the box pvr. When i select pc in the hdd menu then connect a usb cable it will not show up on the pc. I am using vista is there any reason that this might be causing the fault? I have tried both firmware versions etc but no joy. Any help would be appreciated.

I have looked through all the documentation and there is no information regarding this. I have tried 2 different hdd's. I go into the menu then go to hdd change mode enter the password and it changes to pc. I then connect up the usb cable but it does not pickup the device. I have tried 3 different usb cables and 2 laptops both that run vista as I do not have one with xp.

Hi you should still be able to use the remote to move to back to the movie channels without effecting sports recording, don't think there is a way round this, will try myself and see if it happens on mine, could be something to do with which transponders they are both on (ie same or not) or which tuner they are using (eg 1 or 2)
jbvid

hi jbvid
yeah can use the romote to change back but can you stop it from changing to the pre record channel automacitally .what do u mean which transponders or tuner they are both on how do i find out and if the are how can i change them.got to go to work now will get back to you later.
thanx for your time.

Hi
Mine does the same, changes to the EPG channel, so its normal,can't do any more.
Forget the transponder etc, not relevant.
jbvid

jbvid thanks for your help.

What is the best way to connect it to tv-just scart or is there another way ?
On the back I have cable loop 1 input (NT Hell in this) then cable loop 1 output also cable loop 2 input cable loop 2 output. Which of these do i link together with my loop cable?
Cheers!

Hi
Scart only best.
Goto the documentation folder link I gave you in the other thread, connections are in there.
