starview data is being updated

hi hope im not askin a silly question but could really do with some help, i just got a new starview box and everything was fine but today all the chanels went blank and it says data is being updated,it then freezes at 120%,somebody pls help as my head is wrecked.

 

have you turned on the emu

 

sorry bout d delay getting back to ya garyedge,was away for a few days. yea i had d emu turned on. i can get 5 or 6 channels in but thats it, have u any ideas? all d channels that i cant get in have whats like a little doller sign ($) on d channel list.

 

take your box back to factory setings and set up again you will lose all your favourites you had in order but at least you will get every channel back.

 

tried that gary but d same thing keeps happening, it just says data is being updated,goes as far as 120% and just freezes, any other suggestions?

 

the only thing i can suggest is to reflash the box.ps you defineteley had the emu turned on.

 

yea d emu was def on. what do u mean flash d box? im kinda new to this.

 

when you said you took it back to factory settings are you sure you did factory settings and not just re scanned. to reflash it you will need a null modem cable and then you have to download the file to your starview box.

 

is that d same as a n rs232 cable? yea restored it to factory settings.

 

yes i think thats the same log on to this site www.techno-source.co.uk have alook on there it tells you how to download the latest up date if you get stuck ask someone for help over there .

 

cheers mate,ill try that

 

sorry im only gettin back now been away ive tried 2 get emu by using menu 1570 no use, parent control and pin numbers no use what now.helpppppppppp im goin mad

 

you will have to put the lastest software on you reciever, my mate had the same problem his box had the old software on , so i flashed it with the new file , now the codes work

 

when you select parental control put in 0000 then press the info on your remote and type in 2004 that will take you to the emu.

 

i think i have to put new software on thanks everybody

 

iv just received d rs232 cable which i bought on ebay,it wont fit d box?

 

is the different kinds of rs232 cables?

 

I THOUGHT YOU HAD ASTAR VIEW BOX.

 

was that meant 4me gary. i do have a starview box. i thought what i needed was an rs232 cable?

 

gary that rs cable should fit it should have 9 prongs either end it then screws into the back of your starview then into your computer.
