    Is it a Starview 1 or a Starview 2 called "The Box"? Also press menu, then system info and post what it says.

    I guess you have "THE B0X"

    You will need to flash it because you cannot access the secret menu with 2.60 installed



    You will need a null modem cable DB9F to DB9F.

    Null modem info
    http://www.maplin.co.uk/Search.aspx?criteria=L71BT&DOY=2m6

    If your pc does not have a serial port you will need a USB to serial port adapter to use in conjunction with the null modem cable.

    USB Adapter info

    http://www.maplin.co.uk/Module.aspx...t10&doy=search&MenuName=USB to Serial Adaptor

    These two cable links are only for reference as they can be purchased alot cheaper on fleabay.

    All firmware/loader can be found in the link at the end of my post marked Eamos Library.

    You will need the GTromloader, (Starview Software Uploader), found in the Starview software folder of the link.

    You will need version 4.50 firmware for IRELAND found in "THE B0X" firmware folder.
    You will need version 4.51 firmware for UK found in "THE B0X" firmware folder.

    And please download the Starview PDF guide,(similar instructions, this will give you step by step instructions on how to do everything.This can be found in the Starview Documentation folder in the link.
