    OK here is all the info you need follow this along with the guide i have pointed you to.

    Build the JTAG as below.

    JTAG is in the corner of the PCB and is a 20pin connector (no pins, just pads) layed out in a 2 x 10 array.

    Pin1 is the square pin.

    Connections are as follows:

    PIN9 = TMS
    PIN11 = TCK
    PIN13 = TDI
    PIN15 = TDO
    PIN19 = TRST

    Ground is all even number pins.

    VCC is the end of capacitor C40 nearest the processor.

    The box must be powered up to be flashed (don't worry about the lack of display or picture)

    Flashing with JKEYS
    -------------------

    Run JKEYS and Detect. Should come up as:

    Device ID: 0x1D405041
    Device: STi5518MVB-X

    Choose the IRD model as 4900

    Flash would be 29LV160
    Start : 7FE00000
    Bytes 20000

    Go into flash programmer.

    Erase chip first by clicking on Erase in the top right

    Flash chip with a working TSOP image by clicking on the top-right Program button.


    Flashing with S*YMax UP (Easier!)
    --------------------------------

    If you are having problems flashing with JKEYS you can also use S*YUP. This is much easier to use.

    Click on 2mb (0x7FE00000)
    Click Start
    Click Erase
    Click Write

    Choose your flash image .. sit back and wait

    Thanks to

    No the fixed 2.57 is 100% safe for clones, 2.60 upwards will kill clones.

    Hi guys, i am a complete novice at this and would appreciate some help please. I recently bought the starview 2 digital reciever and connected it to the NTL cable i have. The menu screen etc appears, i then selected NTL as my provider, ran the auto scan but it doesnt pick any channels up, just comes up with the message "FAILURE". Is this supposed to happen for first time users or am i supposed to be doing anything beforehand. Please please help me, really appreciate it. Thanks.

    I am in the UK, ive just checked, and its definitely in, just tested my connection using the old analogue box and the cable seems fine. Done the scan on the starview box and still coming up with constant failures.

    try scanning on tele**** and c&w because i have heard of people on n** that when they scanned got noting but when scanned on tele**** got all the channels.

    Just tried that, and still no luck, the connection i have is the cable going into the box, then another cable going from the cable to the tv aerial port (not sure what this cable is called) and thats all. Am i doing anything wrong? Really appreciate the advice your giving me anyway.
