    I am trying to flash a new starview box (The Box). All attempts have failed. When I turn on the box I get a green dash moving across the display from left to right then the right most LED shows a single dash. after this nothing.
    the TV just displays ' The Box' banner.
    The remote has no effect.
    Downloading returns the message 'Downloading failed'
    Any suggestions?

    have you tried it a few times ?

    Are you in the UK or Ireland ?

    UK is 4.51 and Ireland is 4.50

    Did you buy the cable or was it supplied ?

    A friend of mine bought SV2 (THE B0X) and was supplied with the cable , it worked out that it was the rs232 one and he couldnt flash it as it kept coming up failed , I tryed it with my NULL MODEM CABLE and it worked first time.

    It might be the rs232 cable and therefore its failing , you need a NULL MODEM CABLE , they actually look the exact same

    Here is a link to the cable you need to flash it
