starview clone new fixed files

You can do 1 of 2 things - a full re-scan after a factory re-set, but as it is only 4 channels you might want to do as follows. From one of your affected film channels - Menu - Installation OK - Manual scan OK - Press OK on Down Frequency, when finished exit back out to TV and the affected channel will appear at the end of your channel list, repeat the steps above to regain the other channels - "Don't forget that you must do the procedure from each affected channel" when complete, just re-order in channel edit and delete the one that is not working, bit long winded but it does work.

 

i did what u said mate and it worked u r the best thank u so much

 

Hi sonya, sorry I have only just seen your post, if you are anywhere nearby I would upgrade your box no problem, it's really a very simple task honestly it just seems complicated when you have not done it before, so give it a go, you won't do any harm, if you want to pm me you area if you are close by then I will sort it. At least I will guide you through it if your not close by.

 

Well done and thanks for getting back to me, always do that for loss of individual channels/sound etc. it is only due to a small frequency change. Cheers

 

These are the cables you need to flash the firmware.

If you have a computer or a laptop with a 9 pin serial com port which is male on the back all you will need is this,

Female to Female Serial Null Modem Cable which looks like this,





Make sure you do not buy a Serial RS232 9-Pin Female to Female cable as SG8 has stated below. they seems to be quite a few people buying this from mapl*ns, It has to be a SERIAL NULL MODEM CABLE Like the one above!!


Serial RS232 9-Pin Female to Female


If you have a computer or laptop without a 9 pin serial socket you will still need the Female to Female Serial Null Modem Cable as above and this USB to Serial bi-directional DB9 Adaptor Converter to make it fit into your USB port


If you have a pc and you are struggling with the usb adapter as above you could add a PCI serial card which is easily added to you PC and with this all you need is the null modem cable which gives you a direct link from your box to the pc.





I hope this helps.

 

Hi

Right i'm gona be really brave today and FINALLY try and sort my starview clone out.

I lost all the channels about 2 weeks ago and have been reading these forums, which seem fantastic, but you all seem to know what your talking about when you mention codes, cables, flashing etc.

Unfortunately for me its little help as I have no idea where to start with all this. My starview clone i bought of a mate so all i had to do was plug it in and away i went.

But now that the channels have gone off, i'm totally stuck.

Where do i enter the codes? In fact WHAT codes? Whatsa code and where do i find these?

Whats the step by step process?

Whats this about flashing/downloading some software called fix 2.4 ee or something?

I'm sorry to be a pain but i would be grateful if someone could guide me through all this, step by step, my baby loves watching the baby channel as she is teething at the moment so is very restless and without my starview, the poor thing has nothing to take her mind of the pain and I have nothing but sleepless nights!!

once again many thansk in advance!

 

Dont worry we all start from somewhere same as u just read them and u will get it some how like i did it for latest codes just follow this link http://forums.afterdawn.com/thread_view.cfm/528527
to input them its depend what box u have if u have starview 1 then press manue and enter1570 and now u will see option just press EMU off then press Navagration and u will now be in another option by choosing the arrow left and right the very first box u will see the cable provider details just ok when u found ur provider for example C&W ,T&W ,N*L so on once u selected them right underneeth u see a box with oo or o1 select 00 then enter the 00 codes then ok it then c

help try to download frim ware to SV" iused crypt.v4
have nul cable &usb converter i try changing COM pors but when ipress download error can nt find file
any help please???

 

You have to choose the bin file, click BIN File tab and browse to where you have put the bin file, then double click the bin file and it will appear in the BIN File window, it is then that you press download,make sure you have the box App File Only box is checked, if still no joy then check out HiTeck's post above to ensure you have correct leads.

 

Just one thing to bear in mind guys, with regard to the USB - Serial adapter. There are 2 types of these on the market. There is a uni-directional, which allows the pc to communicate with the attached device. The other is bi-directional, which allows the pc and the device to communicate with each other.
You need the second type, bi-directional, as the SV talks back to the pc to let it know stuff, like the flash is starting, download complete and whatever else.
