    Thanks for info and link. Got the file OK and downloaded to the box after having to purchase Winzip. Having difficulty getting at the emu switch. Am I supposed to be entering from parental control and typing info 1570 as the pin or is there now a new entry procedure.

    Sorry about the last message Scouser it was just me being a bit thick. EMU key now on and channels available but not sure about the 1570 keying in instruction as I followed the methodology you set out last year. What does 1570 do and how come I havent had to use it?

    Sorry if I'm asking something thats already been covered before - I've searched but can't find a satisfactory result.

    I have a genuine Starview box - 12 rows of 25 vents on the front.

    I updated with what I thought was the latest GTRomloader and latest .bin file - it tells me download successful.

    When I check software version - it's API = 4.00e_E, boot version is 7.0 and the date is 7th June 2007.

    I've looked in Eamo's library and used what I thought were the latest files - can anyone tell me the file names I should be looking for?

    When I try to browse to a channel, the following error is displayed:

    Bad or scrambled channel

    Please help!

    Thanks..

    should be 7 X 25 on top.
    press menu > 1570
    Turn key EMU on.
    go to "set default key" press ok
    exit to s*y sports & see if it updates

    Sorry, I meant 7 x 25.

    I've done the steps you mention already - can you advise what it is the correct firmware file?

    Thanks

    I tried updating using this file - 'STARVIEW_H20070607_400eE_api.bin'

    I went through the same steps again - GTRomloader told me it had downloaded successfully.

    I connected the box to the co-axial cable - went to Menu - 1570, turned EMU on, went to Nagravision and selected NTL

    Went to a premium channel for the code to update, but I just get the same message 'scrambled or bad channel'

    Can anyone help?

    Thanks..

    Its alright Karl as key emu was already enabled then. This is the emulator for descrambling the channels.

    BTW no need to purchase winzip, should have use winrar or a similar freeware program.

    Are you sure your firmware update was with the latest Cryptstar firmware. As your earlier post said you used version 4.00 firmware and not Cryptstar.

    I'm not 100% sure, but I've updated the box with the Crypstar file you specified, using the latest GTRomloader.

    When I get home, I'll power the box on, go to hidden menu, ensure EMU is on, emsure Nagravision is set to N*L, turn it onto a premium channel and hopefully it will work.

    If it doesn't, should I reset to factory settings and then do an auto-scan?

    Thanks for the help and patience.

    You could if you wanted to. But I can gaurantee that if it has Cryptstar and emu on it will work.
