    Can you count the vents on top , 25x7 is genuine 18x7 is a clone , looks like you might have flashed with the wrong firmwar* , if its clone you can send a private message to fergus and he will sort it out for you

    Ok the clone needs to be updated with 2.57_fixed and the genuine is updated with V4.00 , therefore the wrong firmwa*e has killed the clone .

    Is the other box a clone too and is it still alive ?
    If it still has power you could update it with the 2.57_fixed before it kills itself .

    You can send a private message to members 2 ways

    1. you can find a post by that member and over to the right of the post (Beside .. Report an offensive post) You will see an icon of a head , click that to send a PM

    2. Up the top of this site you can see , ( Compose a Private Message) , if you click that you can type the name of the person you want to send a PM

    If u put new firmware on and they died shortly afterwards then they are clones and not 1st gen starviews ! Your supplier is lying to u as genuine boxes will not die . Only problem u would get is if u put starview firmware on starview 'the box' and visversa..

    Basically , sellers are not responsable for the firmwa*e you update on it , If you send a PM to fergus he can fix them for a small fee and they will be back working
