Can anyone repair this please.DJ.

 

have you had the box flashed it could have the wrong software on it flash it with the box pvr from here http://www.4shared.com/dir/3042613/f6e3421c/sharing.html

 

I have heard of this there are several ways to solve both are not very costly.

Hopefully it is a corrupt flash, other is the c11 capacitator i think it is. I seen the same issue on techno-source have a look on there and see how the guy solved it.

Have a look at this thread - removed by loco

 

--------------------
The model Iv got is the starview pvr genuine cable box it has been working fine till now, cant do any think with it now it just says ON when I turn it on and that’s it. The circuit board is different C11.is 10v 2200uF. C21.is 50v 1uF. on power board if someone can repair it for me i will willingly pay thanks DJ.

sorry i have a starview (the box) i got 1000uf @16v for c21 is this ok??

 

Thats the C11 cap.

 

scOuser while your around - I am correct in assuming that the Eurovox PVR that has just been launched uses the exact same firmware as the standard Eurovox? would be obliged if you could confirm.

 

Different version of firmware but the same format. It will be available for download soon.

 

Thanks a million, in Eamo's when ready presumably Cheers

 

Yep when available Should be to market within the week. Around the £100 mark although add on the HD as well, (cheap enough on fleabay ) and you will have a decent PVR at a good price

 

Yep, quite right - have been checking it out and the launch date is scheduled for the 7th of this month, good price though, lower than when the EV came out? (not counting the drive).

 

Market is open hence the good price

 

Correct as usual

 

Hi,
Id just like to say what a brilliant site this is such a vast amount of help, I haven’t, solved my problem yet but I will keep trying.
There seem’s to be a number of different circuit boards for the starview so the advice Im getting does not help, The cap’s C11 and C21 are different on my board C11.is 2200uF.10v - C21. is 1uF.50v. If there a way to send picture of my board then we could all start at the same place. DJ.

 

DJ sorry I was answering gansu. Your problem may not be a cap, have you got any channels showing at all?

 

o yes thanks i got them (will change when i have time)
