buying a starview 4 usb- name and shame of poor suppliers

I have flash lots of SV4 USB and not ever a prob, people fiddle with the remote etc thinking it will make it go faster, when the flash is been done, or they dont give the box enough time to reboot. As i say i have done lots of them and not even 1 8882 prob did i get.

 

Do you have any evidence to back up your view?

I reckon you've been very lucky, because I've had a bad flash and I wasn't doing anything.

 

Tony all i can say is ive done it, how do you prove something like that, if someone tells you they got a 8882 error, they are not going to say well, i was fiddling with the remote, or took out the dongle while the box was flashing because it was stuck on 0%, are they.?

First thing you must have is a clean usb dongle,
no other files on it then make sure you get the file from a proper site
Dongle must be inserted with box switched of at the switch at the back
after you start the download put the remote out of your hand so not to fiddle with it as people tend to do
after the box has rebooted wait 20 seconds before doing anything
then do your scan etc
then turn box off at front then the back switch then remove dongle
you wont have a problem after that.

 

All I'm asking is what makes you think that taking the usb out has anything to do with the 8882? Where did the idea come from? Who told you this? Starview?

 

Try it and see what happens, you might get lucky first few times, i have had people needing jtags on their boxes because of doing it, and also fiddling with there remotes.

 

You've just said that noone ever admits doing it. Make your mind up.

I have evidence because I've done it.

Is the SV4 the only box that's ever flashed badly? No.

I assume you profit from these boxes?

 

Before all the slander starts, Just keep this in mind........

These boxes are designed as a "free to air" box, and are sold as a "free to air" box. Most likely you bought 1 and it came without "modified firmware" loaded.
If you decided it's a good idea to change the firmware, and end up with a bricked box, how could this possibly be the manufacturer's fault ???
Even the original starview 1 is still working the way it was designed to......it still gets "free to air" stations.

So, quit complaining and if ya have a box that gets everything, lucky you !!

 

Haha. Wondered how long it would be. I only posted this two days ago:

Im talking about when they come on here not friends, after you tell them what happened they will confess, but people coming on to forums are different. you dont profit from friends and family members.

 

your talking out of you behind mate.
