    Does it say 'THE Box' on the front of it?
    Why is the starview firmware loaded onto it?

    If you have loaded the firmware on to the BOX and its the correct one, you need to re-flash it again with the correct firmware, connect the BOX using the rs232 cable to your PC, turn the box off, start the loader and count to about 5 secs, then turn the box on at the back with the switch, may take a few attempts but it should flash the box.

    Dont load Starview 1 firmware or any other to the box or you will brick it or freeze it, it sounds like you loaded incorrect firmware or it was a bad flash, if the box is freezing with a green dash on the panel, do the above with THE BOX firmware only

    Did you do the above??? its a bad flash you have. Do the above with the THE BOX firmware the way I described and you should be back on.
